Chobe Chilwero, Chobe National Park, Botswana

Luxury safari lodge overlooking the Chobe River and flood plains

Available as part of your tailor-made adventures in the region, designed by our destination specialists especially for you

With commanding views of the Chobe River at the northern tip of one of Botswana's most famous National Parks, home to perhaps Africa's greatest concentration of elephant, Chobe Chilwero combines luxury and elegance and is an ideal option to start or end your holiday in Botswana. It also benefits from being within easy striking distance of the majestic Victoria Falls.

Accommodation

All 14 guest cottages have been individually designed to fit in with their topography and vegetation. Each is finished with mosaic floors, traditional fabrics and fitted with air-conditioning as well as ceiling fans. There is one honeymoon suite complete with private plunge pool and a private vehicle for all game viewing activities. Outside there is a shower, seating area and hammock set within a private secluded garden. The bathrooms are luxurious with a separate shower and beautiful Victorian style baths - the perfect place to relax after a busy day game viewing in the Chobe National Park.

Activities & Experiences

Game drives with expert guides take place every morning and afternoon in open sided 4WD vehicles. Sunset cruises on the Chobe River are particularly spectacular viewed from the double deck photographic safari boat with 360 degree swivel seats complete with a bar on the lower deck. Birding safaris, fishing expeditions and exploring the endless tributaries of this mighty river are all highlights.

Facilities & Services

Relax by the swimming pool after your morning game drive or treat yourself to some blissful pampering in the spa where you'll find an indoor spa bath, Vichy showers, hydrotherapy, plunge pool, relaxation area and private treatment rooms - one of which is elevated in the treetops. Cuisine is taken seriously here and a large variety of superior wines, specially selected by experts, are stored in the lodge's own temperature-controlled wine cellar.
