Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero

This is truly a 5 star resort. From the common areas to the spa, to the restaurant, our room - which was almost as big as an apartment, the game drives and boating, everything was spectacular. I had to have lactose free the whole time and Chef Phinaeus was more than accomodating. He is kind and the food is better than most Michelin restaurants I've eaten in. I can't remember everyone's name but Ishmael - dining room - and made us an incredible bubble bath, Eric, Nchunga in the bar, Vee in the spa, Frank, and Horato one of the managers, just to name a few, made our stay the BEST. Oh and not to foget Lets our wonderfull guide.

We had an amazing time. From the very warm staff welcome to the service, cleanliness of our room through to great dining and fantastic activities. All the staff were so accommodating and happy - nothing at all was too hard. Our guide, Innocent, gave us life long memories including the evening cruise watching elephants grazing, hippos, buffalo, impala and crocodiles and the beautiful African sunset. |We highly recommend Chobe Chilwero!

Great place to stay, next to Chobe National Park. The rooms were lovely, with mosquito nets around the bed, large bathroom, plenty of space in the rooms to relax. The camp has a small pool and spa, which is excellent. We were able to do an evening river cruise on the Chobe river and game drives. Our guide, Herbert, was very knowledgeable.

Beautiful and spacious rooms and a great location overlooking the Chobe River. Wonderful service from Johnson, Thapelo and the rest of the team. Our guide Lets was extremely knowledgeable, looked after our every need and was very hospitable. Highly recommended !

This lodge strives to give personal service. The rooms have everything you need for a 5 star stay. The staff are really well trained but they are so genuine and nice and want to give you the best service. The game drives were amazing although the big cats are few and far between. What makes this place so special is the river. We have travelled numerous countries for safaris but this place gives a great experience seeing the animals from the riverside. The lodge really mix up your experiences by both land and river safaris which are exceptional. We are well travelled but we found this lodge to be one of our best experiences. Take time to use the Spa, the treatments are reasonably priced but the experience is better than we have received in other worldwide location. Our guide Letts was one of the best we have ever experienced. This place deserves to be put at the top of locations to stay.

we had already been on holidays and this was our last safari destination. the location was nice and the staff was super friendly. we even manage to get laundry done in under 4 hours, really need for thank Beatrice and her team. Stanley was a wonderful guide and we saw some magnificent animals, highlighting watching a pride of lions planning and attacking water buffaloes, sadly our time there was too short. crossing the border into botswana from zimbabwe can be tedious, so next time, we can spend more time in Botswana. The food in the resort was excellent, well presented and nicely planned, only negative was the lamb chops at BBQ but that’s being picky. we hope to be back.

This was an extremely plush accommodation, our room (and the whole camp, really) was so spacious and luxurious! After several days in the bush it was quite a welcome surprise to be treated to Chobe Chilwero's many indulgences (spa! air conditioning! so, so much good food and wine!) The meals were diverse and sumptuous and the staff were funny, warm, and welcoming. Our guide Tim was spectacular and went out of his way to ensure I had a magical experience with the elephants during river and game drives. I can't say enough good about this place, every aspect was 5 stars.

This was the third, and final, of our three stays in Sanctuary Retreat Camps (each for three nights) and this time we were in a Pool Suite with a private plunge pool; we had a dip every afternoon and it was ‘refreshing’ and wonderful. We did, however, ‘share’ the area from time to time with the many baboons; quite hilarious antics.||Our accommodation (no. 1) was excellent with a/c and fans, huge bathroom with a deep bath, and plenty of hanging/storage options. There was a terrace overlooking the pool and huge garden area with sun loungers and seating area. Fabulous. The only downside was the power to our Pavilion went out on our first night (no a/c, fans or lights) and it took some time the next day to fix.||As we had now moved on from the Okavango Delta to the Chobe River area, everything was more green and lush, and the gardens around the Pavilions reflected this. There was a lovely two-level general pool and a winding path from our Pavilion to the general area. Again, as this is not fenced, it is necessary to be escorted after sunset to/from the room/general area.||The general areas were large with lovely wooden floors and good dining and seating options. There was also the traditional Braai area.||We went out with Tim for one Jeep safari and two boat (one included an excellent lunch) trips and it was wonderful to see so much green around the River. So many elephants, water buffalo, hippos, water birds, etc., etc.||This was a lovely stay although we felt that the standard of service and staff friendliness, was less than we had experienced in the other two Sanctuary Lodges.
