Chobe Bakwena Lodge : Boat Cruises

Boat Cruises on the Chobe River’s abundant wildlife

Boat cruises on the Chobe River offer close-range wildlife viewing from the water. Guests travel on one of three boats operated by the lodge’s guides, who navigate the river to bring you near elephant herds, buffalo, and numerous waterbirds. The cruises provide a calm, quiet experience distinct from game drives. Options include half-day or full-day trips, with the possibility to combine river and land safaris. The dry season increases animal sightings, especially lions. The river frontage location outside the national park allows access to local villages, enriching the experience with cultural visits alongside wildlife observation.
