Jackalberry Chobe
Fully inclusive tented camp · Kasane, on the banks of the Chobe River · Thebe River Safaris
Mid-range
Outside the gate
Owner-run
A new tented camp on the banks of the Chobe River in Kasane, outside the park, built and operated by the family behind Thebe River Safaris. It calls itself 'Chobe's newest, fully inclusive tented camp' and 'the first of its kind in the Chobe region', though it does not print the year it opened. Sixteen tents take up to 32 guests and are sold by view: river, partial river or bush. Game drives and boat cruises go into the park. The rate is fully inclusive, but the amount is not published, so ask for a quote and compare it with Elephant Valley Lodge and Chobe Bakwena, the nearest equivalents.

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.
The full fee schedule for Chobe National ParkRates at Jackalberry Chobe
Rates on request. No rate is published on the camp's own site. It is sold as fully inclusive; the price band shown is an estimate from comparable fully inclusive camps near Kasane, so ask for the actual figure.
All inclusive. The rate covers meals, drinks, activities and the transfers named below. Park fees are charged separately.
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.
