Unique Accommodations

Baobab Safari Lodge
Chobe National Park
In Botswana’s Chobe National Park, we spend
three nights at the intimate Baobab Safari Lodge,
a 30-minute drive from Kasane. Its location just
outside the park gives us more time to spend on
game-viewing drives. Recently renovated, the open-
air lodge overlooks the Chobe River. In the evening,
the dining room and bar are perfect spots to view
the sun setting over the river. We’ll stay in nine
comfortable bungalows, each with two beds and a
private bathroom.
Discover Victoria Falls—one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders—on Days 15 and 16.
