Kwalape Safari Lodge

Our Story

A lodge born from the meeting of great rivers

Kwalape Safari Lodge sits on a rising escarpment along the Chobe River, just 3km from the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi — the precise point where Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe converge. From here, the lodge overlooks one of Africa's most remarkable river valleys, with the world-renowned Chobe National Park at its doorstep and Victoria Falls only 70km away.

Our safari experts guide guests through Chobe's wildlife, flora, and landscapes — from land in custom 4×4 vehicles and from water aboard boats designed for perfect river views, wildlife photography, and sunsets that rival any on earth.
