Destination Information

Serondela

The Serondela area is situated in the extreme North East of the Chobe National Park, and is the major area for tourism, based mainly out of Kasane, which is the small town, overlooking the Chobe River, and bordering the Park.

It is here that the larger properties are found, such as Mowana Safari Lodge, Chobe Marina Lodge and Chobe Safari Lodge. All three of these properties are on the banks of the Chobe River itself. The only lodge actually inside this area of Chobe National Park is Chobe Game Lodge, which overlooks the Chobe River, whilst Muchenje (to the west) and Chobe Chilwero (to the east) are just outside the Park.

Serondela was originally home to a small timber industry, traces of which are still visible. There is now 1 tarred road in the Park, as it acts as the main access from Kasane to the Namibian border at Ngoma. Otherwise, as the Park enjoys good River frontage, boat cruises are popular for site-seeing and game viewing, although all of the lodges also offer game drives.

Have look at the following Chobe camps and lodges as an option to stay at - or at the exquisite tours we have put together...
