Victoria Falls and Chobe: 6-Day Accessible Safari

6 days · By road, with a helicopter flight · Victoria Falls, Kasane, the Chobe riverfront

Two nights at the falls, then three on the Chobe River in Botswana, the country with the most elephants on Earth. For elephant lovers and those who want a calmer, boat-based safari.

Who it works for

• Physical (wheelchair users and slow walkers): Yes (game viewing is largely from the boat and vehicle, with two nights or more at each stop)
• Visual (blind and low vision): With support (guides describe the herds, and the river sounds are close)
• Hearing (Deaf and hard of hearing): Yes (wildlife viewing is visual; written briefs and an interpreter on request)
• Hidden (autism, fatigue, chronic illness): Yes (a slow river rhythm and quiet lodges)
