The Lodge

Chobe Chilwero Lodge

Chobe Chilwero Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary lodge, sits on a hilltop on the edge of Chobe National Park, the second largest park in Botswana, with wide views over the Chobe River and the floodplain below.

The main lodge has a lounge, a library and a dining room, all opening onto outdoor viewing patios. There is a split-level pool, and a full-service spa with a treatment room up in the trees.

There are fifteen suites of about 61 square metres, each with a free-standing bath and indoor and outdoor showers. Game drives, river cruises and catch-and-release fishing fill the days, and Victoria Falls is close enough for a day visit.
