Value for money

Situated in Kasane, on the beautiful banks of the Chobe River in Botswana, lies Chobe Safari Lodge. Its location provides an excellent opportunity to see elephants, hippos and other wildlife in abundance, or to make exhilarating trips to Victoria Falls and Caprivi. This quite large, but intimate hotel shares borders with the Chobe National Park, as well as practically having the borders of four countries - Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana - on its doorstep. Also on your doorstep, are amazing views of the Chobe River, a great restaurant and bar, spa services (the foot- and-leg massage is a must after a long day) and dinners on the riverboat under star-studded African skies. The town of Kasana is only five minutes away, and it is a fifteen-minute drive to Chobe National Park. Complete with comfortable rooms, an activity center, game drives in the morning and afternoon, half and full day safari excursions, sunset boat cruises, photographic river cruises, scenic flights, Namibian village walks and, not forgetting, a flawless staff, the Chobe Safari Lodge offers an all-round safari escape and great value for money.

Rambling along the Chobe River, accommodation at Chobe Safari Lodge consists of 46 individually decorated safari rooms, 22 river rooms with riverside gardens, and eight thatched rondavels. A number of the safari rooms are suitable for families with separate children’s rooms and bunk beds. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning (except for the rondavels), fans and selected satellite television. Each room has its own patio providing privacy, so you can enjoy views of the river from the comfort of your own room. Or kick back in the Sedudu Bar, widely renowned as the sundowner spot of the region, as it overlooks the natural splendor of the river and floodplains. Nothing beats gazing at amazingly coloured skies with a freshly-made cocktail in your hand. The main lodge is centred round an elevated and expansive thatched open-sided dining deck that overlooks the swimming pool and, slightly further on, the Chobe River. The restaurant serves the indigenous and rich flavours of Africa (don’t leave without relishing your own stir-fry). The choices for breakfast are almost overwhelming (English or Continental), a light lunch is available as à la carte or buffet. Scrumptious, mouth-watering buffet dinners offer a wide variety of meals from exotic game meats, roasts, barbecues, stir-fries, Indian cuisine, or vegetarian dishes.

Activities at Chobe Safari Lodge

Along with many species of big game, Chobe National Park boasts the largest concentration of elephants in Africa. And just like the food, all the activities offered at the Chobe Safari Lodge are a little staggering. The game drives and boat cruises offer a formidable opportunity to witness amazing elephant interaction and other wildlife sightings. Due to its great location, this lodge is also the starting point for many other activities, such as game-viewing river cruises, local village visits or day trips to Victoria Falls. Have something special to celebrate? Book a private boat tour or game drive (on request). Feeling like being a bit more active? Hop in a boat for a fishing trip. Come back to join dinner during a boat cruise and sip wine while listening to hippos and taking in the other sounds of African nature. Yes, you have arrived in a little piece of heaven, smack bang in the middle of rural Africa. Cheers to that!

The accommodation rate at Chobe Safari Lodge includes breakfast and dinner. Also, one game drive is included in the rates. Additional meals, drinks or acrtivities may be booked and paid for the spot. You may also be interested in our 2 or 3 nights Chobe Safari Lodge packages that include full board and activities. Please make use of the contact form below for more information.

Tripadvisor comments Chobe Safari Lodge

Our family of 8 stayed in 4 comfortable, spacious, air conditioned roundels at Chobe Safari Lodge. Fabulous location next to Chobe river and ideal for sunset river cruises as the jetty was located in the garden of the lodge. Restaurant was good with plenty of choices of food that was freshly cooked in front of you. Would definitely recommend this lodge. wendycxx from Sevenoaks District, UK
Stayed here as part of a tour and it was very comfortable and the most incredible location. There were mongooses and warthogs on the grass outside the rooms with lots of wildlife so close. The hotel is next to the river and on the edge of the national park so it is very quick to be in the wild, and equally quick to be back in very luxurious surroundings. This is in the middle of rural Africa and I felt very lucky to have such service and facilities. Rose_of_York from Yorkshire, UK

How guest reviews work

Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score, we add up all the review scores and divide that total by the number of review scores we received. We only use a weighted review system for properties in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains) – the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the review score calculation. Guests can also give separate subscores in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently – there’s no direct link between them.

