Two rivers, two countries, one extraordinary journey.
Few journeys in southern Africa offer this kind of contrast without ever feeling disjointed. Three nights in Livingstone put you at the edge of Victoria Falls from the Zambian bank, then the road crosses into Botswana, and Chobe National Park opens up.
Walk with endangered white rhinos on foot, encounter elephants at river level, and dine aboard the Royal Livingstone Express. In Botswana, settle into the unhurried canvas sanctuary of Tlouwana Tented Camp, and explore Chobe's legendary elephant herds on unhurried boat cruises.

Tlouwana Tented Camp
An intimate canvas camp on the edge of one of Africa's greatest wildlife destinations — unhurried, unfenced, and entirely at home in the wild of the Chobe River. Generous tents, personal hosting, and the quiet rhythms of the bush.
Mornings begin with the sound of the birds; evenings end around the campfire under a beautiful starry sky. Daily game drives and river safaris run straight from camp.

Questions, answered
How many guests are on this safari?
This package is deliberately intimate and limited to a maximum of eight guests, so every game drive and transfer stays private and unhurried.
When is the best time to visit Chobe?
The dry season from May to October concentrates wildlife around the Chobe River, making it the strongest window for massive elephant herds and predators. Green-season travel (November to April) rewards birders and photographers with lush scenery.
How do you travel between Livingstone and Chobe?
A shared road transfer crosses the iconic Kazungula Bridge, connecting Livingstone (Zambia) with Kasane (Botswana). All border formalities and bridge levies are handled by our local guides.
How much does this package cost?
This 8-day package is priced from $4,176 per person sharing during the shoulder season, and from $4,979 per person sharing during the high season. A single supplement of $1,048 (shoulder) or $1,236 (high season) applies for solo travellers.
