Activities / Wildlife:

The wildlife roams in profusion and diversity. The elephant population, estimated to number in excess 30,000, is the largest single concentration in Africa surviving within the confines of a proclaimed National Park. During the harsh season, the herds migrate south to north and congregate along the perennial Chobe River fertile flood plains. Other major species such as lion, square-lipped rhino, wild dog, sable and roan antelope are encountered in many areas of the reserve.

Out on the open plains of Savuti and Mababe, wildebeest, zebra and buffalo concentrate in massive endless herds. The red lechwe and puku antelope co-exist on the floodplain and marshland and indeed Chobe is the southern limit of range of both these unique species. Within the riverine thickets, the nocturnal leopard and rare Chobe bushbuck are often observed and the birdlife is abundant and diverse with in excess of 450 species recorded.

The beginning, or the end of your day, often starts on the Chobe River. Here, with some luck, you may be watching a herd of buffalo or elephants, as the sun sinks, with a cocktail in hand and nibbling freshly roasted assorted nuts. Game activities are done by open 4x4 custom made game viewing vehicles & motor boats. Optional activities include mokoro trips on the Chobe River, sightseeing in Victoria Falls and Hot Air Ballooning over Namibia.

Things only get better when you return to the lodge, where sherry and candle light await you in the privacy of your room. Pre-dinner snacks and a 4-course meal, followed by a platter of specially prepared cheese & biscuits will be for you’re eating pleasure. It is really "tough" in Africa! Let Chobe Chilwero pamper you in a way that only we know how.
