Chobe Under Canvas

Awake your inner camper

Feeling adventures? Seasoned safari enthusiast? Or simply seeking an intense Botswana experience? Venture out to Chobe Under Canvas: a comfortable lodge in the Chobe National Park consisting of only five en suite mobile tents. If you ever thought camping just wasn’t for you; think again. By arriving at Chobe Under Canvas you will find yourself as close to African nature as you will ever get. Wake up every day to the fragrance of morning dew and start your own ‘Out of Africa’ story. Experience elephant herds passing by over breakfast, game drives and river cruises in one of the most game-rich areas, yummy meals cooked over open fire, cosy evenings watching ‘Bush TV Channel One’ (meaning: a crackling fire) while sharing safari tales, lions roaring at night and sleeping like a baby under canvas - Robson and his team make sure your entire stay at this camp will be unforgettable. Light hearted and fun, and amazing professionals at the same time: the staff at Chobe Under Canvas is what makes this camp truly special. Although a little more ‘rustic’ than a five star hotel, service is definitely ten stars. But the best part is, of course, that you are truly in the bush and eye to eye with Botswana’s wildlife.

Tucked in the shade of a dense forest deep in the pristine African bush, a maximum of ten guests revel in the total isolation of five tents in these private wildlife sites. And the word ‘tent’ might be slightly misleading: no sleeping on thin air beds at this camp. The big beds are undoubtedly some of the most comfortable in all of Botswana and very welcome as you slide your weary body between crisp sheets at night. The toilet flushes, hot showers are prepared on request (or wait until the end of the day when the water is warmed up by the sun) and the minute you step out of your tent the most delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and cold or warm drinks are freshly prepared. Whenever you are in need of some tranquillity, sit yourself down on your private, shady verandah and admire smaller bush residents passing you by. Or listen to soft but beautiful birdsongs. All this with jaw-dropping backgrounds of bathing hippos, towering giraffes against sunset, elephant families, buffalo herds and many more.
