This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote.

Activities

You're on the Chobe River near the Chobe National Park so you obviously have all that wildlife bounty to enjoy. You can go on boat cruises and game drives and the lodge can help arrange trips for you.

Watch elephants in the river or hippos doing their wallowing thing. Giraffe and antelope come for a drink and you'll no doubt see a predator or two lurking. The lodge has a small boat which is rather like a mobile hide. Good for photography enthusiasts.

As are the game drives. Impala are everywhere and giraffe tend to wander lots too. As do buffalo.

The Kazungula Ferry that crosses the Chobe River into Zambia is a little over 6 miles from the lodge.

If you want to go out out, Victoria Falls day trips are on offer. They're only about an hour's drive away from the Lodge. Stunning, naturally. Lots for adrenaline junkies too. White water rafting, bungee, kayaking and more.

You can also fish, visit a nearby snake park or go to Mowana Golf Course.
