Botswana's best heritage stay, Chobe Safari Lodge, has a freshly renovated wing of suites and enhanced activities.
Travellers seeking a classic African safari experience have long looked to Chobe Safari Lodge, which has hosted adventurers for over decades, and has undergone meticulous renovations to deliver an even more elegant and immersive experience.
CHOBE SAFARI LODGE, ESTABLISHED IN 1959
The newly refurbished Safari Rooms pay homage to Chobe Safari Lodge's 60-year history as the first lodging in Kasane and its privileged proximity to the Chobe National Park.
Every generously proportioned room was designed with the utmost attention to detail, featuring elegant furnishings, plush bedding, and spacious bathrooms.
Honouring The Chobe Safari Lodge story
Archival documents and historical photographs celebrate a cherished legacy, striking basketry honours Botswana's local artistry, and gorgeous light spills into the suites reflected off the rippling Chobe River. Classic Zambezi teak furnishings have been revitalised with the environment in mind, and brass and wood seams have been lovingly laid into the floors as a nod to the storied Serondela Sawmill ruins inside the Chobe National Park.
Each Safari Room has a romantic ball-and-claw bath and walk-in shower, plus modern perks such as upgraded air conditioning and plug points, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a coffee machine, and a tranquil verandah to sip it on. The highlight of these rooms remains their spectacular views of the Chobe River and lush grounds.
Enhanced experiences at Chobe Safari Lodge
Extensive upgrades of the Safari Rooms are complemented by enhancements across all activities, for unforgettable wildlife experiences inside the Chobe National Park.
> Passenger numbers have been significantly reduced to a maximum of 35 per double-decker vessel for uncrowded views.
> Several swish private boats seat up to eight and are ideal for groups, families or special interest cruises, such as birdwatching or photography.
> Morning game drives now include sophisticated coffee stops with French press coffee and yummy rusks, plus a blanket and hot water bottle for chilly mornings.
The recent refurbishment is just the first phase of a larger program, with further upgrades due from November 2023 and the management of Chobe Safari Lodge is excited to continue providing guests with a memorable safari experience.
