Chobe Safari Lodge
BY FAR THE BEST IN THE CHOBE KASANE REGION
Chobe Safari Lodge, on the banks of the Chobe River in Botswana, is the best destination for serious game viewers. Situated in Kasane, Chobe Safari Lodge is close to where the borders of four African countries meet - Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Zambia. If you are planning to visit the Chobe area, the majestic Victoria Falls or the Caprivi region, then Chobe Safari Lodge is the ideal choice of accommodation. Chobe Safari Lodge in Kasane borders on the Chobe National Park, which is part of a water system linked to the Chobe, Linyati and Kwando Rivers. The series of islands, floodplains and lakes ensure an abundance of wildlife. The Park, right next to Chobe Safari Lodge, is home to more than 80 000 elephant as well as huge herds of buffalo. During the dry winter season, the animals move closer to the Chobe River to get water, so you will be able to view large herds of elephant and buffalo. Other game also abounds, including lion, leopard, hippo, crocodile, giraffe, as well as puku, kudu and other antelope. The Kasane International Airport, Victoria International Airport, as well as the Livingstone International Airport are close by, and Chobe Safari Lodge offers daily transfers by road or charter flights to the airports. Chobe Safari Lodge has recently been renovated and it offers superb value for money accommodation in the Chobe area. Accommodation at Chobe Lodge is either in the luxury River Rooms, the new Safari Rooms, the traditional thatched rondavels, as well as the established Chobe Safari Lodge campsite. Diners at Chobe Safari Lodge can choose between the Terrace Restaurant, the Cocktail Bar and the Sedudu Sunset Bar. At the Terrace Restaurant, guests can enjoy a delicious, varied breakfast buffet (English or continental style), as well as sampling indigenous African delicacies. Choose between barbeques, specialist game meats, stir-fries, a selection of mouthwatering vegetarian dishes, as well as Indian cuisine. The Cocktail Bar at Chobe Safari Lodge offers a range of light snacks. Since it is close to one of the Lodge’s two swimming pools, you can eat or enjoy a refreshing drink whilst lazing around the pool. True to its name, the Sedudu Sunset Bar offers spectacular sunset views – the ideal place to unwind with a sundowner. The Bar overlooks the Sedudu Island in the Chobe River. Enjoy the unique experience at Chobe Safari Lodge of dining under the African skies by the light of a hurricane lamp and a thousand stars. Or, if you prefer a little more action, dine on a boat cruise on the Chobe River aboard the Fisheagle II or the Kingfisher II.
