About the Game Lodge

Nogatsaa Pans Lodge is the only lodge in the remote Nogatsaa/Tchinga region of Chobe National Park, offering guests completely private and uncrowded game viewing. Overlooking a series of seasonal pans that draw wildlife year-round, it’s a superb choice for those seeking a quiet, immersive safari well away from the busier riverfront areas of Chobe.

Birdwatcher’s paradise: The pans attract exceptional wetland and raptor species, particularly during the green season.
