Chobe Elephant Camp

Located high on the edge of a rocky ridge overlooking the famous Chobe River is the Chobe Elephant Camp. Built from the same red Kalahari sands that dominate the northern part of Botswana, this eco-friendly lodge is ideally positioned to take advantage of everything this incredible destination has to offer.

During your stay at Chobe Elephant Camp you will hopefully get the opportunity to experience the big game safari in the custom built open Land Rovers and/or from a boat on the Chobe River. Nature walks will also give you the chance to get to get up close and personal with the smaller details of the African Bush. Finally a walk through the local village will give you a chance to learn about the culture and livelihoods of the local Sibuya tribe.

You will conduct all your activities with local professional guides. These trained professionals will help you to interpret the sounds, smells and sights of the bush and its inhabitants, as well as expose you to the culture of the local people and how they live in this wilderness.

Chobe Elephant Camp has been designed to capture the feel of the traditional farmstead located in the African wilderness. Polished floors, exposed wooden beams and weathered furniture capture the feel of rustic charm. Mix this with some contemporary style and the lodge has a unique feel of old meets new and offers the guests something different and unique.

All 12 rooms are en-suite with both indoor and outdoor showers. The whole lodge has been designed to take advantage of the spectacular views over the Chobe River, so whether you choose to relax on your private veranda, read a book in the lounge, have a drink at the bar or cool off in the pool, the vista will always be there to enjoy.
