Location

The epitome of luxurious Botswana accommodation, Chobe Chilwero is located on the border of the Chobe National Park, a scant five minutes by road from Kasane and one and a half hours from Victoria Falls. This ideal location provides superb access to the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls and the Caprivi Strip, three of the most popular tourist attractions on Botswana safaris.

Chilwero quite literally means a “place of high view”, and the term accurately describes this exquisite Botswana lodge. It sits above the Chobe River and offers unparalleled panoramic views across the islands and flood plains, stretching as far as the neighbouring country of Namibia.

Accommodation and Facilities

Chobe Chilwero offers nine double- and six twin luxury cottages, all of which have been individually designed to blend in perfectly with the topography and natural vegetation of the surrounding area. The cottage floor plates measure 61 square metres in area. Each luxury cottage has its own en-suite bathroom with a large sunken handcrafted bath, indoor and outdoor showers, a private garden, “sala” or private balcony, mosquito nets, ceiling fans and air-conditioning.

The main public area includes an elegant lounge and dining room, which are linked to spectacular outdoor viewing decks. The well-stocked wine cellar is temperature controlled and houses a large variety of the finest South African and European wines. This superb lodge also boasts a swimming pool, library, curio and an e-communications centre that allows guests to keep in touch with e-mail and internet information.

Game Viewing & Activities

Chobe National Park covers a diverse range of landscapes ranging from riverine forests to floodplains and periodic marshlands. The area is home to the largest concentration of elephants in Africa, as well as an abundance of hippo, buffalo, antelope and lion. Chobe Chilwero offers guests complete flexibility regarding game viewing. Our highly qualified professional guides lead the morning and afternoon safari in customised open 4x4 game viewing vehicles and adventurous water sports in specially adapted safari motor boats. Sundowner Cruises are particularly spectacular for guests who watch as the sun sets on the Chobe River. Fishing excursions are also available. Subject to numbers, Chobe Chilwero offers flexibility in the duration and frequency of all game viewing holiday safaris.
