Chobe Game Lodge Restaurant — African / International, Kasane
Chobe Game Lodge is Africa's most celebrated waterfront lodge — the place where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton married (twice) and where three generations of discerning travellers have come to experience the Chobe River's extraordinary wildlife in maximum comfort. The dining room maintains a standard commensurate with this legacy.
The kitchen produces a menu that reflects the southern African bush tradition at its most refined. Game meat — kudu, impala, and springbok from the surrounding concessions — appears alongside Chobe River bream and Botswana beef in preparations that demonstrate classical technique applied with African intelligence.
The signature experience is the sunset dinner cruise on the Chobe River — a dedicated boat with a set menu served as elephant herds cross the river ahead of the vessel and hippos surface alongside. No other dining experience on earth combines this quality of wildlife spectacle with this quality of food.
The wine programme draws from South Africa's Cape wine regions with authority — Stellenbosch and Franschhoek bottles selected with specific understanding of what works alongside game meat. The sommelier's game-meat pairing recommendations are genuinely valuable.
Best Occasion: Perfect for Proposals
Elizabeth Taylor's wedding venue — twice. The sunset cruise with the Chobe's wildlife as backdrop is one of Africa's most genuinely unrepeatable romantic experiences. The lodge's event team will ensure every detail.
Best Occasion: Best for Impressing Clients
Chobe Game Lodge carries the kind of legendary status that communicates to any client, anywhere, that their host has exceptional taste and the means to back it up.
