Perched on the banks of the Chobe River and set right next to the border of Chobe National Park, Chobe Safari Lodge is an exceptionally well-placed accommodation in this legendary big game region. One of the longest-standing lodges on the river, this down-to-earth lodge is a great choice for travellers who want to experience the dramatic wildlife of the Chobe River – where elephants and buffalo crowd the mid-year dry-season river banks in their hundreds if not thousands – and also see ‘the Smoke that Thunders’ at Victoria Falls too.

It is a well-appointed lodge, complete with a swimming pool, bar, restaurant, squash court and spa. Activities on offer include morning and afternoon game drives, sunset boat cruises and day-trips to Victoria Falls in neighbouring Zimbabwe. You can also visit a local village for an insight into life on the river and to learn about the culture and traditions of the area.

Chobe Safari Lodge is a very short drive from Kasane Airport, the regional travel hub, making it convenient to combine with other lodges across Botswana in safari areas such as the Okavango Delta.
