Game drives are the cornerstone of the safari experience and we will take you out whenever you desire. The best time for viewing is early morning or late afternoon. Due to the location of Chobe Game Lodge inside the Chobe National Park our early-morning game drives deaprt as soon as the park opens. This will give you the best chance of track predators while they are still active.

Afternoon drives depart the lodge in the late afternoon and only return at park closure time after sunset, thus maximising the time you spend out in the park to enjoy those special sightings.

typically the drives will follow the course of the Chobe River. As you go your guide will explain and interpret the bush signs and tracks in search of the resident wildlife. Elephant encounters are common and huge herds of buffalo abound. The ever-present impala and the majestic giraffe are both common residents, while sightings of the puku antelope are also on offer. Predators are plentiful in the northern region of the Chobe National Park, and excellent sightings of lion, wild dog and leopard are to be had.
