Know before you go

  • Cross-Border Travel: This itinerary involves international travel between Zimbabwe and Botswana. Guests must carry valid passports and any visas or travel documentation required for their nationality. Border procedures can change, and processing times cannot always be guaranteed.

  • Chobe Safari: Chobe is a genuine wildlife environment. Although the itinerary is designed around predator and elephant viewing, wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. Animal movements depend on season, water levels, weather, and natural behaviour.

  • Boat Safari: The Chobe River is a natural water environment. Guests may encounter elephants, hippos, and crocodiles at close range. Remain seated and follow the boat guide's instructions at all times.

  • Helicopter Flight: The 12-minute Flight of Angels is subject to weather and aviation operating conditions. Aircraft type and seating arrangements are determined by the aviation operator.

  • Victoria Falls Rainforest: The Falls generate substantial spray, particularly during high-water periods. Walking paths may become wet and slippery. Comfortable shoes with good grip and a lightweight waterproof jacket are recommended.

  • Climate: Victoria Falls and Chobe can experience warm to hot daytime temperatures. Early mornings on safari can be significantly cooler, particularly during the dry season. Layered clothing is recommended.

  • Dietary Requirements: Please advise Butterfly Travel Experience of allergies or dietary requirements when booking.

  • Best For: This safari is ideal for couples, honeymooners, luxury travellers, short-stay visitors, first-time safari guests, wildlife enthusiasts, and photographers.
