How to Visit Chobe National Park
We booked our safari with Chobezi Expeditions through our hotel, Fawlty Towers (yes, like the television show) in Livingston, Zambia. A day expedition to Chobe National Park cost us $156 per person. Entrance to Chobe was included in the cost (normally around $7). Chobezi picked us up from the hotel, transported us across the border, and returned us to our hotel after the safari.
We entered Botswana after spending more than a week in Zambia. We purchased a return-visit visa in Zambia ($80 per person) instead of the the single-entry visa ($50) because we returned to our hotel in Livingston, Zambia afterward. Botswana does not require an entry visa for over 100 countries. Check out the Botswana embassy website see if your country is exempt.
