Location & Setting

Chobe Marina Lodge sits on the southern bank of the Chobe River in Kasane, moments from the park gate and about ten minutes from Kasane Airport. Its riverfront setting looks across reedbeds and floodplains where elephants, buffalo and antelope gather, especially late afternoon. Because the lodge lies in town, you benefit from quick logistics, nearby shops and straightforward transfers, while still enjoying immersive safari activity schedules. The position also makes cross-border links simple, with Victoria Falls reachable in roughly 90 minutes, traffic and formalities permitting. Expect practical convenience paired with classic Chobe river views.

Rooms

The property offers 66 accommodations spanning standard rooms, suites and family configurations, many facing the river. All are en suite and air-conditioned, with in-room tea/coffee facilities, television and reliable hotel comforts. Families can request interleading layouts for extra space and flexibility, while suites add lounge areas for longer stays. Décor blends light woods and neutral tones to keep interiors cool between activities. Private terraces or balconies invite quiet birding and river watching at dawn and dusk. Wi-Fi is available, and housekeeping is attentive, keeping turnarounds smooth between morning drives and afternoon cruises.

Facilities

Life at the lodge centers on relaxed river views: a pool for midday heat, casual bars for sundowners and multiple dining venues ranging from informal family options to smarter à la carte settings. Broad decks and a raised viewing area create easy vantage points for photography and birding when you are not out on drive or cruise. Activity desks coordinate game drives, boat trips and seasonal fishing, with transfers handled efficiently from Kasane Airport. The overall experience prioritizes convenience and value without losing the magic of Chobe’s riverfront wildlife, especially in the late-afternoon light.
