Chobe Savanna Lodge, Eastern Caprivi Strip, Namibia
A Luxury Lodge or Hotel in Namibia
Camp Details
Situated in the Eastern Caprivi, Zambezi Province of Namibia, a narrow strip of country on the northern bank of the Chobe River, Chobe Savanna Lodge overlooks the vast floodplains of the Chobe National Park’s Puku Flats.
The Chobe River is home to large herds of Elephant, Buffalo and Hippo, as well as dense concentrations of other wildlife – including the rare Puku antelope – which come down to the river’s edge to drink and graze.
Chobe Savanna Lodge is set in a classic African Savanna environment of sweeping vistas. The focal point of the lodge is a thatched, open-sided main building that features a 270 degree view over the Chobe River and beyond to the Chobe National Park.
Attractive gardens featuring a secluded swimming pool further enhance the lodge’s enviable location. In addition to the scheduled game-viewing activities, Chobe Savanna Lodge is also a perfect venue for guests to simply take time out to watch the natural world go by in one of the most spectacular settings imaginable.
A private and secluded safari experience is guaranteed as Chobe Savanna Lodge accommodates only twenty six guests in beautifully furnished thatched chalets, each with a private deck, an integrated bedroom and lounge area and en-suite facilities. Every chalet is air-conditioned and has its own complimentary mini bar.
WHY CHOOSE CHOBE SAVANNA LODGE?
- River excursions in small, easily maneuverable boats are ideal for close encounters with the wild visitors to the river’s edge.
- Those wishing to experience some of the local Namibian traditions will enjoy a cultural village visit to one of the surrounding communities, where one can observe the ancient heritage of the local people.
- Birding is also spectacular, ideal for African skimmers, white-crowned lapwing, all three pratincoles, black coucal, large flocks of African openbills and an excellent number of species in the gardens themselves such as brown firefinch, purple-banded sunbird and white-browed coucal
Questions about Chobe Savanna Lodge
What is the advantage of being on the Namibian bank?
You look across at the action rather than sitting in it. The lodge stands on the northern bank of the Chobe River in the Eastern Caprivi and overlooks the Puku Flats floodplains of Chobe National Park, where large herds of elephant, buffalo and hippo come down to drink, along with the rare puku antelope.
Is it a good place for birding?
Unusually good. The river and floodplains bring African skimmers, white-crowned lapwing, all three pratincoles, black coucal and large flocks of African openbills, while the lodge gardens themselves hold species such as brown firefinch, purple-banded sunbird and white-browed coucal, so there is plenty to watch without going anywhere.
How do we get out on the river, and what does it cost?
River excursions use small, easily manoeuvrable boats, which lets you get close to animals at the water's edge, and there are cultural village visits to surrounding communities. Rates are from US$490 per person per night between 6 January and March, US$520 in April, November and over the festive period, and US$660 from May to October.
