as Biodiversity Centre, about halfway between the main highway and the Chobe Safari
Lodge, this research and education centre rescues small wildlife species, then rehabilitates
some into the wild and keeps the rest. It has some birds, a mongoose or two, and a particu-
larly large selection of snakes; if the latter give you frisson, this is the place to look at
them through the glass.
ZOO
Activities
Most lodges and campsites organise three-hour wildlife drives into Chobe National Park
(from P195), three-hour boat trips along Chobe Riverfront (from P190) and full-day ex-
cursions to Victoria Falls (from P1250) across the border in Zimbabwe.
In addition to those outfits that operate out of the lodges, the following safari compan-
ies are among those that operate out of Kasane.
