Top-end
Boundary unconfirmed
Safari company
A tented lodge on the ledges of the Ghoha Hills, looking out over the Savuti plains, with 11 tents including two for families. It is the sister of Nogatsaa Pans; Dream Hotels & Resorts, a South African hotel group, lists it among its properties. The boundary is the open question. The lodge says it lies 'within the Chobe National Park', yet its activities page speaks of 'our private network of roads' and a private waterhole, which suggests a lease site on the eastern edge of Savuti near Ghoha Gate. Until DWNP or the lodge settles it, the location is marked unconfirmed. Activities include game drives, the Savuti Marsh, a climb to rock paintings, helicopter flights and a spa.

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.
Questions about Ghoha Hills Savuti Lodge
Is Ghoha Hills Savuti Lodge inside Chobe National Park?
The lodge says so: it describes itself as within the park, about 150 km south-west of Kasane. Its own activities page also mentions a private road network and a private waterhole, which fits a lease site on the eastern edge near Ghoha Gate. DWNP has not confirmed either reading, so ask the lodge before you book if being inside matters to you.
Is Ghoha Hills good for families?
There is no minimum age. Children up to 2 pay 10 percent of the adult rate, 3 to 11 pay 50 percent and 12 to 15 pay 75 percent, and the lodge says families with children under 12 should book a private vehicle, at US$525 a night. Two of the 11 tents are family tents.
How do you get to Ghoha Hills?
Most guests fly: 35 minutes by light aircraft from Kasane or 50 from Maun, then about 40 minutes by road. A helicopter from Kasane takes 48 minutes, and the 4x4 road transfer from Kasane about three hours. Road transfers and flights are not included in the rate.
