Chobe Game Lodge

Destination

Chobe

There is a place where elephants, lured by the season, concentrate in large herds creating dust and scenes from a time of our dreams. Situated on the Chobe River in the North Eastern corner of Botswana's Chobe National Park, and twenty kilometers upstream from the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi rivers is a place where the dust speaks of an ancient time, a time when the scent of the dust meant survival or death. And Chobe Game Lodge is part of this place. Chobe's wildlife roams in profusion and diversity. It is home to the largest concentration of Elephant in Africa and during the dry season the herds congregate along the fertile flood plains of the Chobe River. Large herds of Buffalo also concentrate on the floodplains during the dry season. Other major species such as Lion, Wild Dog, Puku, Red Lechwe, Sable and Roan Antelope are encountered in many areas of the reserve.
