Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero - Overview
Discover the wonders of Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero, nestled in the heart of Botswana’s Chobe National Park.
Nestled alongside Chobe National Park, where the majestic Kalahari elephants roam, this safari retreat presents breathtaking vistas of the Chobe River and its expansive floodplains during the dry season. Fifteen family-friendly bungalows are nestled in beautifully maintained gardens, and Chobe Chilwero features the sole full spa facility on Botswana’s safari circuit, complete with a tree-top treatment room that provides a one-of-a-kind pampering experience.
Include morning and afternoon game drives in Chobe National Park, thoughtfully arranged to skip the early wake-up calls and provide ample time for breakfast. Pair this with serene sunset riverboat cruises, and you have all the elements for an unforgettable safari in a region renowned for its remarkable elephant population.
Guests at Chobe Chilwero can enjoy the split-level swimming pool after a morning spent photographing sable antelope, water-weeded hippos, long-horned kudu, sleepy crocodiles, and adorable banded mongooses in Chobe National Park. Then witness the sun morph from a vibrant egg-yolk yellow to a striking blood-red fireball as it descends beyond the distant horizon…
