Chobe Under Canvas

The concept behind Chobe Under Canvas is to combine the advantages of a mobile camping safari with the luxuries of a semi-permanent tented camp. Always based in the Chobe Riverfront area of the Chobe National Park, the camp is packed up every fifth day (in keeping with the national park’s mobile-camping rules) and moved to a new private camping site in the same area.

Our view of Chobe Under Canvas

Although Chobe Under Canvas retains a mobile-camping atmosphere, the tents, service and food are more in keeping with Botswana’s excellent safari lodges. It offers a wonderful wildlife experience and a more economical, and in some ways slightly more adventurous, alternative to many of the country’s other lodges and camps.

If you’re visiting Chobe National Park in combination with private areas elsewhere in Botswana, especially around the Okavango Delta, then we recommend that you start with Chobe, and then move on to the more remote wildlife areas where you will encounter fewer visitors.
