Chobe Game Lodge

Chobe National Park, Botswana - Classic 4

Chobe Game Lodge is one of Botswana's most exclusive safari resorts. Situated in the remote and unspoiled northern territory of Chobe National Park, approximately 1.5 hours from Victoria Falls.

Built in the early 1970's, the luxury 5-star lodge was designed to make the most of the river frontage. The wide front veranda offers views of the river from comfortable and elegantly appointed seating areas – and every room has a balcony that faces the river.

The recently built boardwalk has added a whole new dimension to game-viewing – simply find your favourite spot along this 250 metre elevated platform and settle down to watch the ever-changing wildlife parade across the river, islands, floodplains and even as far away as Namibia.

Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is one of the world’s greatest safari destinations, boasting four distinctly different ecosystems: the spectacular Chobe floodplains and riverfront to the northeast, the Savute Marsh in the west, the Linyanti Swamps in the northwest and Nogatsaa, the hot, dry hinterland in between.

The Chobe Riverfront boasts the largest concentration of elephant in Africa – more than 40 000 of them – making this one of the best game viewing locations in Africa. Giraffe punctuate the skyline; hundreds of antelope dot the landscape, and the magnificent elephants dominate the riverbanks – drinking and playing in the water.

Driving or boating amongst huge herds of elephant is something everyone should experience and Chobe Game Lodge is fortunate enough to have the prime location on the Chobe Riverfront.

The Chobe region is home to more than 450 species of birds and is a must for keen birders. Apart from the regional specials such as rosy-throated longclaw and African skimmer there is the spectacle of huge flocks of African openbills, pratincoles and colourful bee-eaters to enjoy.

Along with huge numbers of elephant; healthy herds of buffalo sometimes 200 strong, lion, leopard and even the endangered wild dog are all frequently seen.

A trip to Botswana is not complete without a visit to the magnificent Chobe River in the Chobe National Park!
