13 top lodges and safari camps in Chobe National Park
Our suggestions here cover both places which are inside Chobe National Park, and those just outside.
In the north of the park, the Chobe Riverfront is a big attraction, and to see this most visitors stay in or around Kasane. There’s just one lodge in the park, the stylish Chobe Game Lodge, the rest are just outside, with some even floating on the water. Further south, the iconic Savuti area is also a draw, with a number of lodges and safari camps there inside the park.

One of our favourites in the area, Muchenje is a small, welcoming lodge at the quieter, western end of the Chobe Riverfront.
