Our
visit
to
Chobe
Safari
Lodge
was
okay.
Positives:
The
Chobe
Safari
Lodge
is
located
on
the
banks
of
the
Chobe
river
which
allowed
for
amazing
views
and
sunsets.
Hippos
can
be
heard
at
night.
While
the
Warthogs
walk
around
as
if
they
run
the
town
(pretty
awesome
to
watch
them).
The
Lodge
itself
is
really
nice
and
clean.
Our
Safari
room
was
spacious
-
inside
the
room
was
still
water,
Basic
coffee,
Teas
and
milk,
The
bathroom
is
open
plan,
However
there
is
a
curtain
that
can
be
used
to
make
it
private.
Basic
amenities
supplied.
The
Restaurants
were
amazing,
food
was
great
and
they
had
awesome
cocktails
(the
ones
that
were
available)
The
Bush
Lodge
(
a
short
walk
from
the
Safari
Lodge)
serves
A
La
Carte
while
the
Safari
Lodge
only
serves
Buffets.
There
is
a
activity
desk
where
guests
can
book
excursions.
The
Chobe
river
cruise
was
definitely
worth
it.
The
staff
on
the
boat
were
very
informative
and
went
out
of
their
way
to
make
the
experience
memorable.
(DO
take
snacks
with
you
as
they
donโt
supply
any
form
of
food
on
the
boat
-
Only
beverages
is
supplied
-
at
a
fee)
Victoria
Falls
trip
is
definitely
worth
it!
(DO
take
some
still
water
with
as
no
beverages
is
supplied
during
transfers)
Negatives:
*Staff
-
There
was
a
handful
of
staff
that
went
out
of
their
way
to
assist
-
However
we
found
majority
of
the
staff
to
be
very
unhelpful
and
unfriendly
at
times
-
Also
slowโฆ
everything
is
so
slow.
*River
cruise
-
There
weโre
no
snacks
and/or
food
supplied
on
the
3
hour
cruise.
*Victoria
Falls
Trip
-
Crossing
in
to
Zimbabwe
is
a
nightmare
-
It
takes
allot
of
time
-
I
feel
that
the
hotel
can
keep
border
forms
at
their
activity
centre
which
can
be
filled
in
prior
to
arrival.
The
activity
centre
should
also
keep
information
about
activities
that
can
be
done
at
Vic
Falls
maybe
even
book
them
for
the
guests
prior
to
departure.
The
hotel
really
rips
people
off
with
transfer
fees
(taking
in
to
consideration
what
was
on
offer
during
the
transfer)
*
WiFi
-
Our
Room
didnโt
have
any
WiFi
*
MiniBar
Fridge
-
Our
room
didnโt
have
a
fridge
Summary:
The
Chobe
Safari
Lodge
is
an
amazing
place,
it
just
needs
to
be
managed
correctly.
Small
things.
I
believe
with
some
effort
this
place
could
be
the
top
hotel
in
the
area.
Would
I
return?
Probably,
Yes.
