The Details

The Camp

Jackalberry Chobe sits on the banks of the Chobe River close to Kasane, a short drive from one of the most wildlife-dense corners of Botswana. The camp is small and personal, designed around the river frontage and the surrounding bushveld so that guests are never far from the water or the sounds of the bush.

The setting is intimate rather than grand. Public areas open onto the river, with a swimming pool and dining spaces positioned to make the most of long Chobe sunsets. Service is hands-on and informal, with managers and guides who get to know guests by name over a two or three night stay.

Rooms

Accommodation is in 16 spacious luxury tents arranged through the natural bush landscape. Tents are offered in three categories: river view, partial view and bush view, each generously sized and finished with comfort in mind.

Every tent has a private balcony, a bedroom with a king-size bed, and an interleading en-suite bathroom with both an indoor shower and a free-standing bath. River-view tents are the most sought after for their direct outlook over the Chobe.

Dining

Meals are served in the main lodge and out on the deck, with dinners under the stars beside the river a regular feature. The kitchen turns out generous, well-presented plates and the team will arrange private dining on a tent balcony for honeymooners, anniversaries or proposals on request.

Activities

Activities are led by the camp's own guides using customised safari vehicles and boats. Morning and afternoon game drives run into Chobe National Park, famous for its enormous elephant population, buffalo herds, lion, leopard and a long list of plains game and birds.

Sunset cruises on the Chobe River are a daily highlight, with hippo, crocodile and elephant coming down to drink along the banks. Private activities and bespoke arrangements can be set up for couples and small groups.
