On arrival at Kasane, you are met by the lodge staff for the short transfer back to the lodge.
Chobe Game Lodge is an established luxury game lodge of attractive Moorish architecture. It has a superb location - the only permanent lodge within the Chobe National Park. The lodge and attractive pool surrounded by gardens overlooks the perennial Chobe river and Caprivi floodplain. The 46 twin en suite rooms and four suites, with private plunge pools and sun decks, are supremely comfortable and cooled by overhead fans and air-conditioning. A complimentary minibar is provided for your comfort. Other facilities at the lodge include a well-stocked library, discrete business center for guests who need to keep in touch, a stylish bar and restaurant with terrace overlooking the Chobe River. Unsurpassed wildlife opportunities are offers with guided game-viewing either by vehicle, boat or on foot. Game-viewing on the river is by small shallow and highly maneuverable boats piloted by expert boatmen. You can also enjoy canoeing and sunset riverboat cruises. Star gazing is available from the rooftop of the lodge and talks on the stars are given on request.
On arrival at Chobe Game Lodge you usually have time for lunch and relaxation in the heat of the day prior to your first afternoon game drive into the superb Chobe Game Reserve. The pattern for safaris is to take game drives with your ranger in the early morning. This is the time when animals are most likely to be seen. In the afternoon, you usually enjoy boat-based game-viewing on the Chobe River. During your stay, the evening meal is often enjoyed in an open enclosure or 'boma', around an open fire, which many guests feel is a particularly evocative treat.

No Chobe safari is complete without experiencing the beauty of the Chobe River and its incredible wildlife by boat.
The riverboats are specifically designed to ensure each passenger can take in the magnificent Chobe views in complete comfort from anywhere on the boat. Owing to the flexibility in seating arrangements and the flat deck, the boats are ideal for keen wildlife photographers, with ample space for equipment and the freedom to photograph from any angle.
Unlike any other water-based activity in Botswana, the game viewing while on a river safari in Chobe is unsurpassed anywhere in Botswana. Elephants line the water’s edge, hippo congregate in lagoons, hundreds of antelope and giraffe make their way to the water and sightings of predators along the river banks are common.
All of the boats at Chobe Game Lodge are solar-electric powered boats – a clean and quiet way to enjoy a boat safari and another first for tourism in Africa.
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.
The drives follow the course of the Chobe River as your experienced guide interprets the bush signs and tracks in search of the resident wildlife. Elephant encounters are common and huge herds of buffalo abound. The ever-present impala and the majestic giraffe are both common residents, while sightings of the puku antelope are also on offer. Predators are plentiful in the northern region of the Chobe National Park, and excellent sightings of lion, wild dog and leopard are to be had.
The Chobe Game Lodge vehicles are open 4WD game viewers redesigned to make your trip comfortable and your viewing experience astonishing. Included in the fleet are several silent, CO2 emission-free electric vehicles designed to further enhance your Chobe safari.
Birding is spectacular with Schalows turaco, barred owlet and white-browed coucal resident in the gardens as well as rosythroated longclaw, western-banded snake-eagle and hooded vulture among a few of the 450 species of the Chobe region.
