Frequently Asked Questions

We're planning a family trip to Chobe Bush Lodge. What makes it particularly great for kids, and what should we know about traveling with children there?

We love that Chobe Bush Lodge is genuinely child friendly. They offer specific family rooms and activities that keep younger guests engaged, from guided bush walks tailored for them to educational sessions about local wildlife. It means parents can truly relax knowing everyone is catered for.

We're considering Chobe Bush Lodge for a luxury safari experience. What's the vibe like, and how does it compare to other high-end lodges we might find?

The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, offering a sophisticated base for exploring the Kasika Conservancy. Unlike some more rustic camps, Chobe Bush Lodge provides exceptional comfort and amenities, including spacious rooms and excellent dining, without compromising on the authentic safari immersion we crave.

We've heard the dry season is best for game viewing in Botswana. How does this apply to Chobe Bush Lodge and the Kasika Conservancy, and what wildlife can we realistically expect to see?

Absolutely, June to October is prime time. During the dry season, wildlife congregates around water sources in the Kasika Conservancy, making for sensational game viewing. We've consistently seen large herds of elephants, buffalo, and a fantastic array of plains game, with good chances for predators too.

What kind of activities are included when staying at Chobe Bush Lodge, and are there any extra costs we should be aware of for excursions?

While the lodge offers hotel style amenities, we recommend booking game drives and guided walks in the Kasika Conservancy separately. These are essential for experiencing the wildlife. We found the pricing for these activities to be competitive for a luxury lodge, and well worth the investment for the incredible sightings.

We're concerned about safety on safari. What measures does Chobe Bush Lodge have in place, especially given its proximity to the conservancy?

We always feel secure at Chobe Bush Lodge. The lodge is well-designed with safety in mind, and all guided activities are led by experienced rangers who are experts in wildlife behavior and tracking. You can rest assured that your well-being is their top priority throughout your stay.
