Chobe National Park, Botswana

Chobe Chilwero

Chobe Chilwero is without question the nicest property in Kasane. The fatal flaw is paying 5-star prices for a lodge in an area crowded with other tourists. Unless you are looking for the best of the best, your money can be better spent somewhere else.

The game drives are plagued by there being only 1 entrance for all vehicles to enter and depart Chobe NP, so the crowds are inherent. The afternoon boat cruise is worth the trip and a highlight to many Botswana safaris.  — Mango's view

Set on the boundary of Chobe National Park lays Chobe Chilwero Lodge. With gorgeous, breathtaking vistas as a backdrop, you'll come face-to-face with the abundant creatures of the bush, and some of the most spectacular sunsets Mother Nature bestows.

You will enjoy creature comforts - elegantly appointed accommodations, silver service, gourmet meals and fine wines. Relax in the luxurious thatched cottages, with en-suite, sunken handcrafted baths, indoor and outdoor showers, private gardens and terraces overlooking the magnificent Chobe River.

Game activities at Chobe Chilwero are scheduled flexibly, according to the whims of guests and the changing habits of the game. Guided game drives in open vehicles bring you to the heart of Africa's largest concentration of elephants, as well as hippos, buffalos, puku, antelopes, lions and other creatures that gather on the Chobe River's banks. Or join their acclaimed guides on a wondrous water safari.

End each day with a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, followed by a sumptuous meal prepared by the expert culinary staff - a delicious, eclectic fusion of Western and African cuisine and delicacies - topped off by a sampling of vintage wines and spirits. It's the perfect complement to your one-of-a-kind African adventure. High teas are often served on the lawn under the shade of the trees.

Superlative game viewing and silver service may now be combined with the ultimate in pampering: in-room spa treatments. Therapies range from a Clarins Ultimate Firming Facial to a Full Body Swedish Massage, to relax and invigorate in true African style.
