Chobe Safari Lodges

Beautiful room in a beautiful setting. Warthogs and other wildlife on the property. Numerous boat options for spending time on the river. Great buffet with many excellent choices. My favorite lodge during 3 week visit. Would highly recommend this property.

This was the largest lodge we stayed at during our Botswana trip but we were very impressed with the care the staff took of us. Selelo in customer relations quickly realised my mum had some mobility issues and bent over backwards to ensure she could experience everything. Twinkle was a fab waiter. All the trips and safaris took place on time. Animals did seem to be hiding from us in our 3 days there but thats the luck of the draw we still saw a good variety and the guides, especially Lash couldn't have tried harder. Plenty of wildlife always on the boat trips. Food and room was excellent, highly recommended to stay here.

This was such a beautiful experience. The hotel is right up against the river, and if you get a Safari room, your window overlooks the river. the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The dinner that was included was exceptional, as was the breakfast buffet. There are two dining options, one a buffet type outdoor grill option and the main dining hall with a three course meal. One of the pools is under construction at the moment. I loved how animals like warthogs and monkeys roamed the grounds. Excursions were easily accessible. I would just recommend making excursions for solo travelers more affordable. We shouldn't have to pay double. Some tours run with 1 guide to 3 or more guests. It seems that would balance out with those that run 1 guide to 1 guest without having to charge solo travelers double, which most of us can't afford. The safaris and the national park were absolutely amazing, as was the sunset boat cruise. I saw elephants swimming across the river with the babies trunks bobbing across the top of the water! Wat a wonderful experience.

We booked for our parents to stay in a Rondavel, which gives more privacy and overlooks the river. They are accessible from down pathways between the room blocks. Room was well appointed with tea station and mini bar.

A fantastic place to stay, the room was comfortable, clean, powerful shower , comfortable bed and air conditioning worked perfectly. There's a fridge in the room , tea and coffee making facilities. The food was good particularly the breakfast. There's a great bar down by the river , great to watch the sun go down drinking a gin and tonic , be careful crocodiles lurk along the waters edge. Boat trips along the river are worth doing, huge numbers of Elephants, hippos and the bird life is superb.

Great place to relax and get in touch with nature without losing the luxury of a resort like set up. Staff were terrific and accommodating, birdlife around the property is great and loads of animals walking the grounds. Must do.

3 days full of adventures & excitement with wonderful animal live stories - one jeep drive & one boat drive a day are a perfect setup .. rooms extraordinarily nicely furnished, break &!dinner buffet with a great variety of tadty offerings

This is a large lodge set at the Chobe river and offers a fantastic river boat tour, with an exceptional guide. That was the highlight for us, to see the stunning beauty and wildlife of the park (hippos, elephants, Cape buffalo, crocodiles, many beautiful birds). The food was only ok, good servers. Why we can't rank this higher is the lack of privacy we had, with very poor front and activity desk service. We were put in a building where they were rethatching the roof so there were workers everyone, including sitting on on deck in front of our bed, talking loudly in the corridors, etc. This made no sense as this is a big place and it was not busy when we were there. For service: After a long drive we were hungry and it was hot. We were pressured to go to the activity desk, and had to really push back to say 'no, we are hungry and want lunch'. Remember we are on vacation! Then we were pressured to take the boat tour just as a thunder storm (a big one with lightening) was about to break, and told incorrectly by the activity desk staff that more animals are seen in the middle of the day and there are no mosquitos (neither true)! For the morning game tour, we waited in the jeep for 45 minutes (remember this was at 5:45am) for them to sort out the paperwork. So, by the time we left we lost a good part of our drive. The front desk were also not helpful when my tour organiser sent our PCR certificate to be printed and only after a long time of forcing them to look, found it. The final morning, four people were there at check out but only one was supposedly able to help, and they did not tell us when our ride had arrived. If you can find another place, I would advise doing so. But if you are here, just know you need a bit of extra time to deal with the poor management.
