The wildlife roams in profusion and diversity. The elephant population, estimated to number in excess of 35 000, is the largest single concentration in Africa surviving within the confines of a proclaimed National Park. During the harsh dry season, the herds migrate south to north and congregate along the perennial Chobe River and fertile floodplains. The sight is spectacular and unforgettable - red winter sunsets, elephant, buffalo in their thousands. The quality of timeless Africa is real and very strong and the vistas are of an era almost bygone in time. Other major species such as lion, square-lipped rhino, wild dog, sable and roan antelope are encountered in this area.

The architecture is Moorish and graceful high arches, barrel-vault ceilings and tiled floors create an atmosphere of spaciousness and tranquillity. All 43 rooms are tastefully furnished and cooled by overhead punkah-punkah fans. For the connoisseur of luxury, there are four private suites each with individual swimming pools and outside garden patio, and one family suite. All rooms overlook the perennial Chobe River and adjacent Caprivi floodplain. Facilities within the lodge include a well-stocked curio shop, wildlife reference library and stylishly decorated Linyanti bar and lounge area. The Motswanan game rangers are highly experienced and fully committed to the continued preservation and conservation of Botswana's National Parks and wildlife. Through their individual knowledge and rapport you will understand and touch the very essence of Chobe's heritage. Your hosts at Chobe are congenial and hospitable, your comfort and enjoyment being their foremost concern. The cuisine is superb, with a taint of African flavour and variety and in keeping with the finest resorts in the world. Venison specialities and outside barbeques are very much part of a Chobe experience.

In order to afford guests an understanding of wildlife ecology and the Chobe ecosystem, wildlife videos and slide lectures are held on a regular basis in the conference venue. Safari activities at Chobe are diverse and exciting and tailored to suit individual requirements. Game drives are conducted in open four-wheel-drive vehicles, normally early morning and late afternoon and under the leadership of qualified Motswanan guides. The Chobe floodplain is renown for its concentration of buffalo and elephant and the late afternoon in particular, provides spectacular viewing. All vehicles are equipped with two-way radio systems, thus facilitating optimum sightings of the major species and the elusive "big five". A sunset cruise down the Chobe River is an experience that will always linger. Reflection on still water, the cry of fish eagles, elephant on open green plains, silence, a waning sunset - words cannot capture the atmosphere, the feel of Africa, the beauty of this unspoilt landscape. The Motswanan game rangers are highly experienced and fully committed to the continued preservation and conservation of Botswana's National Parks and wildlife. Through their individual knowledge and rapport you will understand and touch the very essence of Chobe's heritage.
