What to Do at Thebe River Lodge
Guests can enjoy a fine meal or drinks from the bar and take a swim in the inviting pool if the weather gets hot, which is common in Kasane.
There is satellite television in the bar to catch up on the latest international news or sports, and on weekends, Thebe Bar can be a popular venue for locals. Thebe can cater to large groups if required, and a continental-style breakfast is served in the dining area each morning.
Chobe Park Game Drives
Thebe River Safaris offers daily morning or afternoon game drives into Chobe National Park. All drives are in open-backed safari vehicles with open seats. Experience the stunning wilderness of the game-rich Chobe Park.
Game drives usually last about 4 hours, during which it is not uncommon to spot several of Africa's "Big Five" species. Elephants are very common, as are lion and leopard sightings. The birdlife is excellent at the right time of year (summer - August to April), with many "specials" in the greater Chobe area.
Chobe River Cruises
Take to the waters of the Chobe River on a Thebe River Safaris cruise. Depending on the number of guests, cruises are either on our large pontoon boat, which seats 40 people, or on one of our smaller aluminium speed boats, which can seat a maximum of 12 people.
Guests are welcome to bring their own drinks on the cruise and enjoy the sunset from the water. Game is commonly seen along the river’s edge, and the birding can be incredible during the summer months (approx. August - April). Elephants are commonly seen, as well as buffalo, kudu, bushbuck, hippo, giraffe, and sable.
Chobe Day Trip
For those who wish to experience Chobe National Park but are short of time, Thebe River Safaris offers Chobe Day Trips with pick-ups from either Victoria Falls or Kazungula/Zimbabwe Border.
We also offer one, two, and three-night Chobe Safari Trips for those who want a longer Chobe safari. Guests stop en route for a picnic breakfast. After the game drive, guests are taken to our jetty and embark on a lunch cruise (approx. 3 hours) on the Chobe River, where they cruise upstream into Chobe National Park. Guests depart for their return transfer to Victoria Falls at approx. 15:30 hrs.
