Stayed at the Chobe Game Lodge in 2009. It was ok, not bad, but not 5 star! Stayed again November last year with our staff top achievers, and noticed immediately how much it had improved. Went again in May this year with my wife and, once again, the improvement since November was noticeable. We had a fantastic time all round.... More

The Chobe Game Lodge is an amazing place. This was the 2nd leg of our African safari and was certainly fantastic to have included this in our trip. The accommodation was great and the attention to detail was superb. The previous nights were spent at the Victoria Falls and it was an easy transfer to Chobe by road and was... More

We are all truly delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Chobe Game Lodge. We know Walter well and will be sure to let him know about this kind review. Just to clarify the night safari (afternoon activity) is in fact leaving at 1530 in the winter and returning 1830 (in the summer 1600 – 1900). It means we return... More

I'd simply be repeating what others said if I launched into a detailed review. Suffice it to say we spent 2 nights here in mid May 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect, including the lovely rooms (I agree an upstairs room is a plus), the gorgeous common areas, the internet cafe, the super friendly and helpful staff, the outstanding food,...

Our drive into the Lodge was a thrill, even before check-in, we saw everything from elephants to Sable antelopes and just missed the leopard. Upon check-in we saw the lovely lodge and all its outdoor sitting spaces. The room was comfy, quiet, and the view quite nice. I was standing on the balcony and the landscape staff said they wanted...

You don't come here to wallow in luxury, but to see the amazing number of animals. From the elevated boardwalk at the lodge we could see nearly 100 elephants bathing in the river and at night we watched as a 15-foot (at least!) crocodile slinked through the water. Warthogs are the perfect lawn mowers for the lodge lawns, and birds... More

Yet another bigger smile with this detailed review shared with the Tripadvisor community. It is a beautiful elevated deck we have here (built using mainly recycled materials instead of timber decking). It’s a great spot that inter-connects the river with the lodge, the far end deck is the ultimate area to enjoy the wildlife viewing, we have a good number... More

We were really reluctant to come to the lodge due to its size (we prefer small intimate settings) and some bad comments on here when we were booking.

The only permanent game lodge situated within the famous Chobe National Park, Chobe Game Lodge is Botswana's premier venue for guests looking for a perfect base to explore Chobe National Park and the Chobe River. Chobe's wildlife roams in abundance and diversity and is home to the largest concentration of elephant in Africa.

Sightings of lion, African wild dog, puku, red lechwe, sable, giraffe and roan antelope are frequent reported in the area. Chobe Game Lodge offers a choice of land or water-based activities and the most complete game experience in the Chobe National Park. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are conducted by our expert guides in open sided 4x4 vehicles to ensure maximum visibility of Chobe National Park’s spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife. Meanwhile, riverside game viewing is conducted by small and highly maneuverable boats, perfect for morning or sunset cruises. Chobe Game Lodge has 47 rooms and suites and our extensive facilities include a large swimming pool with adjacent terrace and a grassy riverside boma area where a Marimba band or traditional dancers perform. Broadband internet access is available at the Thwene bar along with a stylish cigar bar with a champion sized billiard table and outside terrace overlooking the Chobe River.
