Safari company
Wilderness's nine-tent camp in the Linyanti concession, which Wilderness manages exclusively and shares with King's Pool and Little DumaTau, west of the park. The camp overlooks a hippo pool on the Savute Channel. Activities are dawn and dusk game drives, guided walks, boat trips on the channel and the Linyanti River, and a hide; Wilderness also lists a barge and catch-and-release fishing. At US$4,327 a person a night from June to October 2026, it carries the highest published rate of any property in this list, with meals, local drinks, laundry, activities and park fees included. The nearest airstrip is DumaTau's own.

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.

Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
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.
