Best Lodges in Chobe National Park: Where to Stay

What Are the Best Lodges and Camps in Chobe National Park?

The best lodges in Chobe National Park fall into two categories: properties in Kasane town on the park’s northern boundary (with direct Chobe River access for boat safaris), and remote fly-in camps deep within the park’s interior (Savuti, Linyanti). Both offer exceptional but different experiences — riverside camps for elephants and boat safaris; interior camps for lions, leopards, and wild dog in the Savuti marshes and Linyanti system.

Chobe Riverfront Lodges (Kasane Area)

Chobe Game Lodge

The only lodge with a private concession inside Chobe National Park on the riverfront. Originally built for Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s second wedding in 1975. 47 rooms, private beach, pool, and the park’s most famous boat safari programme. Rates approximately USD 600–900 per person per night all-inclusive.

Chobe Chilwero (andBeyond)

15 luxurious cottages on a hilltop overlooking the Chobe River floodplain. Infinity pool with river views, exceptional service, and direct access to both Chobe National Park game drives and boat safaris. Rates approximately USD 900–1,400 per person per night.

Belmond Savute Safari Lodge

Set within Chobe National Park in the Savuti area — historically famous for dramatic lion-elephant interactions. 12 timber and canvas chalets built around a waterhole. Private national park concession with exclusive game drive access. Rates approximately USD 1,200–1,800 per person per night.

Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero

Perched above the Chobe floodplain with 15 cottages. Full-day access to the park with morning game drives and afternoon boat safaris. Highly regarded service and food. USD 800–1,200 per person per night.

Remote Interior Camps

Savuti Camp (andBeyond)

In the Savuti area of southern Chobe — one of Africa’s most dramatic big cat destinations. The Savuti Channel and its associated marshes support exceptional lion concentrations that have been documented hunting elephants. Wild dog packs are regularly seen. USD 1,400–2,000 per person per night.

Linyanti Bush Camp (Wilderness Safaris)

On the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve adjacent to Chobe’s western boundary. Exceptional for leopard, lion, and wild dog. The Linyanti channel system is stunning in both dry and wet seasons. USD 1,500–2,200 per person per night.
