Time To Go Wild
Essentials|March 2019

If you're in need of a bush break, then look no further than these lodges for a luxurious and tranquil back-to-nature experience.

Time To Go Wild

CHOBE WATER VILLAS

WHY GO?

Situated on the Namibian tip of the Zambezi Region, previously known as the Caprivi Strip, and with the iconic Chobe River as its setting, Chobe Water Villas offers a luxurious break in one of Africa's must-see wildlife destinations. With transfers, meals and a host of activities taken care of by the lodge, all guests have to do is relax in the tranquillity of the bush and enjoy spotting various animals and birds on the river banks and in the water.

GAME VIEWING

While you don’t have to go far to see hippo wallowing in water below your villa (or hear them at night feeding under the deck), one of the most memorable experiences the lodge offers is a river safari. The three to four-hour boat cruise lets you get close to the river’s wildlife, whether it’s the awe of some very big crocodiles who call the waters home, the magical sight of a herd of elephants coming down to drink, or a quick glimpse of a fish eagle swooping down on its prey. The lodge can also arrange a morning game drive into Chobe National Park, across the river and into Botswana. The park is home to Africa’s largest elephant population, so if you don’t get to see them from the water, you should be guaranteed a sighting from the open 4 x 4 vehicle, as well as appreciating some of nature’s smaller marvels, like the changing colours of a chameleon in the sand and jewel-coloured bee-eaters in flight.
