An exquisite luxury riverside lodge bordering Chobe National Park – home to the world’s largest population of elephants – Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero offers high levels of comfort and presents the perfect conclusion to any adventure through this breathtaking country. Set on a hill above the Chobe River, the lodge looks over views of the surrounding islands and floodplains, and is exceptionally indulgent with just 15 suites, a spa and a split-level swimming pool. Enjoy thrilling game drives led by professional guides (included) or take a trip to the thundering Victoria Falls, just a short one-and-a-half hour drive away (at extra cost).
Set by the side of the unpredictable Savute Channel which winds through this spellbinding area of the Chobe National Park, this beautiful two-storey lodge is all about the location. With just 12 thatched chalets housing a maximum of 24 guests, you’ll enjoy an intimate yet sociable stay in this welcoming lodge. At the end of a day of game drives and wildlife spotting, sink in to one of the library’s cosy sofas with a good book, enjoy a delicious cocktail at the bar or convene around the boma’s firepit to reminisce on the day’s events. Complete with a shaded viewing deck, al fresco dining area and swimming pool, every inch of this beautiful lodge ensures that you are always in the perfect spot to see the wildlife, including the resident elephants who make their way down to the channel to drink, bathe and play.
The only accommodation of its kind found in the riverfront region of the Chobe National Park, the superb location of Chobe Game Lodge makes wildlife spotting easy, immersing you in the tranquillity of the bush. Head out with a guide in a 4x4 as soon as the gates open, and for a moment, you'll have this incredible park almost to yourself. There are three game-viewing opportunities to enjoy a day, starting with a morning game drive. After breakfast, set out on a mid-morning safari boat to spot vast numbers of impala and giraffe. The afternoon provides two options, and you can either opt for another game drive with an expert local guide or take to the water for a sunset safari cruise – a real highlight of any stay here. While the animals are the starring attraction, the luxurious lodge perfectly complements this phenomenal experience. Five-star luxury is hemmed by an expansive 250-metre elevated boardwalk and deck, great for watching the incredible creatures that wander the floodplain. One of the first lodge's in the region, here you'll find an element of nostalgia mixed with contemporary touches such as beautifully modern cuisine, a large swimming pool, a spa and gym, and several bars and terraces where you can unwind after a day of adventure. Televisions have been banished from the rooms and suites here, ensuring that you make the most of every moment. Comfortable, stylish and offering everything you would expect from a five star game lodge, the rooms here range from Standard Riverview Rooms to indulgent Honeymoon Suites and spacious Luxury Family Suites. Dedicated to the conservation of the environment and the welfare of its people, there's a real sense of community to be found here. As well as its vast efforts towards ecotourism, being awarded the highest level recognised in Botswana and having Africa's first CO2 emission-free silent electric fleet of 4x4s and safari boats, the lodge is home to a fantastic programme for the empowerment of women with the Chobe Angels the first all-female guiding team in Africa.
In the heart of the world-famous Chobe National Park, this intimate Belmond property sits perched on the banks of the Savute Channel. Following a complete rebuild in 2018, this stylish safari lodge now features new additions that include a luxury spa, stunning firepit, and an elevated viewing hide that overlooks the watering hole adjacent to the lodge. Make the most of this wildlife-rich haven and explore the Chobe area on morning and afternoon game drives with the lodge’s expert guides and trackers. When not out and about on safari, unwind beside the deck pool, explore a nearby baobab grove, or visit the ancient Bushmen paintings that are more than 1500 years old. You’ll feel closer to nature than ever when relaxing in the lodge’s outdoor Boma, an enchanting open-air setting with a nightly campfire.
