Chobe Campsite

Chobe Campsite is located 60 kilometers from Kasane via a tarred road that runs through Chobe National Park. The drive takes approximately 1-2 hours. While a 4×4 vehicle is not required to reach the campsite itself, a high-clearance 4×4 is recommended for exploring the wider Chobe National Park and surrounding Chobe Enclave area.

Chobe Campsite offers three accommodation options: 10 spacious campsites under acacia trees (sleeping up to 6 people each), 3 self-catering cottages with full kitchens and en-suite bathrooms (sleeping 2 people each), and 3 self-catering safari tents with equipped kitchens (sleeping 2 people each). All units include braai stands and cooking facilities.

Yes, Chobe Campsite can accommodate families, particularly those with older children. The spacious campsites can sleep up to 6 people, making them suitable for family groups. However, as a self-catering facility, families must prepare their own meals. The riverside location and wildlife viewing opportunities from campsites appeal to families interested in nature-based experiences.

Chobe Campsite operates on a fully self-catering basis. All accommodation units include cooking facilities—cottages have fully equipped open-plan kitchens, tents have outside kitchens with gas stovetops and fridges, and campsites have braai stands. Guests must provide their own food supplies, though Kasane (60 km away) offers shopping opportunities before arrival.

Chobe National Park hosts all Big Five species (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros), along with one of Africa's largest elephant concentrations. The Chobe River supports hippos, crocodiles, and diverse bird species. The elevated campsite location on the Chobe Floodplain provides natural wildlife viewing opportunities during dawn and dusk when animals visit the river to drink.

Amenities include 220V power points per campsite, communal ablution facilities with solar-powered hot water showers, running water access, laundry services, and secure electric fence perimeter. The property does not offer Wi-Fi, restaurant services, or spa facilities, as it operates as a self-catering budget accommodation.

The dry season (May to October) offers excellent wildlife viewing when animals concentrate around the Chobe River. Peak season runs July to September for elephant, buffalo, and predator sightings. The wet season (November to April) brings lush vegetation and migratory birds with fewer tourists. Temperatures range from cool mornings (10-15°C) in winter to hot afternoons (30-35°C) in summer.

Yes, electricity is provided via 220V power points at each campsite and in tents. Hot water is available through solar-powered shower systems at the communal ablution facilities (4 separate units with basins, toilets, and showers). Cottages have en-suite bathrooms with outdoor showers.

No, a 4×4 vehicle is not required to access Chobe Campsite itself—the property is reached via tarred road from Kasane. However, a high-clearance 4×4 vehicle is recommended to fully explore Chobe National Park and the surrounding Chobe Enclave area for optimal wildlife viewing experiences.
