Your authentic safari experience.

ABOUT US

OUR STORY

The humble dung beetle is a small but mighty creature. Its vital role in the ecosystem cleans, fertilises and aerates the soil to generate new plant growth. In ancient Egypt, they hold meanings of regeneration, rebirth and transformation.
That’s the ethos we carry here at Chobe House, a small privately run property that’s invested in growing the surrounding community through investment and support as well as creating a unique private space where our guests can leave feeling rested, restored and changed for the better by getting closer to nature and leaving the stresses of the ‘real world’ behind for just a moment.
Chobe House was designed as a fun, comfortable and homely environment for guests to experience a truly memorable and unique safari experience in Botswana’s top safari destination. Built by the current owners, Bradley and Danie, out of a passion for wildlife, photography, and the beauty of the Chobe region, Chobe House is best defined as your safari home away from home.

Our story is your adventure.

Chobe House Botswana

A day at Chobe House looks something like this:

06:00 – Enjoy fresh coffee, juices and muffins before departing on a morning game drive into the Chobe National Park. The early morning is the best time to see exciting animals such as lions, leopards, hyenas and jackals, as they tend to be more active before the heat of midday arrives.

 

11:00 – sit down to a freshly-cooked brunch on our floating restaurant on the Chobe River, before settling down to edit your pictures, work out in our gym, or go for a quiet stroll around Kasane.

 

14:00 – a light lunch in served, and this might be the perfect time for a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc before your boat safari begins

 

15:30 – embark on your afternoon boat cruise, hosted by a private guide who will navigate you through the Chobe River’s many estuaries that make themselves home to an abundance of animals, as well as 450+ species of birds. Elephants routinely enjoy spending their afternoons in the river as they get a chance to hydrate, bathe and play. The Chobe is very unique in this ability to safari by land and by river.

18:30 – Arrive back at our private jetty, and head to our floating restaurant where sun-downers are served with a pink and orange backlit sky, as the sun sets directly across the river.

 

19:00 – Dinner is served, wine is poured, and you reflect on a magical day
