Chobe Safari Lodge

Location

Chobe Safari Lodge is situated in Kasane on the banks of the Chobe River and shares a border with Chobe National Park. Right on our doorstep is the meeting of four African countries: Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Chobe Safari Lodge therefore offers an excellent getaway location to Chobe, Victoria Falls or Caprivi.

Our close proximity to Victoria Falls International Airport, Livingstone International Airport and Kasane International Airport makes us easily accessible, with daily road transfers or charter flights connecting all these airports with Chobe Safari Lodge. The lodge has been recently renovated; matching a magical lodge experience to the spectacular game viewing.

General

On Botswana’s far northern border lie the Kwando, Linyanti and Chobe River systems that form a mosaic of lakes, islands, channels and floodplains. Part of this system is the Chobe National Park, renowned for its vast herds of elephant and buffalo.

Botswana African safaris are an unparalleled African experience. On Botswana’s far northern border lies the Kwando, Linyanti and the Chobe river system, which forms a series of lakes, islands and floodplains and is home to some of the last great wildlife herds of Africa. The Chobe National Park, famous for its large elephant and buffalo herds, lies on the banks of the Chobe River just above its confluence with the Zambezi.

From the village of Kasane, the Park extends some 11 700sq km towards the south and west. Vegetation ranges from the dense riverine and grass floodplains of the north to the teak forests and mopane woodlands (with scattered pans and water holes) towards the Mababe Depression and Savuti channel in the south.
In addition to the “BIG GAME” and a variety of predators that you will encounter on safari in Botswana, there are eighteen species of antelope in the park, including rare animals such as puku, lechwe and the shy Chobe bushbuck. Hippo, crocodile and an abundance of game and birdlife decorate the waterways of this river system, and game viewing by river boat constitutes a game drive with a difference.
