On a remote stretch of the Caprivi's floodplains, only accessible by boat.
One of the more remote locations for a safari, Chobe Savanna Lodge sits in Namibia's Caprivi Strip - a narrow wedge of land to Botswana's north that connects Namibia to Zambia. A privileged position indeed, this camp is only accessible via an hour's boat ride, launched from the town of Kasane in Botswana. (Getting here is half the adventure). Once you arrive you'll enjoy the 180-degree views from the lodge's exquisite main area overlooking a floodplain on the banks of the Chobe River. Here the wildlife and landscape are enjoyed almost exclusively from the boat (except when waters are low enough to take a guided walk on the floodplain - a very brief window of time). This place truly forces one to slow down.

There are thirteen thatched-roof chalets - ten double rooms and three family units. Each has sliding glass doors and views of the river.

The family units consist of inter-leading chalets with twin basins, showers and baths and an optional cot or fold-out bed. Rooms are spacious, not huge, with simple decor.
