Safari is in our soul: A riverfront legacy on the edge of the wild
Steeped in history and perfectly positioned, Chobe Safari Lodge is the premier gateway to northern Botswana’s natural wonders. Located in Kasane, where the borders of four nations meet, the lodge occupies a privileged riverfront position just ten minutes from the world-famous Chobe National Park. The lodge's architecture celebrates the outdoors, with expansive thatched decks and viewing terraces that flow seamlessly toward the water. Guests can spend their afternoons lounging by the swimming pool or enjoying a cocktail at the renowned Sedudu Bar, famously known as the best sunset spot in the region. Wildlife is a constant companion here; resident warthogs and bushbuck roam the lush gardens, while the call of the African Fish Eagle provides a daily soundtrack. Whether you choose a classic river safari on specialized boats or a sunrise game drive into the park, every experience is designed to bring you closer to the largest elephant population on the planet. This is more than a stay; it is a continuation of a decades-long legacy of hospitality in the heart of the wild.

Best time to go to Chobe Safari Lodge
The best time to visit Chobe Safari Lodge is during the dry season, from May to October, when water levels drop and wildlife congregates along the Chobe River, making game viewing spectacular. This period offers cooler, more comfortable temperatures and excellent opportunities to see elephants, hippos, and big cats. The wet season (November to April) brings lush scenery and birdlife but wildlife is more dispersed.