You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.

Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):

  • Politically sensitive comments
  • Promotional content
  • Illegal activities
  • Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
  • Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
  • Spam and fake content
  • Animal cruelty
  • Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
  • Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.

An accommodation can reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.

Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Chobe Safari Lodge In Botswana: A Complete Review With Photos

' src=

I stayed four nights at Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana, hosted by the Botswana Tourism Organisation. I wasn’t required to write this post, but I thought it might be useful so I’m doing it anyway! All opinions are my own, honestly held, and I don’t accept freebies or payment in exchange for positive reviews. This post was typed by me with my own ten fingers and no AI was involved, so if you spot any mistakes, I take full responsibility.

Contents (click to view)

On my first morning in Botswana, I woke early, twitchy to get out and make the most of every second in this exciting new country. With a cup of tea in hand, I slid back the glass door of my room and stepped out onto the balcony.

The day had not yet warmed up, and the morning was pleasantly cool. Directly ahead of me, a short stretch of bright green lawn, glistening from overnight rain, led down to the lazy Chobe River. On the other side, close enough to swim if it weren’t for the grumpy hippos and hungry crocodiles, I could see Namibia.

A white-browed robin-chat photographed from my balcony at Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana

On a branch at eye-level to my first-floor vantage point, a pretty brown-and-orange bird (that I later learned was a white-browed robin-chat) launched into a jaunty song, lustily informing the world that a new day had begun. His welcome was heard not just by me, but by a family of vervet monkeys, which hopped about on the grass below, foraging for a breakfast of roots and seeds.

All this wonder without even leaving my hotel room. I knew immediately that I was going to love Botswana.

Chobe Safari Lodge Botswana review

Introducing Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana

This wonderful oasis of tranquility was Chobe Safari Lodge, a 4* hotel in the town of Kasane, in the north of Botswana, right up next to the border with Namibia.

Kasane is one of Botswana’s two main tourism hubs, offering quick and easy access to Chobe National Park, one of the country’s most sensational wildlife-viewing destinations.

The lodge is located on the edge of Kasane, only about a ten-minute drive from the airport, and right next to the Chobe River, giving the hotel fabulous river views and easy access for wildlife-spotting boat cruises along the river and into the National Park.

Chobe Safari Lodge: at a glance

Here are some basic facts about Chobe Safari Lodge:

  • Age: Established in 1959, Chobe Safari Lodge is nearly 65 years old! It was the first hotel to be built in Kasane.
  • Number of rooms: Chobe Safari Lodge has 52 double rooms, four family rooms, and eight traditional riverfront thatched huts called Rondavels.
  • Campsite: For the budget-conscious, the lodge also has a campsite offering 23 pitches with power points.
  • Facilities: Chobe Safari Lodge has a pool, a restaurant, two bars, spa treatments and a gift shop. There’s no gym.
  • Wi-Fi: There is Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, though it’s stronger closer to the main reception.
  • Air-Con: All the rooms have air conditioning.
  • Price: Prices vary depending on type of room and dates, but rooms start from about £250/$300 a night, on a room-only basis. More on room rates below.

The entrance to Chobe Safari hotel in Botswana

Chobe safari lodges: which is which?

Before I get into my review, I’ll just clear up some confusion. Chobe Safari Lodge is by no means the only safari hotel or lodge in the Chobe area, and they all have very similar names! Which means that when I first arrived and was trying to get there from the airport, I got into a bit of a muddle and nearly went to the wrong one!

Here are some of the other safari lodges in Chobe that you might confuse it for (or want to consider for your stay in Kasane):

Chobe Bush Lodge

Chobe Bush Lodge is the recently-built sister hotel to Chobe Safari Lodge and sits just opposite, sharing the same grounds and some of the same facilities. Chobe Bush Lodge has 38 luxury rooms plus 4 family suites all facing directly onto Chobe National Park, so you don’t get the river views but you do get animals running through the garden.

