The stay

A Chobe stay built specifically for photographers

Pangolin Chobe Hotel is intentionally different from a conventional safari lodge. The rooms, editing suite, camera support and safari vehicles are all designed around wildlife photography, with expert photo hosts helping guests in the field and back at the hotel.

Who Pangolin Chobe Hotel suits

It suits travellers for whom wildlife photography is the point of the trip: morning and afternoon photo safaris by custom boat and low-capacity vehicle, with photo hosts in the field and an editing suite at the hotel. Families should confirm suitability for the intensive programme. Kasane International Airport is about five minutes away.
