Chobe Game Lodge

Sit down. Something will come past. It usually does.

Chobe Game Lodge is inside Chobe National Park, which is the first thing to know and, for many people, the only thing they need to know. What the lodge does with that position is the second thing. It has built itself around places to sit: expansive viewing decks, a private jetty and a comfortable lounge along the boardwalk, none of them ever far from wherever you happen to be.

Each offers a slightly different perspective on the wilderness outside, and the difference matters. From a deck, Chobe is a wide view. From the jetty, it is the water and whatever is using it. From the boardwalk lounge, it is the bush at close quarters with a drink in hand. Between game drives, a guest could work through all three and call it an afternoon well spent.

Chobe can be busy in the best sense; the lodge is where the busyness stops.

The lodge describes itself as a haven of peace and tranquillity, and in a national park those are not idle words. Chobe can be busy in the best sense; the lodge is where the busyness stops.

Sit down. Something will come past. It usually does.
