Chobe Game Lodge had all the attributes you desire in a game lodge...great accommodations, great food, great service and then the best in game viewing in the fabulous reserve. Only animal not seen is the 'Rhino' as they are really trying to stop poaching and preserve them in other areas and eventually will be able to have them in the... More

Chobe Game Lodge is located within the Chobe Game preserve. You have to drive through the preserve to get to the lodge. The lodge itself over looks the Chobe River. Across the river you will see Namibia. From the boardwalk (about 200 meters in length) you will see many birds and animals while enjoying a cocktail or two. They offer... More

A delightful experience was enjoyed here. From the moment that we saw a leopard within one minute of our first game drive the animal and bird viewing was outstanding. Having been to several game parks in Africa this is certainly amongst the best. The staff and guides couldn't have done more for us, and helped to make it a memorable... More

What a lovely experience. Chobe is elephant central and as we were to find out, giraffe central as well. The lodge is an older property but well maintained with a fabulous aspect over the river and flood plains. The new elevated boardwalk is a great addition and gives some nice viewing opportunities. The Chobe team are just great, front of... More

Aside from what has already been written, my experience at Chobe was fully enhanced by the staff. Johan and Maggie are the most visible, but spending time with some of the others more fully enhanced my time.

Chobe Game Lodge is the only hotel located within the National park. This makes it convenient for safaris since you just drive off the hotel grounds and start your safari... no need to transport to the park first!

Chobe Game Lodge offers a choice of land or water-based activities and the most complete game experience in the Chobe National Park. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are conducted by our expert guides in open sided 4x4 vehicles to ensure maximum visibility of Chobe National Park’s spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife. Meanwhile, riverside game viewing is conducted by small and highly maneuverable boats, perfect for morning or sunset cruises. Chobe Game Lodge has 47 rooms and suites and our extensive facilities include a large swimming pool with adjacent terrace and a grassy riverside boma area where a Marimba band or traditional dancers perform. Broadband internet access is available at the Thwene bar along with a stylish cigar bar with a champion sized billiard table and outside terrace overlooking the Chobe River.
