Activities

Game viewing and Boat cruises into Chobe national park

Traditionally early morning game drives in open safari vehicles and late afternoon boat cruises from the lodge are safari routine.

Elephants are seen in the hundreds and buffalo in the thousands in Chobe National Park. Lions are seen almost daily as are impala, sable antelope, giraffe, warthog and numerous other species.

From experience Garden Lodge have witnessed a herd of bull elephants drink in the middle of the day before swimming across the Chobe river to feed in Namibia.
For guests wanting to see swimming elephants Garden Lodge are very flexible and will change the routine by taking the boat in the middle of the day and a game drive in the late evening.

Birding: Bird enthusiasts have over 500 species to look for in this area.
