Overview
About Chobe Game Lodge
Chobe Game Lodge sits beside the Chobe River inside Chobe National Park, with 44 river-facing rooms and suites. Days combine guided game drives with quiet river safaris aboard solar-electric boats, led by the lodge's all-women guiding team. Between outings, settle onto the riverfront boardwalk, swim in the main pool or relax in one of the lounges. Air-conditioned rooms have private terraces, while the family and honeymoon suites add their own plunge pools. Family rooms and interleading options welcome different travelling groups, and the spa and gym offer time away from the safari routine.
“A strong choice for families and couples wanting both river and vehicle safaris without giving up air-conditioned rooms, a pool and plenty of places to unwind beside the Chobe River.”
