Chobe Under Canvas

Chobe Under Canvas captures the true spirit of adventure in Botswana’s Chobe National Park. This exclusive mobile camp brings you as close to nature as possible while offering comfort and warm hospitality. Set in the northern reaches of the park, near the Chobe River, the camp sits in one of Africa’s best wildlife areas. Here, elephants and buffalo gather in great numbers, and predators like lions and leopards are never far away. You’ll fall asleep to the sounds of the wild and wake up to the call of African fish eagles.

The camp features just five spacious tents, each with an en-suite bathroom, a flushing toilet, and a hot bucket shower. The experience is simple yet luxurious, a perfect blend of comfort and authenticity. A private butler, hearty meals cooked over open flames, and friendly staff make you feel at home in the heart of the bush.

Chobe Under Canvas is a chance to disconnect completely. There’s no Wi-Fi or electricity, just raw nature, good company, and unforgettable moments around the campfire. Whether it’s tracking wildlife on a game drive or cruising the Chobe River on a photographic safari, every day brings a new adventure.