Chobe Game Lodge

Unrelated to Safari and Bush, Chobe Game Lodge is a luxury five-star lodge run by Desert & Delta Safaris. Established in 1973, it was the first five-star lodge in Botswana and it remains the only permanent accommodation inside the Chobe National Park boundary, right on the shore of the Chobe River. It’s also famously the place where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton remarried just over a year after they had divorced from their first 10-year marriage.

I stayed two nights at Chobe Game Lodge at the end of my trip, and there’ll be a separate review of my experience travelling with Desert & Delta coming soon.

My room at Chobe Game Lodge in Botswana

Chobe Savanna Lodge

Also run by Desert & Delta, Chobe Savanna Lodge is a small boutique safari camp with only twelve chalets. It sits on the Namibia side of the Chobe River but you get there by crossing the river from Kasane.

Mowana Safari Resort

This one doesn’t have such a confusing name, but I’m including it here as another option for Chobe accommodation. Mowana Safari Resort is a very nice but big five-star hotel with two pools, a gym, Clarins spa, and 9-hole golf course. I didn’t spend the night here, but I visited daily for four days as it’s where the conference I was attending was held, and I thought it looked like another great place to stay in Chobe.

Mowana Safari Resort is another great place to stay near Chobe National Park

Chobe Marina Lodge

As the name suggests, Chobe Marina Lodge is also located on the Chobe River, just along from Chobe Safari Lodge. Rooms and suites are luxuriously decorated in a chic African style and it has a pool and spa, but at roughly £350/$430 a night for a standard room, it’s a bit more expensive than Chobe Safari Lodge.

Chobe River Lodge

Goodness me, there are a lot of places named ‘Chobe X Lodge’, aren’t there?! Chobe River Lodge is another very smart four-star hotel with a pool, 12 luxurious and newly-renovated rooms, and a riverfront setting. Prices start from $275 per person per night.

Rooms at Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana

Now that we’ve cleared that up, and you know which hotel we’re talking about, let’s get back to the matter in hand.

Chobe Safari Lodge has five different types of rooms, as follows:

  • Safari Rooms: These are large doubles, relatively recently redecorated, set back from the river with gardens in front.
  • River Rooms: This is the type of room I had. These are closest to the main reception and dining areas of the lodge, and look out over the Chobe River. They are a bit smaller than the safari rooms (though still large), and in mine at least the décor was a little dated and could do with being renovated.
  • Bush Rooms: Large, modern rooms with garden or forest views and an open-plan design – so no separation between the bedroom and bathroom, though the toilet is in a separate room, don’t worry!
  • Rondavels: These are the original accommodation: traditional thatched huts, right on the river, with riverfront verandas. They’re smaller than the other rooms but are totally private and you’ll feel like you’re right in the bush.
  • Family Rooms: Made up of two adjoining doubles with two bathrooms.

My room at Chobe Safari Lodge was spacious with a nice balcony but a bit dated

Chobe Safari Lodge camping

If you’re on a budget, another great option is to take advantage of the campsite at Chobe Safari Lodge. There are 23 pitches, each with power points, and three bathroom blocks. I didn’t camp, but I met some fellow travellers who were camping and they seemed to be enjoying it. Take care not to walk around after dark as animals can come into the campsite.

Facilities at Chobe Safari hotel

Since it’s a reasonably-sized hotel, Chobe Safari Lodge has most of the facilities you’d expect, including:

Bar: There are two bars: a cocktail bar next to the restaurant and overlooking the river, and the Sedudu Bar which is a short walk away from the main building, also offering fabulous sunset river views. I’m lazy so I mostly ended up at the bar by the restaurant from where you can happily sit and watch the sunset and the boats returning from their sundowner cruises (see below).

Pool: The pool is located right next to the restaurant in the middle of the main area, and is quite small, though plenty big enough for cooling off after a hot and dusty game drive. I did feel like it was a bit central and everyone walking past can watch you swimming, so if you’re self-conscious in your bikini you might feel a bit exposed. But during the day most people are doing other stuff anyway.

