Many boats on the river so when you book decide on the boat size you want. Some are 4 persons, some 8 or so and some quite large with tables, a roof and drinks served. The experience is stunning whichever boat you're sitting in. March 2025. Warm - about 30-32C.

Erika – South Africa

Absolutely wonderful. Saw the elephant herd crossing the Okovango river to go from Namibia to Botswana. Hippos were yawning at us. All within 10 meters and many more!!

Full description

Celebrate the end of the day as the sun sinks into the Chobe River on a 3-hour guided sunset cruise. Enjoy this special time of day in Africa as you cruise upstream into the Chobe National Park and see massive herds of elephants streaming to the river banks for their last drink.

After pickup from your centrally located Kasane accommodation, transfer to the Chobe River Jetty to board your boat. Make the most of the best time of day to view the abundant wildlife on the banks of the Chobe River. As the temperature cools, large herds of buffalo, zebra, giraffe, and impala can be seen making their way down to the river.

Hippos and crocodiles are also common sightings on the Chobe River Sunset Cruise. Elephants frequently cross the river to the islands where the lush green grass is available year-round. At the end of the cruise, you'll be transported back to your accommodation in Kasane.
