Local tip
A sunset cruise on the Chobe River offers a calm complement to a game drive.

Thebe River Safaris is a safari lodge, restaurant and bar at Lease Area 76 in Kasane, positioned for stays and activities around the Chobe area. The venue combines practical lodge accommodation with a relaxed dining space, making it suited to safari travellers, families, campers and visitors looking for a place to eat after time outdoors.

The restaurant and bar have a rustic bush setting with an easygoing social atmosphere. The menu centres on hearty meals and wood-fired pizza, offering a straightforward option for guests returning from a game drive, river outing or longer journey. Cold drinks and a casual dining environment add to the venue’s role as a place to pause between activities or settle in for an evening meal.

Lodge accommodation is arranged around a quiet courtyard and includes twin rooms and a family room. Rooms are en suite and include air-conditioning, refreshment stations and complimentary WiFi. A swimming pool overlooking the Chobe River provides another place for lodge guests to relax between excursions.

Thebe River Safaris also operates experiences that can be arranged alongside a stay or meal. These include game drives in Chobe National Park, sunset cruises on the Chobe River, overnight safaris and day trips to Victoria Falls. Mobile safari options extend across one, two or three days, with budget and semi-luxury formats available. Transfers can be arranged from Kasane Airport and nearby borders, adding practical support for travellers building a Botswana itinerary.

The setting works particularly well for visitors who want accommodation, dining and safari arrangements in one place. The restaurant offers a casual base after a day in the bush, while the lodge provides a choice between private rooms and camping. Families can make use of the dedicated family room, and safari-focused travellers can combine meals and accommodation with guided time in the national park or on the river. The overall character is informal and outdoors-oriented, with comfort kept in view without losing the feel of a Chobe safari stop.
