Safari company
Desert & Delta's lodge on the northern bank of the Chobe in Namibia's eastern Zambezi Region, looking across the river, which forms the border, to the park's Puku Flats. It has 13 safari chalets, which the operator now describes as 'thoughtfully refurbished', without printing a reopening date on its own site. Guests arrive from Kasane by boat. Activities include game drives, boat trips and a cultural visit, and the reseller's rate covers park fees and transfers. Children of all ages are welcome, though those aged 12 and under need privately booked activities. Chobe Holdings, the group behind Chobe Game Lodge, added the lodge to its portfolio in 2001.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Chobe National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 a day for non-residents, roughly $20 at P13.5 to the dollar.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP115 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $9 (P30 for a Botswana-registered or hired car).
- $9per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $147 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Rates checked on 4 October 2026, per person per night sharing, from each property's own website or rate sheet where one is published. Desert & Delta, Belmond, &Beyond, Bush Ways, Machaba and several Kasane lodges publish none, so those figures come from two resellers, chobe.com and the Siyabona network (safari.co.za), and are marked as a reseller rate; the houseboat and Ichingo figures from chobe.com are in South African rand. SKL's campsite table is undated. Kwando Safaris, African Bush Camps and several smaller lodges publish no rates at all. Park entry is P270 per non-resident per day for a private visitor and P190 on an operator's activity, and many Kasane packages leave it out, so check what your rate includes.
