Chobe Game Lodge sets the benchmark for eco-friendly safaris in Botswana, being the only lodge in northern Botswana to offer electric game-drive vehicles and electric safari boats. Nearly half of the lodge’s fleet consists of silent, emission-free electric 4×4 vehicles, allowing guests to enjoy the natural sounds of the African bush—bird calls, rustling leaves, and distant animal calls—without the disruption of engine noise. This commitment to sustainable safari tourism not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances the overall wildlife viewing experience.

Explore the heart of Chobe National Park on an open-air game drive, where expert guides help you spot lions, elephants, African wild dogs, buffalo, puku, red lechwe, sable, and roan antelope. These guided drives offer excellent opportunities for wildlife photography and close-up encounters with some of Africa’s most iconic species.

For a different perspective, take a sunset cruise on the Chobe River—one of the most rewarding ways to experience Botswana’s diverse wildlife. Elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of bird species often gather at the riverbanks during the golden hour. The lodge’s electric boats are shallow-draft, highly maneuverable, and virtually silent—perfect for a peaceful, immersive safari on the water.

A guest favorite is the Mosi-oa-Tunya, a double-decker river cruiser with an onboard bar and light snacks, offering sweeping views of the river and floodplains. After the sun sets, guests are invited to the lodge’s stargazing deck, where resident guides and environmentalists offer insightful presentations on the stars and Southern Africa’s night sky.