The pool at Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana is overlooked by the restaurant

Spa: I didn’t use the spa services, but you can book facials and massages at reception. There’s no gym, sauna or jacuzzi.

Laundry: A laundry service is available, but unlike at many other safari camps, you have to pay per item.

Room amenities: All rooms have a kettle with tea and coffee and a hairdryer. Irons and ironing boards are available on request. Shampoo, shower gel, body lotion and insect repellent are provided in the bathroom.

You have two options for meals at Chobe Safari Lodge. Unlike at some of the other safari camps I stayed, the food is not included in the room rate.

Main restaurant

There’s a big restaurant in the main building, with some tables inside (where it’s spacious but quite dark) and some on a patio overlooking the pool and the river beyond. Food here is served buffet-style with a huge range of dishes to choose from.

At breakfast you can have eggs cooked to order as well as pancakes, waffles, fruit, cereals, pastries and bread, and some traditional Setswana dishes.

Inside the main restaurant at Chobe Safari Lodge

Dinner was similar, with a wide variety of things to try, different meats and fish, vegetarian options, some stuff pre-prepared and some quicker dishes cooked to order.

Overall I thought that as buffets go it was pretty decent – buffet-style food is never going to be the very best but I thought they did a good job. However, at 350 Pula per person for dinner (about £20 or $26) it was pretty expensive, but that’s what you get in a nice hotel in touristy Kasane!

Chobe Bush Lodge à la carte

Guests at Chobe Safari Lodge can also walk across to the restaurant in the sister hotel, Chobe Bush Lodge, where meals are served with a menu, à la carte. They have a range of meat and fish dishes as well as some local options – you can even try crocodile tail! Prices start from about BWP 70 (£4 or $5.20) for a starter and BWP 170 (£10 or $12.60) for a main. At busy times it’s a good idea to book ahead.

Tandurei Restaurant, Kasane

As another option, just outside the main gate to the complex is a local restaurant, Tandurei. To save money we ate here once, and although the service was suuuper slow (and I’m not sure why as we were the only people there!) the food was pretty decent, and much cheaper than eating in the hotel. They have a huge menu of Indian and Asian dishes such as curry and noodles, as well as kebabs, steaks, ribs, fried chicken and fish.

Activities at Chobe Safari Lodge Botswana

Of course you don’t come all the way to Botswana to sit in the hotel! There’s wildlife to see and adventures to be had, and here’s where I thought Chobe Safari Lodge did great. Here are some of the activities and day trips they offer:

Game drives in Chobe National Park

Every day in the morning and late afternoon you have the chance to do a game drive into Chobe National Park. Depending on the season and weather, game drives typically start at 6 am and 3 pm, and last about 3 hours, before you return to the lodge for breakfast or dinner.

Game drives cost from BWP 360 (US$46) for an adult, with park entry fees of BWP 190 (US$20) not included.

The Sedudu Gate park entrance is about a ten minute drive from the lodge along the main road. After your guide has signed you in, you then drive around in an open-sided car, looking at all the amazing animals. On our first drive we saw impala, waterbuck, jackals, warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, a lion, buffalo and many, many birds, and on our second we saw more of the above plus two male lions, kudu and elephants.

Our safari car waiting at the entrance to Chobe National Park

One thing I liked less about the game drives here is that due to the number of guests, the cars are quite big. Unlike the cars they use at the smaller lodges in the Okavango Delta, which tend to seat no more than 6 guests with everyone getting a window seat and sometimes even a row to themselves, the cars used by Chobe Safari Lodge are bigger, sometimes seating 9 or even 12 passengers in rows of three.

As a photographer I found this frustrating because I couldn’t always get a good angle on the thing we were looking at, and I had to shoot across people. Also more people means more noise and more opinions about whether you stay for a bit longer, or leave!

If you’re a photographer and this sort of thing matters to you, you have three options:

  • Accept that this is just the way it is and that you will have better photography opportunities elsewhere in your trip.
  • Pay more to book a private game drive (BWP 2860 / US$370 per car).
  • Stay in a smaller lodge where they use smaller cars.

