The Detail
Chobe Bush Lodge is situated on the Kasane border that leads directly into the world-renowned Chobe National Park. The lodge's location provides easy access to Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Just 150 meters from the Chobe River, game viewing is exceptional throughout the year.
Chobe Bush Lodge is designed to offer complete guest comfort and world-class facilities. The lodge features 38 spacious luxury en-suite rooms and 4 large exclusive family rooms.
Each Luxury Room is tastefully decorated and includes double or twin beds draped with mosquito netting, an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and shower, a sitting area, a writing desk, air-conditioning, a television, and an in-room safe. Ground-floor rooms include verandas with bush views, while the upper-level rooms offer balconies with spectacular views of the Chobe floodplains.
Two of the four Luxury Family Rooms feature two separate bedrooms with twin and double beds and two en-suite bathrooms. The other two rooms consist of one spacious bedroom with a double bed, a sleeper couch, and one en-suite bathroom.
The lodge facilities include a restaurant, pool deck, cocktail bar, Sedudu Bar, dinner cruises, activities center, curio and craft shop, Wi-Fi access, and a health and beauty salon.
Chobe National Park is renowned for hosting the largest concentration of elephants in Africa. During the dry season, these herds, along with large herds of buffalo, gather along the fertile floodplains of the Chobe River. Spectacular sightings of puku, sable, giraffe, and roan antelope, along with the rare aquatic Red Lechwe and the indigenous Chobe Bushbuck, are frequent. The abundance of wildlife supports a thriving population of predators, including resident populations of lions, leopards, wild dogs, and cheetahs. The park hosts the Big Five, along with massive pods of hippos and crocodiles. Chobe is also a haven for bird enthusiasts, showcasing over 450 species, including Pel’s Fishing Owl and the uniquely beaked African skimmer.

Family policies
Travelling with children.
What our safari specialists know about bringing children to Chobe Bush Lodge: minimum ages, activities, family rooms and child rates, current as of May 2026. They plan family trips here all the time, so anything below that needs arranging, they will sort. For the bigger picture, see our guide to safari with children .

Child rates
Children 6–15 years inclusive qualify for child rates; full adult rates apply from age 16. Children 0–11 years stay free in family rooms (4 family rooms available). Children under 16 must be booked into a family room (max 3) or triple share (2 adults + 1 child). Children under 18 must share a room with an adult.
Notable exceptions
- Children of all ages are welcome to stay at Chobe Bush Lodge, and 0–11 year olds stay free in one of the 4 family rooms. Game drives carry a minimum age of 6 per Kwando's broader Botswana camp policy, and private vehicles are compulsory for families with children under 12 (children 6–11 must book a private vehicle). Walking safaris and mokoro excursions are not permitted for under-12s. Note: the supplier T&Cs apply to Kwando's Botswana camps generally (Kwara, Lagoon, Lebala, Splash, Pom Pom, Rra/Mma Dinare, 4 Rivers, Nxai Pan, Tau Pan, Gunns, Moremi Crossing); Chobe Bush Lodge is not specifically named in the Child Policy clauses, so application to Chobe Bush Lodge is inferred. No cots, highchairs or child-friendly equipment provided — families must bring their own.
