Pangolin Chobe

The Pangolin Chobe Hotel sits on the plateau overlooking the Chobe River and Namibia’s Caprivi floodplains which stretch out to the far horizon. The Chobe National Park boundary is a few hundred meters away meaning that with the proximity to the gate we are more often than not the first vehicle through the gate for game drives. The boats are moored on the river directly below the Hotel and its a quick five minute transfer to get to them and then straight into the park. The Pangolin Chobe Hotel is also a short transfer from Kasane International Airport and the Zimbabwe and Zambian borders.

In the front of the hotel is the deck, where the majority of meals are served, which in turn leads to the sunken fire pit surrounded by our eco pool. The fire pit is large enough to seat a full house of guests and is a firm favorite before and after dinner. Overlooking the deck is the Pangolin Bar with arguably one of the best views of the Chobe River and Caprivi Floodplains in the region. The well-stocked bar serves up delicious cocktails, perfectly chilled wine, ice cold beers and a plethora of soft drinks and freshly ground coffees. If you’re an avid wildlife photographer, this is the place to visit.

Each of the fourteen rooms have been designed to maximize 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.
