Chobe Safari Lodges

A nice location with great rooms and plenty of local wildlife. Stay away from the Buffet as my wife and another person from our small group suffered sever food poisoning resulting in my wife having to be rushed to the 24 hour medical center for extensive treatment. High praise for the customer service manager Selalo ( I hope is spelt this correctly) she stayed with us the entire time at the medical center providing comfort and support. The facility driver was also fantastic.

We have recently returned from a Safari holiday in Zimbabwe & Botswana. Our stay at the Chobe Safari Lodge will be one to remember... it was fab!

The lodge features a main building with a soaring entryway and open-air galleries. The lobby is bright and breezy (welcome in the Botswana heat) featuring beautiful artwork and sculptures, a large restaurant, small gift shop and seating areas, overlooking the swimming pool. The lodge is on the banks of the Chobe River, with a variety of room options in numerous buildings scattered throughout the grounds. We chose a River View Room on the second floor - while the view of the river is obscured by the trees, we were highly entertained by the wildlife viewing - a resident group of warthogs frolicking in their mudhole and lots of vervet monkeys and baboons (heed the warning on the balcony doors - keep them locked to keep primates out!) The open plan rooms are spacious and full of historical artifacts, plus a towel twisted into an welcoming elephant on your bed to greet you. The lobby restaurant is great for all meals, but the buffet (dinner only) and Sedudu Bar near the dock (lunch and snacks) are equally good). Hint - there is a larger and better-priced gift shop near the eagle statue that welcomes you at the hotel drive entry than the lobby gift shop. Game drives and wildlife-viewing river cruises leave from the docks on the property. Tesh (at the activities desk) was especially helpful in planning our outings - and request Tsogo as your guide on the cruises (he's the best). The wildlife viewing on the river and Sedudu Island is amazing (especially in the evening if you are able to catch an elephant crossing - wow! A fabulous experience.
