Chobe Game Lodge - Chobe Accommodation -
Chobe National Park - Chobe Lodges
There
is a place where elephants, lured by the
season, concentrate in large herds creating
dust and scenes from a time of our dreams.
Chobe Game Lodge
Situated on the
Chobe
River in the North Eastern corner of
Botswana's
Chobe
National Park, and twenty kilometers
upstream from the confluence of the Chobe
and Zambezi rivers is a place where the dust
speaks of an ancient time, a time when the
scent of the dust meant survival or death...
and
Chobe
Game Lodge is part of this place.
A Wildlife Paradise
Chobe's wildlife roams in profusion and
diversity. It is home to the largest
concentration of Elephant in Africa
and during the dry season the herds
congregate along the fertile flood plains of
the Chobe River. Large herds of Buffalo
also concentrate on the floodplains during
the dry season. Other major species such as
Lion, Wild Dog, Puku, Red Lechwe, Sable
and Roan Antelope are encountered in
many areas of the reserve.
This 48 roomed lodge overlooks the
Chobe River and Caprivi floodplains.
The architecture is Moorish and
graceful - high arches, barrel-vault
ceilings and tiled floors creating an
atmosphere of spaciousness and tranquillity.
All 48 rooms are tastefully furnished, each
room with hand crafted Rhodesian teak
furniture and walls decorated with original
African carvings and paintings.
Chobe Game Lodge has 4 luxury suites,
each with a private swimming pool set on
a secluded terrace with breathtaking
panoramic views of the open plains. The
Lodge can accommodate up to 100 people in
total luxury and caters for children of
all ages. Children under the age of 8
years however, are excluded from
participating in game drives.
Facilities within the lodge include a
well-stocked curio shop, wildlife reference
library and a stylish Tshwene bar
with full-sized Victorian pool tables
overlooking the floodplains. The Chobe Game
Lodges boma (outdoor eating area enclosed by
reed walls) is situated under large
Mahogany trees on the banks of the Chobe
River. Like the rooms, the boma has been
furnished in teak and leather.
Other
facilities include a large swimming pool
with a terrace, a riverside boma area where
traditional dancers perform, a fully
equipped conference room, a
business centre, a stylish bar with an
outside terrace overlooking the Chobe River
and a cigar bar with a full sized billiard
table. Meals are catered for at the
terrace restaurant overlooking the Chobe
River.
