Occupying a prime location in Murchison Falls National Park and only 272km from Kampala, Chobe Safari Lodge is the perfect bush retreat for a quick getaway from Kampala or the beginning of a longer adventure. Chobe safari lodge was originally constructed I the 1950’s and at that time was one of the jewels in Uganda’s crown of tourism destinations. The panoramic views of the magnificent River Nile provide a sampling of the beauty of Uganda, coupled with the ample wildlife, birds, flora and fauna. Following decades of being abandoned, the newly refurbished and restored Chobe Safari Lodge exudes elegance and energy once again. The property boasts lovely architecture and interior design. Chobe safari lodge features 36 elegant guest rooms, 21 luxury tents, 4 suites, presidential cottage and Florence Baker Family Cottage. The Victoria Nile is the main focus and all the rooms and luxury tents have balconies or terraces facing the magnificent sweeping views. Even the 3-tier swimming pool, spa and gym have panoramic views of the river.

The state of art conference centre can host up to 100 guests and is fully equipped for all business requirements, making a corporate event at chobe safari lodge an unforgettable experience.

Murchison Falls National Park is the largest National park in Uganda. Years of isolation from human contact in this area of the park, has resulted in an abundance of wildlife. The Uganda Wildlife Authority, the body entrusted with the management and conservation of the park, has opened new safari circuits in the vicinity of the lodge for our guests to view the superb wildlife in the immediate surroundings.
