| CHOBE RIVER CRUISES |
Cruises will depart from the lodges before 3 and will return
before 6 pm. Delegates staying at the Chobe Safari Lodge will
depart direct from the Mowana Lodge conference venue, and
accompanying person collected (if required) from the Chobe Safari
Lodge.
The cost provides for the boat,
guide, park entry fee and a packed lunch meal.
NOTE: These prices are based on the advised park
entry fee for the year 2000. In the event that the National Parks
authorities elect to make a further increase in 2001, delegates
will be offered the opportunity to pay a surcharge or accept a
refund. There is a minimum number of people required for a cruise
and refunds will otherwise be possible only if cancellations do
not affect the minimum number.
Delegates will be able pre-book for up to two afternoon game
cruises (the two other afternoons being available for drives),
any extra places will be sold through the registration desk.
Delegates staying at the Mowana will be guests of the renowned "InTo
Africa Safaris" and
will be able to customise their pre-booked game viewing through
the registration desk.

The river cruises are of 2 - 3 hour duration and pass along the bank of the Chobe River as well as past the islands between Botswana and Namibia. August is the end of the dry season when game concentrates along the river bank. |
| The lodges operate a variety of boats able to accommodate groups as large as 30 in comfort, or more specialised groups in smaller boats - in which the prospect of getting wet is very real! |

Delegates will be pre-booked on drives and cruises from the operator at the lodge where they are resident since the Hotel's policy does not cover guests for MRI when using outside operators.
