Luxury Holidays At Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero

Set on the banks of the Chobe River, bordering Chobe National Park, Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero is a luxurious lodge with fifteen suites. A must-visit on any luxury Botswana safari, Chobe is famous for its large herds of elephant, which are almost guaranteed to be seen on daily game drives and river cruises. Between wildlife activities, you can relax in the split-level swimming pool or enjoy some pampering in the spa. Feasts, using local ingredients, are created by Executive Chef Phinias and his team. Start the day with a full breakfast, enjoy a light lunch poolside and, during late afternoon river cruises, indulge in drinks and canapes as the sun sets on the Chobe River. In the evening, dinner is a three-course event taken in the main dining area or in your suite’s private garden.

Luxury Family Holidays

Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero is perfect for a family safari and children of all ages are welcome, while the perimeter of the lodge is fenced for added peace of mind. The suites are spacious and some have a second bedroom. Family-friendly activities include treasure hunts and guided walks, on which children can learn about the local flora and fauna as they collect leaves and seeds. They can even make their own pizzas with the chef! Timings for meals and the duration of game drives can be adapted to suit each family’s needs. Please note that children under five years old will only be permitted on game drives in a private vehicle.

Safari

Daily game drives are led by professional guides in open-sided, four-wheel drive vehicles along the banks of the Chobe River. Chobe is famous for its large concentration of elephants, and you can watch their antics as they splash in the river. Look out for sitatungas – antelope with splayed feet to help them splash through the water channels - while lion, leopard, puku and red lechwe are some of the other species that may be seen. The park also houses a prolific amount of birds.

Hotel Experiences

Perfect for capturing the abundant wildlife in the early morning light on the Chobe River, Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero has its own safari boat for photographers to use. Taking a maximum of 18 guests, the boat features 360-degree swivel seats and a lower deck featuring the bar area where breakfast or lunch is served. With its wonderful location on the banks of the Chobe River, evening cruises at sunset are also a great way to experience the area, inviting you to watch as herds of elephants and pods of hippos congregate. Sipping a cocktail as the sun sets over the river is the perfect way to end the day.

Climate

Chobe National Park is a year-round destination with two distinct seasons. The wet season (from December to April) is an excellent time of the year for bird-watchers, while the light is often popular with photographers. The most popular time to visit is from May to November, during the dry season, when animals congregate around the Chobe River. August through to October are the hottest months.

Getting There

Chobe National Park can be reached by road from Kasane Airport (BBK), which can be reached in under two hours by air from Johannesburg. The park can also be accessed by road from Livingstone Airport (LVI) in Zambia and Victoria Falls Airport (VFA) in Zimbabwe. The best route depends on where in the park you are visiting. Your Luxury Travel Specialist will advise on the ideal travel arrangements for your bespoke itinerary.

Safari

Whilst Chobe National Park is famous for its large concentrations of elephant (the highest density in Africa!) often seen gracing the banks of the mighty Chobe River, there are plenty of other species to look out for on daily game drives with expert rangers. These include - but aren't limited to - lion, leopard, zebra, Cape buffalo, hippo, puku and red lechwe.

Safari
Cruising the Chobe River

A river cruise is an excellent way to safari in the park, with two and three-night cruises aboard the Zambezi Queen inviting you to explore the Chobe River bordering Botswana and Namibia. The changing scenery can be viewed from each of the cabins' private balconies, while you can also hop into the tender boats to explore the wildlife on the shoreline – including huge elephants and various other game. Species along the wildlife-rich waterway include kingfishers, fish eagles and herons, as well as hippos and crocodiles.

Cruising the Chobe River
Birdwatching

Home to plenty of marshes and floodland, Chobe National Park is excellent for birdwatching, with some 460 species to tick off the checklist. Birds you may spot include half-collared kingfishers, white-backed night herons, African skimmers and much, much more!
