Private Guided Game Cruises Along The Chobe National Park On The Chobe River

A highlight of any stay at Ntwala Lodge is a game cruise - or two - into the famous Chobe National Park. Depending on the time of the year, the staff will advise on when would be the optimum time to take cruise, though mid-afternoon is the usual time to sight the game coming down to drink.
While elephants, crocodiles and hippos are sometimes spied in the Kasai channel on the way to the Chobe, the National Park is no more than a 45 minute journey from the lodge. It is renowned for being able to view large numbers of elephants at close range. Often when the river levels drop, visitors are treated to the sight of these magnificent creatures swimming across the river in file.
However, the Chobe is also famous for buffalo, Chobe bushbuck, puku, hippo crocodile and Roan antelope. Less frequent, but a distinct possibility, may be a sighting of lion.

The Chobe game cruise is an unforgettable experience for all visitors, especially for those keen on photography. No half-sightings here, from the waterside some incredible close-range photographs can be taken.

Private Guided Sundowner Boat Cruises

No matter whether you have spent your day fishing for tigers, enjoying a wonderful variety of bird life, seen the elephants grazing on the bank behind you or simply relaxed by the pool, there is little to beat a quiet private guided sunset cruise up the Zambezi past the village of Kalikaliga and to take time to reflect on yet another unbeatable African sunset - and an unforgettable Ntwala visit.

From USD 480 per person per night sharing (fully inclusive)
