&Beyond Chobe Under Canvas
Chobe Under Canvas is set among well-worn elephant and game trails in northern Chobe National Park — home to one of Africa's largest elephant concentrations, large buffalo herds, and the only place in Botswana to see puku and Chobe bushbuck. The Chobe River corridor delivers dramatic wildlife theatre: elephant families, buffalo, hippo pods and Nile crocodiles, with lion and hyena on the floodplains. Proximity to Victoria Falls also suits cross-border Zimbabwe/Botswana itineraries.
The five ensuite tents (~19m²) balance rustic camping character with full service: a double bed, private veranda, ensuite bathroom with separate flushing WC, and an indoor steaming-hot bucket shower delivered on request. Guest areas are open-sided communal tents for dining, drinks and downtime, with butler service and a well-stocked bar; meals are cooked over coals and shared around the fire.
Signature activities are twice-daily game drives and a complimentary half-day Pangolin Voyager photographic river-boat safari on the Chobe River — a custom boat with individually rotating, camera-mounted chairs, available for stays of two-plus consecutive nights.
The camp has picked up several past accolades, including Condé Nast Traveler's Top 30 Resorts in Africa (2015) and Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2012 Top Spots to Glamp. Described in &Beyond's November 2025 press release as "newly refurbished."