But no matter what, you’re going to have a fantastic time on your game drive. There’s loads of wildlife to see in Chobe National Park, the landscapes are beautiful and the guides are extremely knowledgeable and informative.

Boat cruises along the Chobe River

The other activity you’re definitely going to want to do during your stay in Kasane is a wildlife boat cruise.

Chobe Safari Lodge occupies a prime spot on the bank of the Chobe River, just a short cruise from the riverside park entrance, where you pull in briefly to sign in before continuing your cruise into the park.

They have their own jetty with three or four boats of different sizes, including one large one with a rooftop viewing area and smaller ones for private cruises.

A photo of the author enjoying the views from the top deck of a boat cruise at Chobe Safari Lodge.

I took one of their sunset boat cruises, which leaves at 3 pm and returns around sunset, which when I visited in December was about 6.45 pm. This cruise costs BWP 350 (US$42) and does not include the park entry fee of BWP 190 (US$20) or any drinks you might want to buy from the on-board bar (you can charge these to your room so you don’t need to bring cash).

Game viewing from a boat is an incredible experience as the animals come right to the water’s edge to drink and you can get really close to them. On our 3-hour cruise we saw dozens of hippos and buffalo, as well as many storks, herons and other water birds, elephants, impala, baboons and crocodiles.

As the sun gets low in the sky it can shine right in your face under the canopy, so make sure you’re wearing suncream and bring a hat and sunglasses.

Watch the sunset from the bar at Chobe Safari Lodge

One of the things I really loved about Chobe Safari Lodge was its west-facing river front location, meaning that you get really wonderful sunset views over the river.

If you’re not already out having sunset drinks on a boat cruise or game drive, a wonderful way to end the day is with a cold beer or an Okavanago gin and tonic at one of the bars, looking out as the sky turns from yellow to tangerine to rose to indigo and the cruise boats slowly make their way back to the jetty.

Visit Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is one of the world’s largest waterfalls, with a width of 1708 m (5604 ft). The falls sit on the Zambezi River on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, about an hour’s drive from Kasane (the thing that takes the time in getting there is not so much the drive, but the border formalities you have to do to be able to cross into Zimbabwe).

I only found out you could visit them from Kasane when it was too late for me to organise a trip, and I’m gutted I missed out. Everyone who’d been said a visit to Vic Falls is a must-do when you’re in Kasane, and it’s very easy to organise at the reception in Chobe Safari Lodge.

Day trips last from 8 am to 5 pm with most of the day spent at the Victoria Falls, and cost from BWP 995 (US$110).

Victoria Falls is easily doable as a day trip from Chobe Safari Lodge

Kazungula Bridge

Another nearby point of interest that’s worth a quick look if you have time is the brand new Kazungula Bridge over the Zambezi River.

The Zambezi forms the border between Botswana and Zambia, and until the bridge opened in May 2021, the only way you could travel between the two countries was by ferry. This caused huge tailbacks and often the ferry would break down, making crossing impossible.

Eventually, in an epic work of international collaboration, the two governments got together and agreed to build a bridge, with border checkpoints at either end. The new bridge is a massive feat of engineering: at 923 metres (3,028 ft) long, it took 7 years to build and cost US$259.3 million.

The new Kazungula Bridge is quite an impressive structure

There are road, rail and pedestrian sections, so you can walk over the bridge and admire the spectacular views.

One remarkable point of interest to look out for when you’re there (though sadly its not something you can actually see) is the only quadripoint in the world, where the borders of four countries meet. There are plenty of tripoints, but this is the only quadripoint.

Standing on the bridge you can see Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, which is pretty cool. But there’s no marker post because the quadripoint itself is in the river!

This ferry used to be the only way to cross the Zambezi between Botswana and Zambia

Other activities

If you’re on honeymoon, feeling adventurous, or want to do something really special, there are a few other activities on offer at Chobe Safari Lodge, such as:

  • Going fishing in the Chobe River
  • Namibian village walk and cultural visit
  • Romantic dinner cruise
  • Scenic helicopter flight over Chobe National Park

How much do Chobe Safari Lodge activities cost?

