3 Day Chobe Game Lodge Safari
The Chobe National Park riverfront is quite simply one of the most impressive safari experiences in Africa and Chobe Game Lodge is the best location from which to observe the huge variety of wildlife. Just 90 minutes' road transfer from Victoria Falls, Chobe Game Lodge, built in 1972, was the first lodge of its kind in Botswana and has evolved over the years into the award-winning, fully Ecotourism-Certified luxury property in one of the most sought-after locations in the country.
Chobe Game Lodge Arrival Day
On arrival at Chobe Game Lodge today you will get settled into your room and enjoy lunch (time permitting). This afternoon you will have the opportunity to head out on your first game viewing activity before returning to the lodge for a delicious dinner.
Lunch and Dinner included.
Game Viewing Activities
Enjoy the diversity of the region’s abundant wildlife on guided 4WD game drives and take in the beauty of the famous Chobe River on a boat safari while witnessing massive herds of animals and prolific birdlife along the riverfront. Activities offered at Chobe Game Lodge include morning and afternoon game drives, and mid-morning and late-afternoon boat safaris. Chobe Game Lodge is fully inclusive, so you are welcome to do as little or as much as you please.
GAME DRIVES
Owing to the location of Chobe Game Lodge inside the Chobe National Park, early-morning game drives set off as soon as the park opens, giving you the best chance of tracking predators while they are still active. The afternoon drives depart the lodge in the late afternoon (the exact time is dependent on the season), only returning at park closure time after sunset, thus maximising the time you spend out in the park to enjoy those special sightings. The drives follow the course of the Chobe River as your experienced guide interprets the bush signs and tracks in search of the resident wildlife. Elephant encounters are common and huge herds of buffalo abound. The ever-present impala and the majestic giraffe are both common residents, while sightings of the puku antelope are also on offer. Predators are plentiful in the northern region of the Chobe National Park, and excellent sightings of lion, wild dog and leopard are to be had. The Chobe Game Lodge vehicles are open 4WD game viewers redesigned to make your trip comfortable and your viewing experience astonishing. Included in the fleet are several silent, CO2 emission-free electric vehicles designed to further enhance your Chobe safari.
BOAT SAFARIS
No Chobe safari is complete without experiencing the beauty of the Chobe River and its incredible wildlife by boat. The ‘skimmer boats’ seat up to 12 guests in comfortable, movable deck chairs on a flat and stable platform. The river boats are specifically designed to ensure each passenger can take in the magnificent Chobe views in complete comfort from anywhere on the boat. Owing to the flexibility in seating arrangements and the flat deck, the boats are ideal for keen wildlife photographers, with ample space for equipment and the freedom to photograph from any angle. Unlike any other water-based activity in Botswana, the game viewing while on a river safari in Chobe is unsurpassed anywhere in Botswana. Elephant line the water’s edge, hippo congregate in lagoons, hundreds of antelope and giraffe make their way to the water and sightings of predators along the river banks are common. Together with its fleet of electric land vehicles, Chobe Game Lodge has several electric and solar-powered safari boats – a clean and quiet way to enjoy a boat safari and another first for tourism in Africa.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
