Accommodation

,Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero Lodge | Chobe River Front Bordering the wildlife dense Chobe National Park, Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero is a safari retreat offering splendid views across the expansive Chobe River and the dry-season floodplains. Guests at Chobe Chilwero can bask in the sun around the split level swimming pool or relax in one of the 15 family friendly bungalows. The lodge boasts the only full spa facility on Botswana’s Chobe safari circuit and offers treatments in the tree-top treatment room. Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge | Savuti - Chobe National Park In the southern section of the world-renowned Chobe National Park, set among iconic acacia trees on the banks of the Savute Channel, Belmond Savute Elephant Camp is an excellent destination for fantastic game viewing and especially the large herds of elephant. The camp has a gorgeous deck overlooking a waterhole and an elevated swimming pool where guests can enjoy watching wildlife come down to drink. Birders will love the annual migration of the colourful carmine bee-eaters and environmentalists will enjoy lectures on the wilderness from local experts. The camp is ultimately supremely comfortable and located in one of the best game reserves on the planet. Andbeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge | Okavango Delta Situated on a private concession in the magnificent Okavango Delta, Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge rises out of the trees in the heart of the delta near a permanent river. A birder’s paradise, 450 species call the islands and waterways of the Okavango their home. As well as the excellent Big 5 sightings you may have, the rare red lechwe and semi-aquatic sitatunga antelope will undoubtedly be highlights on your trip. The lodge is characterised by sumptuous decor, skillful design and the area’s rich game viewing. Jack's Camp | Makgadikgadi Salt Pans Jack’s Camp is one of Botswana’s premier safari camps, located in the immense Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. The camp is spread out beneath mokolwane palms with excellent views across the open expanses and picturesque palm islands. Desert-adapted wildlife are the highlight of a safari experience at Jack’s Camp and guests can look forward to seeing brown hyena, kalahari lions and the comical meerkats. The camp is constructed in traditional safari style and features a natural history museum featuring interesting maps and exhibits, and a social area with a bar and pool table.
