The Chobe elephant are migratory, making seasonal movements of up to 200 kilometres from the Chobe and Linyanti rivers, where they concentrate in the dry season, to the pans in the southeast of the park, to which they disperse in the rains.

Day 1 and 2: Chobe Savanna Lodge
Today you will start your Chobe Safari at Kasane (arrangements can be made for transfers to Kasane) where you will be met and transferred by boat to Chobe Savanna Lodge.

Situated in the Eastern Caprivi of Namibia, on a peninsula on the northern bank of the Chobe River, Chobe Savanna Lodge overlooks the vast floodplains of the Chobe National Park’s Puku Flats. The lodge offers guests a hideaway for those looking for an exclusive Chobe River experience. The area is renowned for its diverse and prolific wildlife including the rare puku antelope.

It is home to large herds of elephant, buffalo and hippo, as well as concentrations of other wildlife which come down to the rivers edge to drink, graze and hunt. Chobe Savanna Lodge is relaxed and informal, set in a classic African Savanna environment with sweeping vistas surrounding the lodge. The focal point of the lodge is a thatched open sided main building which features a 270 degree view over the Chobe River and beyond to the Chobe National Park.

Facilities include a swimming pool and an open boma area on the banks of the Chobe River. Chobe Savanna Lodge accommodates only 24 guests in elegantly furnished thatched chalets, all with private decks, a combined bedroom / lounge area and en-suite facilities.

All chalets are air-conditioned and have complimentary mini bars. Unlike other properties, where scheduled game activities are prioritized, we offer guests the choice of just taking “time out” or joining in on one of the many activities offered at the lodge.

Guests have a choice of boat excursions in small maneuverable boats, which are ideal for close up encounters with wildlife along the rivers edge, fishing (catch & release) for bream or tigerfish, and cultural village visits to one of the surrounding local communities, where guests can observe the deep-rooted traditional life styles of the local people.
