Chobe River Lodge
Botswana
At a glance
Chobe River Lodge is a small riverside lodge at 714 President Ave in Kasane, Botswana, with direct access to the Chobe Game Reserve by vehicle or boat. Its setting places wildlife activities close to the property while retaining the feel of a private base beside the river.
The lodge has 12 rooms arranged across riverview suites, a family room and courtyard rooms. Riverview accommodation is available as double or twin rooms, with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi. The family room combines a king bed with two single beds, while selected courtyard rooms include sleeper couches for children sharing with parents.
Shared spaces include generous indoor and outdoor seating, landscaped gardens and a rim-flow pool overlooking the Chobe River. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, with personal attention and a layout suited to travellers who value a smaller property rather than a large resort. Courtyard rooms open towards a spacious central area with additional seating, while riverview rooms provide a closer connection to the water.
The lodge restaurant serves meals on site, with dining also available beside the Chobe River. Sunset dinners form part of the lodge experience, pairing an evening meal with the river setting. The restaurant and outdoor areas suit quiet breakfasts, relaxed daytime meals and unhurried evening dining, although the offering is centred on the lodge rather than a broad restaurant scene.
Wildlife-focused activities include game drives and boat cruises, giving visitors two ways to explore the Chobe area. The lodge also arranges massages, transfers and day trips to Victoria Falls. Longer mobile safari journeys can be organised across Chobe, Savuti, Linyanti, Khwai, Moremi and Nxai Pan for travellers planning a wider Botswana itinerary.
Chobe River Lodge suits couples, families and safari travellers looking for riverfront accommodation with meals and activities available in one place. The combination of a compact scale, outdoor seating, pool, river access and nearby game viewing makes it a practical base for exploring Kasane and the surrounding wildlife areas.
