Six-day Okavango, Savuti, Chobe & Victoria Falls tour review

Our verdict: the overland option — a six-day camping safari covering four destinations: Okavango Delta, Savuti, Chobe National Park, and Victoria Falls. Too new for a review history, but this is for travelers who want the multi-destination combo and don’t mind camping. Significantly cheaper than fly-in lodge experiences.

Day 4: Savuti in northern Botswana — wildlife game drive, known for large predator sightings. Day 5: Chobe National Park — Chobe River boat cruise (elephants in huge herds) and game drive. Day 6: Transfer to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe side, sunset at the falls, return to Livingstone or return to Maun (check itinerary). Camping at established campsites with basic facilities; communal dinners and group setup.

Insider tip

Book this if you want to cover as much ground as possible in one trip and have camping experience. Bring a sleeping bag rated for cool nights (Botswana dry season nights drop to 5–15°C). Pack dust-proof bags, a water bottle, and anti-diarrhea tablets (camping sanitation can be basic).

Who it’s for, and who it’s not

Adventurous travelers, backpackers, and experienced campers who want to see multiple countries and wildlife zones in one trip. Good for groups and younger travelers. Not for anyone who needs comfort, privacy, or is new to camping. Compare with day trips from Maun if you prefer a single location and lodge comfort.

Frequently asked questions

What’s included in the $3,000 price?

Accommodation (camping), meals, vehicle, guide, park entry fees, and boat cruises at Chobe. NOT included: international flights, visas (Zimbabwe and Zambia may require them), travel insurance, or alcohol. Check the full itinerary on the booking page.

Is camping safe?

Established campsites are fenced and have staff. Wildlife doesn’t enter camp. But insects (mosquitoes, tsetse flies in some areas) are real; bring bug spray. Toilets and water are basic but functional.

How many people in the group?

Usually 8–15 travelers per vehicle. Smaller than a bus tour but larger than private. You’ll meet other adventure travelers and often make friends.
