Home to the largest concentration of elephants, the Chobe National Park is one of the world’s leading wildlife destinations. The famous Chobe River, which forms the park’s northern boundary, provides a permanent source of water for the region’s high volume of wildlife, making the river an important focal point for safari enthusiasts. Enjoy the diversity of Chobe National Park’s abundant wildlife on guided 4WD game drives and take in the beauty of the river on boat safaris, while witnessing the herds of game and prolific birdlife along the riverbanks. Elephant line the water’s edge, hippo congregate in lagoons, hundreds of antelope and giraffe make their way to the water, and sightings of predators along the river are common. Chobe Game Lodge is also a fully ecotourism-certified safari property. Guests are invited on an Ecotour to witness firsthand the projects underway during a mid-morning back of house ecotour conducted by Albert Ndereki, one of the company’s longest standing employees and ecotourism manager.

CHOBE






Call of the Wild
Owing to the location of Chobe Game Lodge inside the Chobe National Park, early-morning game drives set off as soon as the park opens, giving you the best chance of tracking predators while they are still active. The afternoon drives depart the lodge in the late afternoon, only returning at park closure time after sunset, thus maximizing the time you spend out in the park to enjoy those special sightings. The drives follow the course of the Chobe River as your experienced guide interprets the bush signs and tracks in search of the resident wildlife. Elephant encounters are common and huge herds of buffalo abound. The ever-present impala and the majestic giraffe are both common residents, while sightings of the puku antelope are also on offer. Predators are plentiful in the northern region of the Chobe National Park, and excellent sightings of lion, wild dog and leopard are to be had. The Chobe Game Lodge vehicles are open 4WD game viewers redesigned to make your trip comfortable and your viewing experience astonishing. Included in the fleet are several silent, CO2 emission-free electric vehicles designed to further enhance your Chobe safari.
No Chobe safari is complete without experiencing the beauty of the Chobe River and its incredible wildlife by boat. The ‘skimmer boats’ seat up to 12 guests in comfortable, movable deck chairs on a flat and stable platform. The river boats are specifically designed to ensure each passenger can take in the magnificent Chobe views in complete comfort from anywhere on the vessel. Owing to the flexibility in seating arrangements and the flat deck, the boats are ideal for keen wildlife photographers, with ample space for equipment and the freedom to photograph from any angle. Unlike any other water-based activity in the country, the game viewing while on a river safari in Chobe is unsurpassed anywhere in Botswana. Elephant line the water’s edge, hippo congregate in lagoons, hundreds of antelope and giraffe make their way to the water, and sightings of predators along the riverbanks are common. Chobe Game Lodge has several electric and solar-powered safari boats – a clean and quiet way to enjoy a boat safari and another first for tourism in Africa.

MOREMI GAME RESERVE




Sights and Insights
Early this morning, wake to the sound of the bush and enjoy a refreshing cup of java before setting out on a safari drive across the vast open savannahs and lush forests of the Moremi Game Reserve. Jump aboard your safari vehicle and breathe in the fresh air as your guide starts making their way deep into the reserve. Being located right outside of the national park, Moremi provides you with an exciting opportunity to get off the beaten path and traverse this pristine land, uncovering its secrets and allowing you to follow in the footsteps of predator and prey away from the main roadways. Look out for lions, elephant herds, and hippos, and don’t forget to appreciate the beauty of the variety of resident antelope species. Following this morning’s adventures, you will be returned to your camp for a bit of well-deserved relaxation.
This afternoon, after tea you'll join up with others at the lodge for your afternoon game drive. In the Moremi, one can experience excellent savanna game viewing as well as bird-watching on the lagoons. There are also thickly wooded areas, which are home to the shy, and rare, leopard. To the northeast lies the Chobe National Park which borders the Moremi Game Reserve. You'll be out for a few hours and enjoy a traditional sun-downer before heading back to the lodge.
As part of your stay at Moremi Game Reserve, we’ve included a private bush meal served outdoors in a remote setting. It's a chance to slow down and absorb the safari setting beyond game drives, with nothing separating you from the landscape but open air and the sounds of roaming animals nearby. The timing and setting are confirmed during your stay and may vary based on conditions at the time of your visit.

Your stay at Camp Okavango is inclusive of activities that allow you to immerse yourself in the pristine ecosystem of the Delta. Water-based activities are conducted by experienced professional guides who will expertly navigate through the many meandering, reed-lined waterways. Roam the vast expanses of water from the comfort of a modern motorboat or explore the intricacies of the Okavango Delta the quiet old-fashioned way, in the traditional mokoro. For those wanting to get a little closer to nature, guided bush walks are conducted on a number of the nearby islands, offering an opportunity to track some of the larger land-based species that inhabit this water wilderness. Birding opportunities are outstanding, and anglers may put their skill against bream and tiger fish. Camp Okavango is a water-based camp and game-drive activities, using safari vehicles, are not possible. Guest spending three nights or more at Camp Okavango can enjoy a night on the new Camp Okavango sleep out deck. The open deck offers you the chance to sleep out under the stars and experience the vastness of the Okavango Delta.
Far from the glow of cities and surrounded by vast wilderness, the Okavango Delta offers an extraordinary setting for stargazing. As night falls, the sounds of the bush provide a natural soundtrack while an immense canopy of stars emerges overhead. On clear evenings, the Milky Way can stretch vividly across the African sky, with constellations and shooting stars adding to the experience. Many camps offer the opportunity to enjoy the night sky from an open-air deck, around the campfire, or during a dedicated stargazing experience. Away from artificial light and surrounded by pristine wilderness, spending time beneath the stars is a peaceful and memorable way to experience the Delta after dark.

OKAVANGO





The Mane Attraction
The Okavango Delta is flooded for much of the year and when it is, you can experience serene silence at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro excursion along the narrow Delta channels. Just sit back and relax as you glide through lily ponds on a local dugout canoe; perhaps, get up close and person with a buffalo as it laps water from the river, watch crocodiles sunbathe on the banks, or cruise past a pod of hippos as they lie in a pool. Fish eagles, frogs and fabulous lilies form much of this experience, but more frequently it is the quietness and gentle pace that makes its greatest impression on you after a mokoro morning.
Embark on a walking safari today and experience a whole new side of Botswana. For those wanting to get a little closer to nature, these guided bush walks are conducted on a number of the nearby islands, offering an opportunity to track some of the larger land-based species that inhabit this water wilderness. Professional guides accompany you and teach you about the bush from a different perspective, up close and personal with the environment. A walking safari is the perfect way to awaken your senses where you can touch, feel and smell the African bush and listen to the interesting stories that your guides share with you. Walks allow you to read the news of the night in the smooth sand of the road. Lion, leopard, elephants, genets and even millipedes are all part of the signs, each with their story to tell. A walking safari is about seeing the big and smaller creatures and the various flora in the area.
