ACTIVITIES AT Chobe Safari Lodge
Game Drives in Chobe National Park
Morning and afternoon game drives take guests into Chobe National Park, where they can expect to see large herds of elephants, buffalo, and a variety of antelope species, along with lions, leopards, and hyenas. The park is known for its dense wildlife concentrations, particularly along the riverfront, where animals come to drink during the dry season.
Boat Cruises on the Chobe River
The lodge’s signature activity is its boat cruise along the Chobe River. This experience allows for close views of elephants bathing, hippos, crocodiles, and prolific birdlife. Cruises often provide excellent photographic opportunities, especially at sunset when the river glows in golden light.
Fishing Trips
Guided fishing excursions target species such as tigerfish and bream, with both half day and full day options available. The lodge provides equipment, and trips can be tailored for beginners or experienced anglers. Fishing is seasonal and dependent on water levels.
Birdwatching
The Chobe River region is a prime birding destination, with over 450 recorded species. Guests can spot African fish eagles, kingfishers, bee-eaters, and carmine bee-eaters during their seasonal nesting. Birding can be done from the lodge grounds, on boat cruises, or during drives.
