Chobe Bakwena Lodge

Set on the tranquil banks of the Chobe River, Bakwena Lodge is an intimate, privately owned eco-lodge that offers an inclusive safari experience in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions.

This exceptional location is renowned for some of the finest game viewing in Botswana, where nature unfolds effortlessly around you.

Chobe National Park is famed for its impressive predator populations and its vast elephant herds—estimated at around 200,000—making every game encounter memorable.

An extraordinary diversity of birdlife further enhances the experience and can be enjoyed from your private deck, while strolling through the lodge grounds, or during expertly guided game drives and boat safaris.

All activities are led by Bakwena’s hand-picked professional guides and focus on both land and water adventures.

Guests can also enjoy a guided village walk or bicycle tour, or embark on a unique boat cruise to the meeting point of four countries—the only place of its kind in the world.

With their deep local knowledge and passion for the area, Bakwena’s guides ensure every stay becomes a true safari highlight.

Sustainability lies at the heart of Bakwena Lodge. Eco-conscious initiatives include a natural swimming pool filtered entirely by plants, responsible building practices, ethical employment policies and carefully considered food choices. The lodge actively supports the local school and community, encouraging meaningful village visits on foot or by bicycle.

Bakwena firmly believes that an African safari is about far more than wildlife and dramatic landscapes—it is the people who bring the experience to life and give Africa its soul.

More than just a safari lodge, Bakwena is a place guests return to time and again, drawn back by its warm hospitality, striking natural setting and the enduring beauty of Chobe.
