Chobe Game Lodge

Inside Chobe National Park, Botswana

The only lodge inside Chobe National Park itself, with a history stretching back to the 1970s and a famous connection to Elizabeth Taylor.

Overview

Chobe Game Lodge holds a unique position as the only lodge located inside Chobe National Park’s boundary, with a history dating to the early 1970s that includes a well-documented stay, and second wedding, of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Rooms and suites set along the Chobe riverfront, comfortably furnished with a blend of historic character and contemporary updates.

Food & Service

Botswanan and international dishes served with river views, alongside a genuinely storied bar area tied to the lodge’s celebrity history.

Activities

Game drives and river cruises on the Chobe River, famous for its concentrated elephant and buffalo herds along the water’s edge.

Wildlife & Photography

Chobe holds one of the largest elephant populations in Africa, with herds gathering along the riverfront in the dry season in numbers rarely matched elsewhere on the continent.

A Photographer's Note

River cruises here put photographers at water level with elephants swimming and drinking at close range, a genuinely different vantage from a standard game drive.

Conservation & Impact

The lodge’s in-park location and long operating history have made it a consistent supporter of Chobe’s elephant research and anti-poaching programmes.
