Wilderness's lagoon camp in the remote Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, a private concession west of the park that it shares with DumaTau. Thatch-and-canvas suites look over a lagoon off the Linyanti River, and there is an underground hide in camp. Concession rules allow what the park forbids: guided walks alongside game drives in open vehicles, plus boat trips on the lagoon and the river. The rate covers meals, local drinks, laundry, activities and park fees. Wilderness's page says eight suites in one place and, in its FAQ, the same capacity as DumaTau's nine tents, so ask. Choose it for walking and water in one camp; at up to US$3,286 a night, it is among the dearest places in this list.

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.
