Overview of Chobe Safari Lodge

Chobe Safari Lodge occupies a privileged position on the southern bank of the Chobe River in Kasane, a few minutes’ drive from the national park gate and roughly ten minutes from Kasane Airport.

Location & Setting

The river frontage looks across reedbeds and floodplains where elephants, buffalo and antelope gather, particularly late afternoon. Being in town keeps logistics effortless—handy for shops, ATMs and cross-border transfers—while daily activity schedules still deliver classic big-game encounters. Its location also makes Victoria Falls straightforward to add, typically around 90 minutes away including border formalities. Expect practical convenience paired with authentic riverine safari scenes.

Rooms

The lodge offers 76 units across 46 Luxury Safari Rooms, 22 Luxury River Rooms and 8 Rondavels, plus a serviced campsite. All rooms are en suite and air-conditioned, with tea/coffee facilities and television; many enjoy river views. Luxury River Rooms mirror the comforts of Safari Rooms, and selected units add a kids’ bunk room for families. Historic thatched rondavels sit closest to the river with simple, characterful interiors, fans and a small deck. Interleading options help families spread out, while private terraces invite birding and quiet river watching between activities. Wi-Fi is available in main areas.

Facilities

Central areas are designed for easy river viewing and relaxed downtime: a large pool with loungers, casual bar spaces for sundowners, and multiple dining options ranging from buffet and à la carte to themed evenings. Broad timber decks overlook the river, creating natural vantage points for photography and birding when you are not out on drive or cruise. The activities desk coordinates game drives, boat trips and seasonal fishing, with efficient airport transfers and Victoria Falls excursions arranged on request. The lodge also features the Kwa Maningi Spa for guests needing to relax between activities. The overall experience emphasizes convenience and value without losing the drama of Chobe’s riverfront wildlife, especially at sunset.
