Your dining experience

From the riverside boma and dining terrace area to the many boardwalk locations and open-air patio – every mealtime at Chobe Game Lodge is different and an opportunity to reflect on the day’s activities while connecting with friends and family in a warm and tranquil setting.

The day starts at dawn, with an early light breakfast and fresh tea or coffee before your morning safari followed by a full breakfast/brunch on your return to the lodge.

Lunch is served anytime from 12:30 onwards and high tea is served on the boardwalk before the start of the afternoon’s activity. Dinner ranges from a delectable stir-fry evening to a mouth-watering three-course a la carte menu.

The Chobe Team

Arriving at Chobe Game Lodge feels more like joining a family than being merely a guest in a lodge. The dedicated team will welcome you as you enter and be there with a smile to ensure that every moment of your stay in Chobe is a special one.

One of the main Chobe Game Lodge projects is providing opportunities for young people from our local community to join the experienced, trained staff through a Youth Trainee Development project.

Another key focus is gender equality and creating better employment opportunities for women in the Botswana tourism industry. Since 2005 Chobe Game Lodge has been training women in the guiding fraternity and today has a full complement of professionally trained female guides.

Their energy and passion – accompanied by big smiles – are evident wherever you are around the lodge.

Disabled room facilities

Chobe Game Lodge has catered for many travellers with disabilities. Accessibility has been considered across much of the new developments with wheelchair access between the restaurant, terrace lounge, boardwalk & deck and the riverside boma dining area.

There are two fully accessible rooms with improved wheelchair access to the game-drive and boat jetty entrance for safaris.

Please feel welcome to get in touch for more questions about accessibility at Chobe Game Lodge and travelling with a wheelchair on safari in Botswana.

Conference Facilities

At Chobe Game Lodge we have experience of running everything from intimate corporate retreats or family reunions to large company incentives with exclusive use of the lodge.

There are private dining locations for small to large groups along the boardwalks and deck areas over the river and the riverside boma with cultural entertainment makes for an ideal finale to a corporate getaway.

A history of the lodge

Built back in 1972, Chobe Game Lodge was the first 5 star safari lodge of its kind in Botswana and the first, and only lodge to be built inside the Chobe National Park along the Chobe riverfront.

Later in 1975, regular celebrity guests Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton decided to tie the knot (for the second time) at Chobe Game Lodge which catapulted the lodge and region into the international limelight.

Today, Chobe Game Lodge continues to lead the way in the African tourism industry offering travellers the opportunity to experience one of Africa’s top wildlife destinations, only now from a premier game lodge with its roots firmly set in strong responsible and sustainable tourism initiatives.
