“A calm harbor on the Chobe river, with incredibly delicious food.”

Chobe River Lodge is located on the banks of the Chobe River, right in the heart of Kasane. Not deep in the wilderness, but precisely at the border between city and nature. This is a place to unwind, recharge, and start safaris. After a flight or visit to Victoria Falls, this is a perfect first or last stop. You can hear the water bubbling, see birds in the garden, and on clear days, the river and sky blend together at sunset.

Intimate & comfortable
The lodge has a modest number of rooms: riverview suites, courtyard rooms, and a family room. Each room has air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom, and a veranda with views of the river or the garden. The atmosphere is homely and well-kept – flowers, green plants, calm colors – as if you’re staying with friends who have a sense of the bush.

Safaris at the water’s edge
Although you’re not deep in the bush at this lodge, the safari options are unparalleled:

• Visit to villages via the river (mokoro or boat)
• Game drives in Chobe National Park, especially in the morning and afternoon
• Boat cruises on the Chobe River: see animals drinking like hippos, elephants, birds
• Opportunity to fish, especially for the iconic tigerfish (catch & release)
  

Relaxation moments & comfort
Between safaris, the lodge offers lovely facilities to relax:

• Swimming pool overlooking the river
• Lounge and restaurant both indoors and outdoors
• Intimate bar (“Map Room”) with books, maps, and a view
• Private verandas: watch birds, read a book, enjoy the river

• Perfect as a starting or ending point of your Botswana journey: you don’t have to travel far to see wildlife

“Wake up early for the boat cruise at sunrise, for silence and river life are a perfect blend.”
