Things To Note When Staying At Chobe Safari Lodge

  1. Large property with 62 different rooming options, not suitable for the discerning or luxury vacationer looking for a tranquil, personalized safari experience with fewer in-house guests. Though, it is popular accommodation for Ugandans and local residents especially on the weekends and holidays.
  2. Has conference rooms and venues for events and can become noisy when many guests are staying.
  3. Located 2 - 3 hours drive from the park’s main gate when coming via Paraa; guests may have to backtrack and travel up longer distances to access the prime wildlife viewing regions.
  4. Not a 5 star property as branded by the lodge. Service and quality can be variable at times - expected from a Value Tier 3 Safari accommodation.
  5. Offers a good gym and spa facilities - ideal for guests seeking a holistic wellness retreat rather than an authentic safari accommodation.
