overview

Deep in the heart of the Botswana wilderness, with exceptional river views and breathtaking sunsets, Chobe Chilwero Lodge is an exclusive luxury safari lodge. Bordering the Chobe National Park and offering a remote riverside location, this lodge is ideal for romantics and adventurers. The Chobe National Park boasts the largest remaining population of elephants in the world, as well as large herds of buffalo, many predators and antelope.

Set out on daily game drives in 4x4 vehicles to search for these incredible wild animals. Another highly recommended activity is a sunset boat cruise along the river. These specially designed riverboats will bring you up close to the elephants while you sip on cocktails and watch the magnificent African sunset.

Traveller Reviews

  • Chobe Chilwero was a different experience and we enjoyed the late afternoon river cruises where we saw a lot of different animals drinking at the river and a huge variety of birds. We also were fortunate to see a huge number of elephants walk around our jeep down to the river. Again, the food was beautiful, staff very professional and we met great people.

  • Chobe Chilwero was exceptional (food, accommodation, guides etc). Even though the time of year wasn't ideal for game viewing, we still managed to see most of the big 5 (with the exception of Leopards).

  • The trip was fantastic. We even started planning for our return before we had finished the trip. We will definitely be using Go2Africa again. Everything went according to plan with not one hiccup. The two lodges were unbelievable and we will definitely include Chobe Chilwero in the itinerary of our next trip. The highlight was witnessing a pride of lions stalking and bringing down an impala. You don't get to see that every day. Even the guide was excited.
