Pangolin Chobe Hotel

24/05/2026

At the heart of Pangolin Chobe Hotel lies something truly special...

The centrepiece of the hotel is our wildlife photography gallery. The space from which all fourteen rooms lead, and where inspiration lives around every corner.

Featuring a carefully curated collection of images from our resident photographic guides and many of the world-class wildlife photographers who regularly visit The Chobe with their guests, the gallery is designed to do more than simply showcase beautiful photographs.

Each image has been selected to highlight different photographic styles, techniques, perspectives, and creative approaches, encouraging both budding and seasoned photographers to see the wild a little differently.

Meet the unofficial guardian of sundowners at The Pangolin Chobe Hotel!

Stretching the full length of the lounge, The Pangolin Bar is more than just a spectacular spot for a cocktail. With arguably one of the best views over the Chobe River and the Caprivi Floodplains, it’s where guests gather to swap safari stories as the sky turns gold.

And right in the middle? A formidable bronze pangolin statue, quietly keeping a watchful eye over it all.

Great views, great company, and a giant pangolin watching over your evening. What more could you ask for?

Wonderful Safari Product!

"Another great visit! Staying at the Pangolin Chobe Hotel in Kasane is a great way for my groups to start their safaris. We stay at Pangolin for three nights, Pangolin lends cameras and lenses to my guests and the photo hosts help with settings. After lunch we have a session in the editing room, further teaching inspiring photographers how to improve their photography skills. It is brilliant." HW Photo & Safaris, Tripadvisor, April 2026

Insider Tip: Just show up. Pangolin will take care of the rest.

Wildlife photography has the power to change perspectives!

Pangolin Photo Safaris was honoured to partner with Wild Shots Outreach (WSO) at the Pangolin Chobe Hotel in Kasane. Helping inspire and empower young Africans through the transformative power of wildlife photography.

Through hands-on workshops with students and unemployed youth living near national parks, the programme focused on building confidence, unlocking creativity, and deepening connections with the natural world. Importantly, Pangolin’s own photo guides are now also equipped to help continue this important work within the Kasane community long into the future.

“Photographing wildlife made me more aware of the life in the wild and how I can use photos to teach my community about the importance of wildlife conservation and the beauty they portray in nature.” — Otositwe Juta

At Pangolin, photography has always been about more than taking pictures. It’s about storytelling, conservation, education, and inspiring the next generation to protect Africa’s incredible wildlife heritage.

More than a stay, it’s a full photographic safari!

At the Pangolin Chobe Hotel, every day is built around getting you closer to the action, and capturing it beautifully.

Head out on one of our custom Pangolin Photo Boats, with shallow hulls, 360° rotating seats, and gimbal mounts designed to give you the perfect angle on the Chobe River. Or explore further afield on a Pangolin Game Drive, where every guest enjoys a window seat and bean bag camera support for those once-in-a-lifetime sightings.

And here’s the best part...No camera? No problem.

We’ve got you covered with Canon cameras, telephoto lenses, memory cards, and expert guidance from our photo hosts, all included in your stay.

Because here, it’s not just about seeing wildlife, it’s about capturing it.

Have you spotted it yet? Look a little closer, and you’ll see it.

Yes, its a stunning series of stained glass panels, coming together to form the shape of a giant pangolin. It’s no coincidence. In fact, the entire hotel is designed in the shape of a pangolin. A quiet, powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

Because here, it’s about more than just unforgettable safaris and world-class photography. It’s about protecting one of Africa’s most threatened and trafficked species.

Every small action makes a difference. Whether you purchase merchandise, enter our photo competition, or support the cause directly, you’re helping us give pangolins a fighting chance.
