About The Pangolin Chobe Hotel
The Pangolin Chobe Hotel, owned and managed by Pangolin Photo Safaris, is one of Botswana's premier safari lodges and the perfect gateway to the extraordinary wilderness of Chobe National Park.
Combining exceptional wildlife encounters with world-class photographic opportunities, it offers an unforgettable all-inclusive safari experience for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Perched on a plateau overlooking the Chobe River and Namibia's Caprivi floodplains, the hotel is immersed in one of Africa's most wildlife-rich landscapes. The life-giving river draws vast herds of elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles and an astonishing variety of birdlife, while every sunrise and sunset transforms the floodplains into a photographer's dream. Our custom-built Pangolin Photo Boats, moored directly below the hotel, provide unrivalled access to this spectacular ecosystem, bringing guests close to the wildlife.
Guest rooms are accessed through a wildlife photography gallery featuring the work of our resident Photo Hosts and internationally acclaimed photographers. A dedicated editing suite provides the ideal space to perfect your images after each safari.
Your stay includes luxury accommodation, twice-daily photographic activities, guidance from a Pangolin Photo Host, complimentary Canon mirrorless cameras and telephoto lenses, daily photo review sessions, all meals and drinks, return Kasane Airport transfers, national park fees and tourism levies.

Accommodation Options
Standard Double & Twin - King bedded rooms
Each of the fourteen rooms have been designed to maximise the space and provide plenty of surfaces (for cameras and laptops etc) and charging points galore. They are all en-suite and air-conditioned with safes and tea/coffee making facilities and plenty of intriguing design features.
At the hotel we have 9 king rooms and 5 twin rooms. You might have noticed from the room images the base of the beds is fashioned from concrete. This innovation means that we cant simply push two beds together to form a double. this however doesn’t matter as the twin beds themselves are both doubles meaning that each occupant of a shared room isn’t confined to a tiny single bed!
All of the rooms have a private balcony with chairs and a side table to relax and enjoy the view. The rooms are serviced daily by the hotel staff.
Dining & Cuisine
Dining
At the Pangolin Chobe Hotel we pride ourselves on our food and service, and you can be assured of delicious meals throughout your stay, lovingly prepared by our kitchen team. Your stay includes a light breakfast, brunch, high tea and dinner, together with a selection of regional wines, local beers, spirits and soft drinks.
Each day starts with a light breakfast before your morning game activity, followed by a tea or coffee stop with traditional rusks in the park. On your return, enjoy a generous brunch with daily specials and eggs cooked to order. Before the afternoon activity, a high tea with sweet and savoury treats is served.
After your afternoon safari, relax with a drink at the Pangolin Bar or around the sunken fire pit before dinner. Meals are served on the deck beneath the African sky or in the dining room, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. The Pangolin Bar offers panoramic views and some of Kasane's finest cocktails, while the fire pit is the perfect place to unwind after the day's adventures. All drinks are included throughout your stay.
Evenings are best spent around the fire, sharing stories, photographs and unforgettable wildlife encounters with fellow guests.
