Chobe Savanna Lodge

The Chobe River forms a natural boundary between Namibia and Botswana and is one of Southern Africa’s most wildlife-rich waterways. Along its northern banks lies the remote and peaceful Namibian Caprivi Strip, where floodplains stretch endlessly toward the horizon. This pristine region is a haven for birdlife and a variety of plains game, including the rare and elusive puku antelope often seen grazing along the river’s edge.

Tucked away on a private peninsula on Namibia’s northern bank, Chobe Savanna Lodge offers an exclusive safari experience with panoramic views across the river to Botswana’s Chobe National Park. Far from the more trafficked safari routes, the lodge is ideal for those seeking serenity, intimacy, and a strong connection to the water-based wilderness of the Chobe River system.

The lodge accommodates up to 24 guests in elegant, thatched chalets. Each chalet features a spacious, open-plan bedroom and lounge area, en suite bathroom, air-conditioning, and a private wooden deck. Earth-toned décor, dark wood furnishings, and subtle African design elements create a warm, contemporary feel that complements the natural surroundings.

At the heart of the lodge is an open-sided main building with sweeping 270-degree views of the river and Puku Flats beyond. This inviting space includes a comfortable lounge and bar area where guests can relax with a drink while taking in the scenery. The swimming pool and sun deck offer a peaceful setting for afternoon leisure, while lunches are served beneath a shaded gazebo overlooking the water. In the evening, guests gather around the boma firepit for starlit dinners and traditional dancing, accompanied by the sounds of the river.

Whether you’re enjoying a quiet drink by the water, a leisurely lunch by the pool, or an evening under the stars, Chobe Savanna Lodge offers a deeply relaxing and immersive safari experience in one of the region’s most tranquil locations.
