Welcome to Chobe

Welcome to Chobe

Upon arrival in Kasane, you'll be met at the airport and transferred to Chobe House, where you'll stay in one of our riverside chalets or, for larger groups, our exclusive private villa overlooking the Chobe River. After settling into your room and enjoying a freshly prepared lunch, it's time for your first taste of Botswana's incredible wildlife.

This afternoon, board one of our boats for a sunset safari on the Chobe River. Renowned for its vast elephant herds, hippos, crocodiles and exceptional birdlife, the Chobe River offers one of Africa's finest boat safari experiences. As the afternoon light softens, watch wildlife gather along the riverbanks while enjoying refreshments on board.

Return to Chobe House as the sun sets over the river, where dinner awaits on our unique floating restaurant if you're staying in our chalets. The main house eats on a private terrace. Relax and unwind, knowing that this is just the beginning of an unforgettable Chobe safari.
