Our Review

★★★★★

Chobe Safari Lodge enjoys a superb riverside location along the banks of the Chobe River, which is undoubtedly one of its greatest strengths. The setting is lush and scenic, with constant activity on the water and along the riverbanks, creating a classic African safari atmosphere. From the outset, the lodge feels lively and well positioned for wildlife viewing.

The accommodation is comfortable and well maintained, with spacious rooms and private verandas that look out over the river or surrounding gardens. While the style is practical rather than luxurious, the rooms provide a good level of comfort and are well suited to the lodge’s role as a busy safari hub in this popular region.

Activities are a strong point at Chobe Safari Lodge. Boat cruises on the Chobe River are particularly rewarding, offering close-up wildlife sightings and excellent bird-watching opportunities. Guided game drives and other excursions are well organised and of good quality, making it easy for guests to make the most of their time in the area.

The lodge itself is large and typically very busy, especially during peak travel periods. Communal areas such as the restaurant, bar and pool can feel lively and bustling, which some guests will enjoy, while others may find it less peaceful than smaller, more intimate lodges. This is worth considering when choosing the lodge, as it may not suit those seeking solitude or a quiet retreat.

Overall, Chobe Safari Lodge is a lovely property with a fantastic riverside setting and strong activity offering. It represents good value and delivers a reliable safari experience in a prime location. For travellers who enjoy a vibrant atmosphere and a wide range of activities, it is an excellent choice, though those seeking privacy and tranquillity may prefer a smaller lodge.
