Chobe Savanna Lodge

The Chobe Riverfront

Situated in the Eastern Caprivi, Zambezi Province of Namibia, a narrow strip of country on the northern bank of the Chobe River, Chobe Savanna Lodge overlooks the vast floodplains of the Chobe National Park’s Puku Flats. The Chobe River is home to large herds of Elephant, Buffalo and Hippo, as well as dense concentrations of other wildlife – including the rare Puku antelope – which come down to the river’s edge to drink and graze.

MOTORISED BOAT SAFARIS	River excursions in small, easily manoeuvrable boats are ideal for close encounters with the wild visitors to the river’s edge, in hard-bottom aluminum boats. The boats are equipped with comfortable seats, a foldaway canvas roof and life jackets.
FISHING	Fishing is also a popular pastime; our catch-and-release fishing trips for Bream or Tiger fish (seasonal).
BIRD WATCHING	Bird watching and photographic safaris are ideal from Chobe Savanna Lodge (please contact us to arrange special packages).
CULTURAL EXCURSIONS	Those wishing to experience some of the local Namibian traditions will enjoy a cultural village visit to one of the surrounding communities.

Attractive gardens featuring a secluded swimming pool further enhance the lodge’s enviable location. In addition to the scheduled game-viewing activities, Chobe Savanna Lodge is also a perfect venue for guests to simply take time out to watch the natural world go by in one of the most spectacular settings imaginable.

A private and secluded safari experience is guaranteed as Chobe Savanna Lodge accommodates only twenty six guests in beautifully furnished thatched chalets, each with a private deck, an integrated bedroom and lounge area and en-suite facilities. Every chalet is air-conditioned and has its own complimentary mini bar.
