Chobe House

Chobe House is a private, villa-style safari lodge on the banks of the Chobe River in Kasane, Botswana. The setting combines a residential feel with access to the wildlife experiences associated with the Chobe National Park, making it suited to travellers who prefer a relaxed base rather than a formal, large-scale lodge atmosphere.

The accommodation is arranged around a main house and separate Pukka Chalets. The main house is designed for larger groups, including families and friends travelling together, while the chalets offer a more individual stay for couples or smaller parties. The overall style is personal and informal, with the lodge set up to give groups a degree of independence alongside a fully staffed service.

Chobe House operates on an all-inclusive basis, with food included as part of the stay. Dining is presented as an important part of the experience, with breakfast available at the property and dinner also associated with the houseboat setting. The atmosphere is suited to slow meals, time by the river and conversations after a day in the bush rather than to a conventional restaurant visit.

Safari activities are central to the character of the lodge. Boat cruises on the Chobe River provide a water-level view of the area, with opportunities to look for elephants, hippos, crocodiles and other river wildlife. Guided game drives in Chobe National Park offer a different perspective, focusing on the park's broader wildlife and the predators found there. Professional guides lead the activities, which can be arranged around the pace and interests of each group.

For a more immersive overnight experience, Chobe House also offers camping in the bush. The experience includes luxury tented accommodation, hosted meals beneath the night sky and the sounds of nocturnal wildlife. It adds a more direct connection with the bush while retaining support from the lodge team.

The lodge works particularly well for groups seeking a private base with safari activities, included dining and a choice between river, vehicle and bush experiences. Its riverbank position, home-style layout and flexible approach give Chobe House a calm character between excursions.
