Chobe Christmas Party 2024

FESTIVE CHEER AT THE 2024 CHOBE SAFARI LODGE CHRISTMAS PARTY

On a sunlit December morning in Botswana, the spirit of Christmas came alive at Chobe Safari Lodge’s 12th Annual Christmas Party!

This year, we welcomed 140 children and their caregivers for a day filled with joy, generosity, and unforgettable experiences.

The day began with boundless excitement as the children arrived, greeted by 12 Santas — dedicated staff members dressed in bright red suits, embodying the magic of Christmas.

Another highlight was a thrilling boat safari on the iconic Chobe River. Children marvelled at the wildlife, spotting elephants, hippos, and crocodiles along the riverbanks. Then there was a splendid buffet lunch to enjoy under the trees at the Sedudu Bar and Grill, followed by the cheerful tunes of our local Chobe DJs, Shanky Breeze, DJ La Timmy and Keaz Boy.

Ke a leboga to our Chobe community!

 A special thanks to the Chobe Safari Lodge team and the following operators, council and departments for your generosity. 

Thanks to generous sponsors and the Botswana Impact Levy, each child left with a backpack brimming with treats, clothing, school supplies, and toys. Watching their faces light up with joy as they opened their presents was a heartwarming reminder of the true meaning of the season.
