Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge is located in the Kasane Forest Reserve in Botswana. The reserve is located between two parks, the Chobe National Park and the Zambezi National Park. As can be expected, the game viewing is exceptional. The lodge’s claim to fame is its prolific elephant herds, many of which can be spotted congregating around the lodge’s waterhole - it’s not uncommon to spend evenings dining with elephants. In addition to Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge’s enviable location, it is also fast becoming a sought-after safari destination for large groups seeking a lodge of superior quality with African inspired design. Boasting 20 bedrooms that all face the waterhole, this secluded hideaway ensures every need is met in terms of accommodation. Fans, mosquito nets, safes, private balconies with seating and butler’s trays in each room provide a much needed sense of comfort. In addition to the standard bedroom options, there are also 2 luxury Meru style tents on raised platforms that cater for guests requiring something a little bit more luxurious. The main area of the lodge is joined to the rooms by a quaint wooden walkway that meanders its way from the rooms to an expansive reception area housing a curio shop and a further viewing deck overlooking the waterhole. There is also a massage spa being built, which will offer another dimension to the already sublime safari experience. The two dining areas each have a small bar area, and like the rest of the lodge, overlooks the bustling waterhole. Guests can expect to dine in splendour, while being introduced a fusion of flavours during mealtimes. For those needing a respite from the African heat, you’ll be pleased to know that there is a swimming pool on-site, complete with a deck area with chairs and umbrellas. When you’re not soaking up the tranquillity of the bushveld at the pool’s edge, spend time in the boma area alongside a crackling fire. Included in your safari experience are two activities per day, which can include sundowner drives to the Kazuma Pan; a full day into the Chobe National Park for game drives and a boat cruise; cultural village tours; and day trips to Victoria Falls. Immerse yourself in this enchanting forest lodge, where evenings are graced by the presence of elephants, creating unforgettable memories under the African sky. With exceptional game viewing between Chobe and Zambezi National Parks, Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge promises an authentic wilderness experience. From the comfort of your well-appointed room to the outdoor dining areas overlooking the bustling waterhole, every moment at Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge is a celebration of nature's splendor.
