Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero is an elegant riverside retreat offering one of Botswana’s most refined safari experiences. Combining classic luxury with outstanding wildlife viewing, this intimate lodge is renowned for its personalised service, exceptional cuisine, and breathtaking views over the Chobe River, where wildlife gathers in abundance.
Rooms
The lodge’s spacious suites are individually designed with rich fabrics, polished wood, and African-inspired décor, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. Each suite features a private garden terrace, a sunken outdoor bath, indoor shower, air-conditioning, minibar, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The overall vibe is calm, exclusive, and indulgent—ideal for those seeking privacy and understated luxury in the bush.
Luxury Cottages
Each of the 14 thatched guest cottages has two showers, one inside and one outside. The en-suite bathroom also has a large free-standing bath. After a day of game viewing, what better way to relax than in your own private garden with a cocktail? Or if the fancy takes you, why not have your gourmet dinner served right here under the African sky. Coffee stations are now available for guest use in the rooms.
Romantic Honeymoon Suite
Our new honeymoon suite at Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero features a private plunge pool and deck area where guests will be able to enjoy private dinners for two under the stars (weather permitting) and special turn downs every night. Guests booking this room will automatically receive a private vehicle and guide for all game viewing activities. Coffee stations are now available for guest use in the rooms.
Dining
Dining at Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero is a standout experience, blending fine-dining techniques with fresh local ingredients and African influences. Meals are served on the terrace overlooking the river, in the elegant dining room, or as private experiences in your suite. The bar and wine cellar offer an impressive selection of wines and cocktails, perfect for sunset drinks as elephants move along the riverbanks below.
Recreation
Guests enjoy expertly guided game drives in Chobe National Park, renowned for close-up elephant encounters and excellent predator sightings, as well as boat safaris along the Chobe River for a different wildlife perspective. Between activities, unwind at the lodge’s full-service spa, relax by the infinity pool, or simply take in the ever-changing river views from your private terrace.
