Where to Stay

Chobe Game Lodge

from $1,290 per person per night for 2026/27

Something a little different with great year-round game viewing
Chobe Game Lodge, Lounge Suite, Chobe, Botswana

Located at the end of the run of properties that stretch out along the Chobe water front from Kasane, Chobe Game Lodge has probably the most prestigious heritage of them with famous names such as Elizabeth Taylor staying here in its hey day. Today the property really benefits from being able to avoid some of the main crowds along the frontage and, with good sized rooms and being inside the national park, this is a good choice to see what the Chobe waterfront area has to offer.

Great location away from the crowds

About the location

Set at approximately a 30 minute drive from the main town of Kasane, Chobe Game Lodge is located on a quiet stretch of the Chobe River front, looking directly across to the Namibian floodplains.

This location allows them to make the most of the relatively quiet waters to the west of the property rather than getting stuck up in the much busier waters that are to the east and closer to Kasane.

Do see Parks & Regions on this page.

lodge Layout

All of the rooms have an aspect onto the river and stretch out on either side from the main area which contains the pool, 2 bars and dining areas. In the evening it is possible to wander down to the boma area to see some traditional dancing or to have a sundowner as it sets over the Chobe River.

Considering the size of the property, the layout has a comfortable and intimate feel, in particular the main areas and the bar area at the top of the building which is arguably one of the best in the region!

Do see our new Chobe Game Lodge Picture Gallery further down this page.

Chobe Game Lodge Accomodation

All of the 44 rooms (40 standard rooms and 4 suites with plunge pool) are well appointed and underwent a refurbishment in 2018. Each of them has been refurbished in a subdued manner with the curved ceilings and muted colour palette giving a very earth feel. With an open and spacious outdoor patio to all of them, they offer a good base for explorations of the Chobe!

Wildlife & Activities at Chobe Game Lodge

Being inside of the Chobe National Park definitely benefits the property from having an extra bit of time to explore the park over its rivals and the property has recently pioneered the use of electric powered Landcruisers and boats and so upping its eco-credentials.

As this is the Chobe the main focus is, of course, on the multitude of elephant that come down to the waters’ edge throughout the day, but it is still also possible to head into the park and find all sorts of species that are also drawn here in, in particular, the drier months between April and November.
