This is a Family Safari at Chobe Game Lodge

The kids are up early in anticipation of their first-ever game drive. Your youngest hasn’t yet reached double digits and is most excited to see a lion—the king of the bush…with a huge mane, of course.

You say a silent prayer to Mother Nature to “please send a lion with a huge mane” your way. And while you’re at it, ask for your teenager to find a passion for anything other than that cell phone.

Nature’s soothing effect stills your mind as you step out onto your private patio, the Chobe Riverfront in full view, before you hear a gentle knock on your door. You open it to a beaming face, coffee in tow for mom and dad, and—to your pleasant surprise—hot chocolates for the children.

Chobe Game Lodge is a treasure trove of surprises, both in the bush and within its walls. Enjoy stunning accommodations, including our spacious Family Suite with a private plunge pool, exquisite cuisine served in breathtaking locations, and, most importantly, a phenomenal team dedicated to making your experience unforgettable.

Morning brews still warm in your bellies, you make your way towards the main area for your first of two safaris today. This morning, it’s a game drive and this evening, after that massage you scheduled in, a sunset boat safari—both vessels powered by green energy.

You’re intercepted by one of our Chobe Angels—our iconic all-women guiding team. Another special surprise as you introduce yourself and quietly smile as she somehow manages to capture the attention of your eldest with her witty personality. She is a mom, you learn, which is an added superpower in her arsenal of impressive skills.

It’s only day one of your December school break at Chobe Game Lodge but, as you drive deeper into this spectacular ecosystem, your family completely engaged and nature all around you, you feel as though you’re able to take a deep breath and completely unwind. Just then, out of the thicket emerges a majestic male lion, the very sight your little one has been eagerly awaiting. You all pause in awe, taking in the beauty as your guide excitedly exchanges fun facts about lions in Chobe.

And, just when your little one asks, “What’s for dinner,” your guide jumps in to explain this evening’s themed meal—a wonderful blend of flavour and authentic entertainment. With that, you well and truly succumb to the tranquillity of the bush, knowing that at Chobe Game Lodge, everything is considered and delivered expertly.
