Part of this system is the Chobe National Park, famous for its immense herds of elephant and buffalo, which you will witness on game drives and boat cruises.

Both luxurious lodges are situated in Kasane on the banks of the Chobe River and share a border with Chobe National Park. Both are also a stone’s throw away from the meeting point of Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia, therefore offering an excellent getaway location to Chobe, Victoria Falls or Caprivi.

This special ecosystem is home to a wide variety of Africa’s plains game such as zebra, wildebeest, impala, giraffe and tsessebe, and also provides shelter for lechwe, waterbuck and the shy sitatunga.
The wild expanse of scenery contrasts with the casual, understated luxury of the camp. Accommodation consists of eight custom designed tents, with unique mosquito net walls, which allow both the unobstructed flow of cool breezes and stunning views. Each tent has its own viewing deck, bathroom and lavish double outside shower.
