Chobe Water Villas lie along the banks of their eponymous river on the far eastern edge of Namibia’s Caprivi Strip (now called the Zambezi Region), close to where the waterway meets the Zambezi River. Here, where four countries – Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe – meet, game thrives. The lodge's 16 thatched chalets, set beneath trees on the riverbank, all overlook magical Sedudu Island, which is a haven for wildlife, especially elephant, buffalo and red lechwe. Part of the adventure lies in reaching the lodge – it’s only accessible by boat from the Botswana border town of Kasane.

Sixteen thatched chalets perch along the river’s edge on stilted platforms. Constructed from local timber, each has fantastic views across the water, with an outdoor lounge that literally hangs above the water. All are spacious, with an open-plan bedroom/lounge, floor-to-ceiling glass doors that fold back to make the most of the views, a full en-suite bathroom. The cherry on the top? Each room has a telescope so you miss none of the action.
