Myself and a co-worker journeyed to the Chobe Safari Lodge after a busy week in Botswana's capital. Our room (a family room) was large, clean, and neat. Our check-in was fast, friendly, and easy. We interacted with Connie frequently and think she's the best-of-the-best. Management of the lodge can be proud of her great service. All of our activities were... More

Stayed here with my husband and parents in law, and they were blown away. Its a beautiful lodge, right on the river. The views are stunning, the accommodation is beautiful and very comfortable. The food was delicious, a huge variety every day with interesting game meat to try out too. Make sure you book for an early morning game drive... More

The beautiful facilities,food and excellent friendly service are almost more than the 5 stars allow. The access to the wildlife that includes a walkway and comfortable seating area where you can sip on your favorite drink while watching families of elephants play and cross the river in front of you ( African TV) is truly spectacular. You also have access... More

Marvellous hotel in exotic location. Housekeeping slipshod, had to complain about non-appearance of towels, tea& coffee, bed making etc on 50% of the days there. Having said that - a really wonderful place to stay.

Brilliant location, huge open plan building excellent vistas of Chobe River. Dining evening and breakfast are buffet style, excellent value and huge variety. Rather than the mass crowd booze cruise sunset boat trips we opted for private smaller specialized birding and wildlife boat trip. Our guide KT was gracious and very knowledgeable about bird IDs. This was a highlight of... More

Chobe Safari was the largest establishment that we stayed at on our African odyssey. It is a little like staying at a midsized 4star hotel in Queensland. The food is good, the service and rooms are reasonable but there is of course less attention paid to you than in a smaller establishment. From our brief investigations, this would seem to... More

Looking at other reviews, we were also struck by the surly GG - however the lodge management are excellent and when we complained about the dodgy hot water, fixed it immediately and gave us bottles of wine. The game drives were mixed - outsourced and therefore hit and miss as to how good the guide was. We were lucky with... More

After driving in from Zambia we arrived at the lodge near to 10 AM. We were informed by a very surly young man named GG that our room was not ready and it would be ready on precisely at noon. we killed time and at about 11:30 I asked if the room was ready. I was told NO that it... More

Nice place to stay while in Chobe, it is greatly located. Stayed in rooms that are facing the river, which I must say are big and spacious. There are great views from the restuarant as you relaxed and enjoy a cold drink. Safari trips where good, but just could not wake up very early in the morning for the game... More
