Reasons To
Visit Botswana

  • Wetlands of the Okavango

    The Okavango Delta is a labyrinth of waterways linking secret lagoons and marshlands, where hippo splash in the water and elephants drink at the shallows. Boat trips take you to inaccessible locations and hidden islands for a glorious spot of solitude and wildlife spotting, before a relaxing sundowner drink amongst the reeds.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    On a game drive in the Delta, Linyanti or Chobe, you soon discover Botswana’s phenomenal array of wildlife. Lions are often on the prowl in the morning while night drives increase your chances of spotting leopard and other nocturnal species. As well as the cats there are thriving populations of elephant, hippo, giraffe, buffalo and even wild dog.

  • Birds

    From the water birds of the Delta to the sand grouse of the Kalahari and flamingos on the Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana is a twitcher’s paradise. Rare species like the Pel’s fishing owl, and African pygmy goose are commonly found, with a trip to Chobe, the Delta and the Kalahari offering an unrivalled level of ornithological interest.

  • Bushmen

    Bushman history is an intrinsic element in the evolution of humanity, and nowhere is this more apparent than in Botswana. Bushman communities have survived on the Makgadikgadi Pans and in areas of western Botswana for centuries. A visit there now allows you to interact with them, experiencing first hand how they cook, hunt, eat and live.

  • Mokoro Trips

    Slipping through the Delta's mazy waterways and tall papyrus in a mokoro is the most relaxing way to view game. Serenely moving along with only the gurgle of the water passing under your craft, you encounter lechwe grazing in the shallows, kingfishers perched on overhanging branches and crocodiles lurking in dark corners.

  • Salt Pans

    On the Makgadikgadi Pans you experience an ethereal lunar landscape unlike anywhere else in Africa. It is possible to see the curvature of the earth, sleep out under the stars, and at some times of the year watch a great wildlife migration. Although more thickly vegetated, Nxai and Tau Pans also offer unique landscapes and habitats.

Chobe Safari Lodge

Chobe National Park

Chobe Safari Lodge is situated on the banks of the Chobe River, on the far side of Kasane, beyond the main town area.

The lodge lies within lush, peaceful grounds and consists of a variety of room types, surrounding the main lodge area which has just been renovated.

The main lodge itself is a large thatched, open sided dining area with a new bar and lounge area. The restaurant offers a menu of original dishes from across Africa. On the lower level is a new swimming pool and terrace which leads down to the boating station, with views across the river to Namibia.

Accommodation is either in simple stand alone en-suite rondavels or the more luxurious River and Safari Rooms, which are more in the mould of modern hotel rooms, in separate two tier blocks. The River Rooms are comfortable with minimalist design and slight ethnic undertones, en-suite with a shower over the baths. The Safari Rooms are more spacious and have an open plan bathroom, with a separate shower and bath behind the bedroom area. The rooms are airy and have balconies looking down to the gardens below, but also offer modern touches such as air conditioning and a TV.

The main activities are boat cruises up and down the Chobe, where you enter the National Park and view the game from either a small cruise boat or a large one fitting up to forty plus guests. The boat trips can be taken throughout the day and it is also possible to enjoy game drives with a guide into the National Park, with the northern gate just minutes away from Kasane.
