{"product_id":"chobe-bakwena-lodge-35499","title":"Chobe Bakwena Lodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eChobe Bakwena is a privately owned, fifteen-chalet lodge on the bank of the Chobe River, outside Chobe National Park and a short drive from the park gate. The owners, Jenny and Adam Young, acquired the land in 2000 and replanted it with indigenous riverine woodland; the lodge has operated on that replanted ground ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccommodation divides into two types. Ten riverine chalets sit at ground level in the riverine forest, facing the water. Five treetop chalets are raised three and a half metres and sit within the tree canopy. All chalets are air-conditioned and have both indoor and outdoor showers and a private shaded deck. The family chalet sleeps two adults and two children, with the option of a camp bed for a third child. The honeymoon chalet adds a separate lounge, a standalone bath, and a large outdoor deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActivities run in-house. Seven custom-built game-drive vehicles go out on morning and evening drives into the park, and full-day drives with a packed lunch are available. On the water, guides take guests on boat cruises along the Chobe — the dry season draws large elephant herds and lion prides to the river. A dedicated cruise runs downstream to the point where Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe meet. Village tours are available by bicycle or on guided walks through the neighbouring community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe swimming pool is filtered by plants and gravel rather than chlorine. The lodge uses natural oils and plant-based products on timber surfaces and biodegradable detergents throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43808529875003,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/35499_2F1734266315937_Boma.jpg?v=1784350847","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/chobe-bakwena-lodge-35499","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
