Spacious en-suite walk-in tents, gourmet cuisine, house wines with dinner, sundowners on the Chobe River. Adventure and comfort are not mutually exclusive – this safari proves it.
The Chobe Semi-Luxury Camping Safari answers a specific question: is it possible to sleep inside Chobe National Park without roughing it? The answer is yes – and the answer is this safari.
Spacious canvas walk-in tents with en-suite bathrooms. Plush bedding, real towels, proper pillows. Gourmet cuisine prepared fresh each day by a dedicated camp chef. House wines served with dinner under the stars. Morning coffee delivered to your tent door before the dawn drive. And then – exactly the same Chobe: 120,000 elephants, lions at first light, the river cruise, the fireflies, the Milky Way.
The tent: A spacious canvas walk-in tent (approximately 3m × 4m floor space) with a proper camp bed, high-quality mattress, plush bedding, and real pillows. Not a dome tent – a proper standing tent.
The bathroom: Each tent has an en-suite bush bathroom – a private canvas-enclosed area containing a portable flush toilet, a hot-water safari shower (heated by a wood fire burner), and a proper washbasin with mirror. You shower with hot water. At a bush campsite inside Chobe National Park.
The food: Your dedicated camp chef prepares all meals fresh. Breakfast is a full spread – eggs cooked to order, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast, fresh fruit, freshly ground coffee. Dinner is a gourmet bush affair – a starter, main course (typically game meat, beef, or fish), and dessert. House wines included.
The service: A camp crew of 3–4 people manages the camp, cooks, sets up and breaks down equipment.
