Chobe Chilwero

Chobe Chilwero’s facilities are incredibly impressive for its wild remoteness, as no other safari lodge in Botswana has a full spa.

Chilwero means “the place of the high view”, which describes this lodge perfectly. Sitting close to Chobe National Park on a hillside overlooking the Chobe River, the lodge offers unparalleled panoramic views across the islands and floodplains as far across as Namibia. This is an incredibly luxurious lodge with just 15 guest cottages, as well as the only full spa in Botswana. Relax in the split-level swimming pool, unwind with a pampering session in the spa or enjoy the gourmet food that the lodge has become known for

The 15 large and very spacious cottages allow for an even greater sense of privacy after the natural seclusion of your surroundings and are tastefully decorated in an earthy and neutral palette, incorporating traditional furniture and fittings but with a decidedly modern and well-equipped feel to them. Each have showers both inside and out, freestanding bath tubs, and a private garden perfected for end-of-the -day drinks and dinner.

The food is delicious, the staff extremely helpful, excellent guides and the views are pretty spectacular.

Various beauty and health treatments are available at the spa from manicures, facials, massage and hydrotherapy.
