Chobe Safari Lodge: A Slice of Heaven: Part II



The interior décor is a gigantic work of art. Masterfully crafted African sculptures with grotesque expressions lend their primal beauty to the place.  An Omweso board with two heads on either side for handles sits atop a table with legs made of antelope horns.   

The animal paintings on the wall are so lifelike; one gets the impression of looking through a window at the wildlife. The soft-leather, black, dirt-brown and patterned sofas whistle as you settle down in them, so soft that one feels like they are suspended in air. Glass doors open to reveal the Nile River in all its glory; a lazy serpent zigzagging along its ancient course. Hippos grunt in the shallow riverbanks and the birds chirp in the trees, composing an orchestra of music that soothes the soul. 

Below are some of the art pieces that made my eyes roll back in their sockets: 





With all this talk that the best accommodation in Uganda can only be found in Kampala or Entebbe, Chobe Safari Lodge located in Amuru District begs to differ. The excellent service, delectable cuisine, spacious sleeping quarters with a stunning view all round and the bonus of sitting snug in the middle of beautiful African wild make this an experience one has to have at least once in their lives.
