This is the perfect extension to any of our Victoria Falls trips. The Chobe region is a must see and home to the largest population of wild elephant in the world. The numbers are estimated at approximately 120,000 individuals. Their sometimes daily passage takes them from Zimbabwe through the Chobe and on into Namibia before returning. Elephant Valley Lodge lies along one of these routes and is situated in the Kasane Forest, which is adjacent to the Chobe National Park. You will explore this area by boat on the Chobe River and also open landrover safaris.
Due to capacity constraints in Botswana, there is a 20% non-refundable booking fee. This booking fee is paid to the lodges directly to secure reservations. This will be paid upon confirmation of your booking.
