You will be picked from your lodge/hotel in Livingstone and proceed straight away to Kazungula - Zambia/Botswana one stop border post, a distance of about 80 kms. Please do not carry all your luggage from your lodge/hotel as you will return back to the same lodge/hotel on the same day at the end of the Chobe day trip unless otherwise.

Very important information.

Please ensure that you obtain a KAZA Visa in advance that will enable/allow you enter Botswana on a day trip which cost $50. This KAZA visa can be obtained at the port of entry the first time you enter Zambia. This can be done either at the Lusaka's Kenneth Kaunda International Airport or the Livingstone's Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport or at the Zambia's Victoria Falls Border.

If you do not obtain a KAZA Visa, you still can exit Zambia and enter Botswana subject to conditions attached to the nationality of your passport and you declare that you are going for a full day Chobe Day Trip. At the end of the day trip and upon returning to Zambia, the Zambian Immigration Officers will charge you $10 (valid at the time of writing) to allow you re-enter Zambia. So kindly decide and choose which option you prefer. The advantage of getting a KAZA Visa is that you can also use it to enter Zimbabwe from Zambia and remain there for 30 days of touring around Zimbabwe.

The park is widely known for its large elephant population, estimated to be around 50,000. Elephants living here are Kalahari elephants, the largest in herd size of all known elephant populations. They are characterized by rather brittle ivory and short tusks, perhaps due to calcium deficiency in the soils.
