About Chobe Game Lodge

The only permanent lodge situated inside Chobe National Park, Chobe Game Lodge is a luxury, five-star eco lodge that is highly acclaimed for its eco sustainability credentials. It offers 44 air-conditioned rooms, all of which are river-facing with their own private terraces. There are also four river-view suites with their own plunge pools and lounge areas. 

Decorated to an exceptional standard of luxury throughout, the décor at Chobe Game Lodge is a fusion of African tribal design with wonderful Arabian influences. The main areas are designed to encourage total relaxation and pampering, with six viewing decks, a riverside boma, two bars, six different lounges and four dining venues. There is also a wonderful boardwalk along the river bank. 

This gives you a smorgasbord of choices about where to lay back, unwind and take in the incredible views in between activities. Add to this a large swimming pool and impeccable waiter service! The game-viewing activities are outstanding at Chobe Game Lodge. With either water or land-based safaris on offer, the choice is yours on how to split your time between the magnificent river and this legendary national park.

Early morning and late afternoon drives are on offer, as is riverside game viewing in small and highly manoeuvrable boats, making this a popular cruise option. The lodge's game viewing boats are solar powered to boot!

Chobe is legendary for its huge herds of elephants and buffalo. Indeed, it is home to the largest concentration of elephants in Africa and during the dry season especially these herds are easily found on the wide, fertile floodplains along the river, as well as on islands. This is where you will often see elephants in the water, bathing and playing. 

Lion, painted wolves (African wild dogs), puku, red lechwe, sable, giraffe and roan antelope are also regularly seen. And if you are lucky you may even spot an elusive leopard prowling the rich, riverine forests. The river itself is full of life, from hippo and crocodiles to a rich variety of birdlife, from the beautiful African fish eagle to the yellow-billed stork. 

About Xaro Lodge

This intimate 24-bed lodge's luxurious Meru-style safari tents, each with en-suite bathroom facilities and private decks looking out over the river, are designed to immerse guests in this tropical paradise surrounded by water.

The tents are raised on wooden platforms and have large, sliding glass doors allowing for uninterupted views from the comfort of the bed! Sunrises are spectacular here!

Xaro's communal lounge and dining areas offer a comprehensive library and plenty of space for relaxing with a pair of binoculars and updating your tick list!

Meals are hearty and home-cooked with love and served either in the dining area or outside, under the stars.

This is a birding and photography destination of note, with mostly water-based activities on offer, taking in the unique rivering forests and floodplains where more than 300 species of bird can be seen.
