Wildlife around Xhabe Safari Lodge

Does game come to the lodge itself?

The lodge sits on a wildlife corridor between the Chobe Forest and the Chobe River. A corridor is a route animals actually use, which is why game moves past the property rather than only being sought out in the park.

On a plateau overlooking the Chobe River floodplain and the Namibian border.

What is Chobe known for?

These are the figures the lodge publishes, each attributed to its source:

• No. 1 for conservation. Botswana, ranked by Lonely Planet in 2017.
• 130,000 elephants. Almost double the number found anywhere else on earth.
• No. 3 safari destination in Africa. Chobe National Park, ranked by Fodor's.
• 450+ bird species. Recorded within the park.

How do I see it?

A game drive is included in the nightly rate, run with the lodge's own maintained fleet. A sundowner is included too.

A boat cruise on the Chobe River is available at extra cost, which is a different way of seeing the same floodplain the chalets look over.
