NIGHT DRIVES
(Limited Numbers)

 

Drives will depart from the lodges in the early evening between 7 (Mowana) and 8 pm (Chobe), and will return at 9 and 10 pm. Night drives will not be offered on the evenings of :
  • The Ice Breaker function
  • The Poster buffet
  • The Conference Dinner

PLEASE NOTE:
The night drives are very limited. The first 80 delegates registering have one night drive included in their registration. Later registering delegates will be offered an alternative and an opportunity to exchange for a night-drive should that be possible. Any excess seats not pre-booked will be sold at the registration desk each morning. Delegates staying at the Chobe Safari Lodge will guided by the excellent Go Wild Safaris, and those at the MOWANA Safari Lodge will be guests of the renowned "InTo Africa Safaris".

PAYMENT NOTE: Costs are quoted in $US for convenience but charges will be payable in £UK as indicated. There may be small fluctuations between now and your registration date as exchange rates vary.

The cost provides for the vehicle and guide.

The night drives are of 2 hour duration and depart into the Lesoma valley (or similar) along the border with Zimbabwe, or into the Kasane Forest Reserve. The Chobe National Park is not fenced and game moves freely into the nearby valleys. The drives are subject to weather conditions and will be comfirmed on a daily basis. August is normally the end of the dry season and no rain is anticipated until September at the soonest.

TIP: While blankets are normally provided you are advised to take a sweater or jacket to keep warm. The temperature may be as low as 15°C at night and with wind chill become as low as 10°C. Long pants and closed shoes/boots are also a good idea

There are a minimum number of people required for a drive and refunds will be possible only if they do not reduce the total below this minimum.

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.
