Occasionally we like to feature our favorite camps and lodges throughout Africa. Botswana is one of Africa Easy’s favorite places to really get out into the bush and explore Africa in a variety of ways – mokoro, walking, boating, game drives and more. One of the best spots for boating in Botswana is the Chobe River and there’s arguably no more luxurious place to stay than at the Chobe Chilwero Lodge.
Chobe Chilwero borders the Chobe National Park, which is home to the world’s largest population of elephant and one of the most beautiful rivers in Southern Africa. The luxurious lodge has 15 suites housed in individual cottages and boasts the best spa on the Botswana safari circuit.
Africa Easy’s Best of Botswana Tour features two nights at Chobe Chilwero where we enjoy traditional game drives and boat rides along the Chobe River at sunset. Game viewing is exceptional along the river in the late afternoon as buffalo, elephant and other animals come to the river’s edge to play and drink.
Each of the guest cottages features warm colors, beautiful African tiles, wide private verandahs and, our favorite thing, amazing bathrooms with huge soaking tubs and outdoor showers!
The spa is one of the most beautiful and well-outfitted (with Africology!) centers that we’ve seen in Africa and beyond. The lodge offers early morning snacks and buffet and hot breakfast in the dining room, afternoon tea on the lawn before game activities, and incredible dinners on the candle-lit verandah…the service at Chilwero is superb!
Chobe Chilwero is certainly one of Africa Easy’s favorite spots in Botswana! Contact us to learn more about Chobe Chilwero and how to include it in your custom Africa Safari.
