Chobe Safari Lodge, Botswana

October 2013


Chobe Safari Lodge is located on the banks of the Chobe River and borders the Chobe National Park. The Lodge is old and overrun by pushy tourists. Having come from Pom Poms which is under the same management we were extremely disappointed. The Lodge comes at a high end price, without being high end.


The rooms are old and tired. The beds were lumpy.


All food is via buffet and repeats itself. The food was poor, but the service friendly.


The pool is located right near the dining area and bar, with great views of the Chobe river and a good place to cool down and watch the sunset.

I would not recommend staying here, you could get much cheaper options, of the same or better quality.

Chobe National Park, Botswana

October 2013


Chobe National Park is located in Northern Botswana and has one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa.


Located on the Chobe River, it is easy to see a diverse range of animals, and water cruises are common, particularly around sunset.





The park is know for its large elephant population, and it is easy to see the damage done to trees in some areas of the park.
