Hike to the top of the Falls
This is particularly for guests who enjoy severe exercise. They may disembark from the launch in the Fajao gorge for the 45-60 minute hike to the top of the falls.
Sport Fishing
A variety of fish species including the famous Nile perch, tilapia, yellow fish (barbel) and catfish among others occupy the river. More than 220 pounds/ 100kgs of Nile perch have been recorded to have been caught in this river.
It is an exciting experience to fish in this water usually done from the riverbank or from a boat at the base of the falls area.

After waking up with a cup of coffee, guests normally set out for a safari drive along the game tracks around the Chobe circuit. It offers the best chance of seeing 4 of the famous African “big 5” – elephants, lions, leopards and buffaloes. Giraffes are also notable around the lodge.
The banqueting team’s efforts of preparations and set up (the tables with the necessary cutlery & crockery, chairs, umbrella canopy, the “bush kitchenette”, and a campfire) in time at the bush breakfast site precede the guests before they arrive.
