ZIMBABWE

If you decide to visit Zimbabwe after being at Chobe Safari Lodge, your next destination should be Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls offers a variety of accommodation, from luxury to rustic, namely Ilala Lodge, which is situated less than a 10-minute walk from the magnificent Victoria Falls. This is an elegant lodge offering exceptional quality accommodation. The Rest Camp offers basic and rustic accommodation for travelers on a budget. From Victoria Falls to Hwange National Park is about a two hours drive. For the best game viewing in the park we recommend staying at Hwange Safari Lodge, which offers excellent accommodation.

BOTSWANA

You will most likely stay at least one night in the Chobe Game Reserve before traveling south to the Makgadikadi Pans. The Makgadikadi Pans are the world's largest salt pans. The pans are surrounded by grass, which attracts antelope followed by large predators. Planet Baobab is near Gweta on the edge of this pan. From Gweta, it is only 300 km to Francistown, where you can spend a night in the Thapama Hotel before you continue your Botswana tour or before you return to Zimbabwe. Alternatively, consider a night in Nata Lodge, 100 km from Gweta and 200 km from Francistown. Khama Rhino Sanctuary is a community-based wildlife project. This reserve has a healthy population of rhino and there is a good chance of rhino sighting.

NAMIBIA


From Chobe Safari Lodge to the Caprivi is a mere 70 km where you are spoiled with accommodation options namely Ngepi Lodge or Kwando Camp to name a few. Orange River Lodge offers self-catering accommodation at Noordoewer, just two km from the South African border. Your next step might be Ai-Ais Resort in the Richtersveld National Park. 


The best time to visit the Etosha National Park is during the winter months of May to October. This is the period when the European countries have their summer holidays and there is an influx of overseas visitors. For camping accommodation in Etosha National Park we recommend Halli CampNamutoni Camp and  Okauekuejo Camp these lodges also offer B&B accommodation.


The main attraction of the southern region is the spectacular Sossusvlei, a clay pan formed when the shifting dunes of the Namib smothered the course of the Tsauchab River. Surrounded by majestic star-shaped dunes with curvaceous lines it is a photographer's dream. Places like Sossusvlei Lodge & Sossusvlei Desert Camp offers breath-taking accommodation.