For ease of reference, here are the prices for all the activities Chobe Safari Lodge offer. These are 2023 prices, so may change in 2024.

Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana Activities Price List

Chobe Safari Lodge prices

So how much does Chobe Safari Lodge cost?

Well, let’s say you’re a couple staying in a standard room with garden view for three nights next March (which is the end of low season, when rates are cheaper). On top of this you want to do one morning and one afternoon game drive, and one morning and one afternoon boat cruise.

According to Booking Dotcom , that will cost you £772 ($986) with breakfast from £14 ($18) per person, or £845 ($1079) with breakfast included.

Your activities will cost £138 ($176) per person, or £276 ($352) for both of you.

On top of this you’ll need to factor in lunches, dinners, and any drinks you may want.

Is Chobe Safari Lodge family friendly?

I don’t have kids so I can’t really comment on exactly how family friendly the lodge is, but what I can tell you is that unlike quite a few Botswana safari camps where children under six are not allowed, Chobe Safari Lodge welcomes children of all ages and allows them on game drives and wildlife viewing activities.

They also offer babysitting services and run a kids’ club over the Christmas period.

Whether you’d want to bring very young children on safari in Botswana is a different question, and one only you can answer.

How to get to Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana

Chobe Safari Lodge is just a 10-minute drive from Kasane International Airport. There are no direct flights from the USA or Europe to Kasane, but you can easily get a flight to an African hub like Johannesburg or Addis Ababa, and from there connect with a flight to Kasane. The flight from Johannesburg to Kasane with Airlink took about two hours.

Chobe Safari Lodge Botswana: my final verdict

So after all that, what did I really think about Chobe Safari Lodge and would I recommend it?

While it wasn’t my favourite place I stayed during my three weeks in Botswana, that may partly be because I was lucky enough to stay in some truly amazing places , and I much prefer the smaller, more intimate bush camps to a larger hotel like this one.

But as a place to start your Botswana adventure, I think Chobe Safari Lodge is great. It has everything you need, it’s in the perfect location close to Chobe National Park, there are loads of activities, and it’s a great way to ease yourself into the safari vibe – a sort of halfway step between the modern comforts and practicality of home, and the raw wonder of being deep in the Botswana wilderness.

After a few days of settling in here, you’ll then be ready to go all-out into the remote corners of the Okavango Delta or Makgadikgadi Pans National Park , to really get up close and personal with Botswana’s incredible landscapes and wildlife.

  • Our itinerary is flexible so while we have a range of activities on offer, you can choose just how much you want to pack into your holiday or how relaxed you want to be.
  • All fuel and equipment hire (e.g. fishing rods, lures, etc)

Deluxe Cabins

in the Deluxe Cabins as you lie in bed and drink in your striking surroundings, you’ll find it very hard to leave the comfort of your cabin onboard one of our Chobe Princess houseboats. Tasteful décor cleverly combines local flavor with contemporary design, and the overall focal point is the large sliding window that frames the changing African landscapes perfectly. Two of the 18-meterChobe Princesses contain four cabin suites, while the third is slightly larger with five suites. Each cabin sleeps two people – either in a king-sized bed or in two single beds if you prefer. Along with air-conditioning, cabins are fitted with mosquito-proofed windows and en-suite bathrooms with a shower, toilet, and basin. Toiletries are provided for your comfort, as well as insect repellant for a peaceful night’s sleep. Hairdryers are available on request.

Head to the upper entertainment deck of your houseboat and relax in the spacious lounge and bar, as you take time to simply sit back and soak up the scenery. This deck also has an open-air dining area where you can enjoy superb seasonal meals prepared by our experienced chefs. Want to cool off? Take a dip in the plunge pool before unwinding on a sun lounger with an ice-cold drink served all day from our bar. Our lounge area comes with comfortable couches, tables, and chairs that are the perfect place from which to enjoy a spot of game viewing or simply to spend time with family and friends. As night draws in, enjoy some unforgettable stargazing under a vast African sky.
