The Best of Chobe Photo Safari

Arrive independently to Kasane airport where you will be greeted by your dedicated photo host. You will then take a short transfer across the Chobe River (to the Namibian side) where you will board your floating lodge and settle in for your 3 night stay.

Your itinerary over these 3 days will be relaxed and full of fantastic photo opportunities as your houseboat cruises up and down the river between its 3 set mooring points. A standard day will see you wake early and head out in the houseboat’s 8-seater photo boat for a guided cruise along the river in search of wildlife. Each seat rotates 360 degrees and has a camera mount built into the chair making it perfect for capturing those special shots and allowing for interaction with your photo tutor and fellow guests. You will return to the houseboat for a tasty brunch as we set sail for the next mooring point. Your afternoon can be spent relaxing on deck or joining your photo host for a review of the images you will have taken on your morning cruise.

In the late afternoon, a couple of hours before sunset, the houseboat will have reached the next mooring point and you can hop back into the photo boat to see what subjects can be found during the “golden hour” at the end of the day. Enjoy a refreshing sundowner as you soak up the sights and sounds of the river before returning to the houseboat for a delicious three-course meal surrounded by the sounds of the wildlife calling from the National Park on the opposite bank.

3 nights accommodation on the Pangolin Voyager Houseboat with all meals, beverages & activities included.

On day 4, after a morning photo boat tour and brunch onboard, it will be time to disembark and transfer back to Botswana to The Pangolin Chobe Hotel where you will stay for your final 3 nights.

During your time at this beautiful lodge you will enjoy daily activities again focused on photographing the iconic wildlife and scenery of this remarkable area. The lodge boasts an idyllic location overlooking the Chobe River and the Caprivi Floodplains, just a few hundred meters away from the Chobe National Park boundary, meaning you can now enjoy a wonderful combination of Park game drives and boat tours. Your game drives in the National Park will again be guided by your dedicated photo host, and as we search for an abundance of wildlife including lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes and much more, there will be time to spend longer at each sighting in order to completely perfect your snaps.

In between the game drives and boat tours, you can enjoy some relaxation at your award-winning hotel, where you will find an eco-pool, a stunning photo gallery and editing suite and a delightful bar which serves the best cocktails in Kasane accompanied by spectacular views.

Evenings will be filled with image review sessions, delicious meals, and relaxation time around the sunken firepit with your new-found friends.
