Sunbirds Chobe Hotel

This was my second stay at Sunbirds. I highly recommend it. The chalet style accommodation is very spacious and well-fitted out. Everything works well. The gardens are beautiful and full of birds. The dinner and breakfast were excellent. The Hotel is owned and managed by women, with a philosophy of emplying and developing women form the local community who have been subject to domestic violence or other disadvantage. This is an inspiring project and I wish the owner well in her exciting plans to expand and improve the hotel in the next year.

First of all, during the time of our stay some parts of the lodge were under construction. However, we did not feel many restrictions or annoying noises. The staff was extremely friendly and service oriented. We felt all the time super comfortable. Rooms were clean and room-service was provided on a daily basis. A well maintained and lovely garden made us feel even better and swimming in the pool was so nice. Breakfast (6-9 a.m.) was excellent (note: one could also order scrambled eggs or an omelette with bacon and beans). In case of an early leave e.g. for a game-drive, a take-away breakfast bag could be ordered alternatively. In case we wanted to have dinner it had to be ordered by 2 p.m. The variety of dinner was limited but very tasty and of good quality. We had for instance once a fried river-fish (forgot the sort) and lasagne (both were excellent). The lodge also offers a variety of decent wines (either entire bottle or by glass) but also Savanna Cider (😊), beer and soft drinks like Fanta and Coke. The lodge-team also organised a 3h-river safari for us (group of 6) which was very interesting, professional and to a competitive price. Note: It seems a minimum amount of 4 people is required if a longer than 3h river-safari is wished! According to the team there will be a grand opening in spring 2025. We hope to be able to visit this lovely and cosy lodge again. Lititia, Boa, Linda thank you so much for making our stay so nice.

This hotel was a last minute booking and our luck changed from the moment we arrived. The manager and her staff are delightful and will do everything they can to make sure you have the best experience. They arranged an evening boat trip, a morning safari and a nando's delivery when we realised we should have booked dinner in the morning. The gardens are peaceful, the pools clean and the warthogs cute as heck when they sneak in. The rooms are generous and very comfortable with great a/c. You need a taxi to get to kasane as this place is tucked away. Very highly recommended!
