Discover one of Africa’s most remarkable safari regions where the borders of Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe converge. Along the legendary Chobe River, wildlife gathers in extraordinary numbers, creating one of the most spectacular safari landscapes on the continent. This unique experience blends the thrill of safari with the serenity of life on the water. Guests glide along the river aboard elegant floating lodges and boutique safari boats, watching elephants gather on the riverbanks, hippos drift through the water and fish eagles circle overhead.
A Unique Safari Experience
Stays can be tailored across a collection of exceptional properties on the Chobe River, including the elegant Zambezi Queen, the intimate Chobe Princess fleet, or the secluded Ichingo Chobe River Lodge. Each offers a different way to experience this extraordinary ecosystem.
Life on the River
Days on the Chobe follow the natural rhythm of the river. Guests explore hidden channels and quiet waterways by small safari boat, where wildlife gathers along the shoreline of Chobe National Park. Activities may include water-based game viewing, tiger fishing, birding safaris, photographic excursions at sunrise and sunset, and cultural visits to riverside communities. Between excursions, relax on deck with uninterrupted river views, enjoy exceptional cuisine prepared by onboard chefs, and watch spectacular African sunsets unfold across the water.
Example Journey
A typical itinerary may combine time aboard either the Chobe Queen or Chobe Princess, boutique houseboats drifting quietly along the river, with a stay at Ichingo Lodge on Namibia’s Impalila Island. This pairing blends the romance of a floating safari with the authenticity of a riverside lodge, creating a beautifully balanced African adventure.
Tailored for You
Experiences on the Chobe River can be fully tailored, from short luxury escapes to extended safari journeys that combine Botswana, Namibia, Victoria Falls or the legendary Okavango Delta.
