Mopane Tour

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the magnificent Chobe River, Chobe Chilwero is one of Botswana's most luxurious safari lodges. The name "Chilwero" actually means "high view" in the local language, and that's exactly what you get – absolutely stunning panoramic vistas across the floodplains and islands stretching all the way to Namibia.

The camp was completely renovated and reopened in 2016, and they've done a stunning job balancing luxury with authenticity. Everything's built into the existing landscape under a gorgeous canopy of mature jackalberry, sausage, and rain trees. The main area is split-level with the upper deck housing the dining room, bar, curio shop, library, and reception – all with expansive views over the northern floodplains. Down below there's a beautiful swimming pool where you can cool off while watching elephants and buffalo wander past.

Moremi Game Reserve

What sets Stanley's apart is its location on a vast private concession, which means guides can venture off-road, conduct night drives, and lead walking safaris – activities that aren't permitted in the national parks. The area is known for substantial buffalo herds that can number over two thousand, along with healthy populations of lion, leopard, and wild dog. There are several active hyena dens near camp that provide fascinating viewing opportunities. Game drives typically include thrilling water crossings as vehicles navigate through flooded areas, and when water levels are right, guests can explore the channels by mokoro for a more tranquil perspective.
