peninsula on the northern bank of the Chobe River, overlooking the
vast floodplains of the Chobe National Park’s Puku Flats. The lodge

River experience. The focal point of the lodge is a thatched open

River and beyond to the Chobe National Park. Chobe Savanna Lodge is
relaxed and informal, set in a classic African Savanna environment
with sweeping vistas surrounding the lodge.

GAME VIEWING/ACTIVITIES
The area
is renowned for its diverse and prolific wildlife including the rare
puku antelope. It is home to large herds of elephant, buffalo and
hippo, as well as concentrations of other wildlife which come down to
the rivers edge to drink, graze and hunt. Unlike other properties,
where scheduled game activities are prioritized, we offer guests the
choice of just taking “time out” or joining in on one of the many
activities offered at the lodge.
- Boat excursions
Guests
have a choice of boat excursions in small maneuverable boats, which
are ideal for close up encounters with wildlife along the rivers edge.
- Fishing
Fishing
(catch & release) for bream or tigerfish is relaxing and
exhilarating at the same time and the surroundings refreshing.
- Cultural Village Visits
Cultural
village visits to one of the surrounding local communities enables
guests to observe the deep-rooted traditional Caprivian life styles of
the local people.
CAPRIVI
STRIP
Caprivi
Strip is a long panhandle enclosed by permanent water and stretching
eastwards from the Kavango River to and along the Zambezi ending at
the border junction of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia called
Kazungula, the place where four countries meet.
This lush savannah area is bounded by the Kwando, Linyanti and Chobe
River system on the southern border with Botswana. From a wildlife and
African travel point of view, it is the Chobe River boundary which is
most renowned for the amazing wildlife experiences it delivers. Almost
70% of the bird species found in Namibia have been recorded in the
Caprivi. A major attraction to this part of the Caprivi is its
elephant population which migrates freely across the Chobe River from
Chobe National Park in neighbouring Botswana. The Chobe elephant
comprise part of what is probably the largest surviving continuous
elephant population remaining on this planet.
