Chobe
Savanna is a brand new luxury lodge, located on a peninsula on
the northern bank Chobe River in the East Caprivi of Namibia.
The lodge overlooks the vast floodplains of the Chobe National
Park’s Puku Flats and is located approximately 90 kilometres
due west of Victoria Falls. Access is by boat transfer from
Botswana and it is also seasonally accessible by 4x4 vehicles
from the Namibian side. Chobe Savanna Lodge is owned and
operated by Desert & Delta Safaris.
Accommodation
Chobe Savanna is relaxed and informal,
set in a classic African savanna environment with sweeping
vistas surrounding the lodge. The focal point of the lodge is
a thatched open-sided main building which commands a
270-degree view over the Chobe River and beyond to the Chobe
National Park. Located in the main building are the lounge,
dining room and bar, all furnished with African-style décor
in dark teak wood, perfectly blending with the environment.
The lodge accommodates just 24 guests in stylish thatched
chalets, each with private deck, a combined bedroom / lounge
area and en-suite bathrooms. All rooms are furnished in subtle
earth tones and dark woods in a contemporary African theme,
are air conditioned, and have complimentary mini bars and
overhead ceiling fans.
The
charm of Chobe Savanna Lodge, with its sweeping views and wide
vistas, lies in its beauty, tranquility and peaceful
atmosphere, far from the crowds of large cruise boats and game
drive vehicles. The emphasis here is on complete relaxation
and solace. Unlike other properties, wherein regimented game
activities are prioritized, Chobe Savanna Lodge offers guests
the choice of just taking 'time out' or joining in on one of
the many safari activities offered at the lodge.
Depending upon the time of year, guests are also able to take
a canoe excursion along the river.
Facilities include an open-air swimming pool with a beautiful
sun deck and an open boma area on the banks of the Chobe River
where guests are treated to panoramic views and traditional
dancing performed by local villagers.
Activities
Those who wish to explore the Chobe River
will enjoy the resident professional guides, whose intimate
knowledge will make for an unforgettable experience. Guests
have a choice of walking safaris or personalized guided
cruises on one of the smaller water craft belonging to the
Lodge, ideal for close up encounters with wildlife along the
river's edge. There are also good fishing on offer. The waters
around the lodge are renowned for outstanding Tiger and Bream
fishing. Fishing expeditions with experienced guides and all
necessary tackle can be arranged.
For guests interested in learning about the cultures of the
local communities that inhabit the Caprivi Strip, the lodge
arranges private visits to remote villages. Here guests can
observe the deep-rooted, traditional life styles of the
indigenous people.
Wildlife
Chobe's Puku Flats are renowned for its
diverse and prolific wildlife, including the rare Puku
antelope. It is also home to large herds of Elephant and
Buffalo, large numbers of Hippo, as well as concentrations of
Giraffe, Sable, Wild Dog, Lion and the other predators which
come down to the river to drink, graze and hunt. This area is
an untouched water wilderness sanctuary, ideal for quiet
discovery, where game and bird life flourish undisturbed under
the protection of the Chobe National Park.
