Chobe Safari Lodge is situated on the border of Chobe National Park close to the small town of Kasane, which lies at the northern apex of Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Caprivi. Due to the lodge's proximity to Chobe National Park, you can have a game viewing experience from your balcony.

The luxury rooms have views across the Chobe River and are spacious and stylishly decorated with air-conditioning, en-suite bath and shower facilities, as well as satellite TV and phone. The chalets offer a more affordable and simple style of accommodation and the campsite is well shaded and situated at the far end of the lodge. The central area overlooks the river and features a large family friendly swimming pool, buffet restaurant, bar, curio shop, conference room, internet café, squash, and beauty spa.

The inclusions at the lodge vary and will be indicated on individual itineraries. During their stay guests liaise with the booking office to co-ordinate activities which may include game drives in the Chobe National Park and boat cruises on the Chobe River. In addition, Chobe Safari Lodge offers optional fishing trips and day trips to Victoria Falls or Livingstone which is 80 km away. The lodge is only 3 km from the airport.

Kasane
This property is located in the small but thriving town of Kasane, where many bigger hotels are located along the Chobe River banks. Entry to Chobe National Park for game drives is via Sedudu Gate ten to fifteen minutes drive from town. For Chobe River cruises, boats depart directly from town. Although wildlife often passes through Kasane (most usually warthogs and the odd elephant) a typical bush experience is not on offer here. Instead you’ll get all the comforts of civilization with easy access to the bush.
