As the oldest 5-star Lodge in the area, and indeed in Botswana, the Lodge occupies an enviable position right inside Chobe National Park, giving guests a launchpad from which to explore the Park at first light. The early bird, as they say, finds the best game.

The main areas are relaxed and comfortably laid out, with two complimentary bars and numerous spots to dine. 

Naturally the focus of the lodge lies with the majestic Chobe River, and the 250 meter boardwalk brings you up close to where the action is. Find a spot along the platform and settle in to watch colours change and the action unfold.

There are forty-four rooms in total, made up of 22 Standard Rooms, 12 Interleading Rooms, 4 Triple Rooms, 1 Family Room, 3 Family Suites and 1 Honeymoon Suite. Each room has a patio with views of the river, (though some are better appointed than others), and is equipped with the modern accoutrements one would find in a hotel: air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, internal phone service, wi-fi, plug points, a hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities and a mini bar. The suites are larger, with a separate lounge and a balcony with a plunge pool. Two of the suites have convenient inter-leading gateways, accessed from the terrace, allowing a group to occupy a suite and a standard room – a great option for families with children, or couples travelling together.

Owing to the location of Chobe Game Lodge inside the Chobe National Park, early-morning game drives set off as soon as the park opens, giving you the best chance of tracking predators while they are still active. The afternoon drives depart the lodge in the late afternoon (the exact time is dependent on the season), only returning at park closure time after sunset, thus maximising the time you spend out in the park to enjoy those special sightings.

No Chobe safari is complete without experiencing the beauty of the Chobe River and its incredible wildlife by boat.
