Wild View Resort

"It is a perfect place to stay over for a night. The rooms are clean and spacious, staff is friendly and very helpful. We were able to safely store our caravan for two nights on their premises while we visited Lake Kariba without any hassle. Plus we had amazing Indian cuisine for dinner. Definitely recommended."

Ichingo Chobe River Lodge by Mantis

"The location of the Lodge, on a section of rapids packed with bird life, is wonderful. The Lodge is amazingly efficient, with great staff across the board. One of the highlights of our 5 days was the exceptional fishing guide. Feedback from our group indicated that they were all good but our guide, Robert, made our trip. His knowledge of bird life is encyclopedic - and he's an amazing fishing guide and great company. We were looked after at every turn: meals, drinks, snacks on every boat trip and visit to the bar, transport from the airport...simply exceptional"

River View Lodge

"After much debate we opted not to hire a car and so I emailed the lodge to ask advice about airport pick up and taxis to Victoria Falls and info on what activities were available. Shingi was quick to respond and we got everything in place before we arrived. The lodge is a little out of the way, small but lovely. Our room was exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfy. Food is ordered earlier in the day with a choice of two starters and mains, and we couldn’t fault it. Breakfast had a selection of fruit, cereal, meats and cheeses and there was the option of cooked, omelet or a special every day. Staff were friendly and helpful and we were always greeted with a smile. We enjoyed the communal set up for dining instead of everyone being sat at their own table. It was a great opportunity to talk to other guests, get hints and tips about some of the trips and to discuss where they had been and what they had seen. We booked two morning game drives and two afternoon boat trips. Matthew took us on all but one of these. He had great knowledge of the animals and we saw lion, elephants, giraffes on the game drives. The highlight for us though were the two boat trips, they really were special. Great opportunity to see elephants at play in the river and hippos going about their lives, we were also luck to capture two buffalo swimming between islands. Matthew was able to get us in close for photos whilst always being aware of the other boats and making sure we didn’t overcrowd the animals. When we come back to Botswana this will definitely be where we stay again."

Muchenje Safari Lodge

"We stayed at Muchenje Safari Lodge on the Chobe Forest Reserve October 2025. The lodge is very well managed and organised with a team of highly professional, enthusiastic staff. The welcome is very warm and genuine and we were well looked after throughout our 4 night stay. The chef and all the staff went the extra mile to help my husband celebrate his 80th birthday whilst we were there. Including great african dancing & singing. We enjoyed both the safari drives around the lodge and into the National Park and had a great wildlife experience thanks to our very capable guide, GB. He was very helpful and caring towards my husband, who has some mobility issues and did everything possible to make both the jeep and the boat accessible for us. We have two highlights. Firstly the daily boat trips we took along the Chobe River to see the stunning elephants, other animals and birdlife, and secondly, just to sit on our veranda and look out over the peaceful river below with its many fabulous visitors. We could happily spend 7-9 nights here as a holiday! Great lodge."

Serondela Lodge

Chobe Safari Lodges

"The Lodge is a great place to stay. The rooms were attractive and looked out on a lawn and the river. Wart Hogs and Bush Bucks were seen every day on the lawn. The dining room and bar both had good views over the river. We did both the sunset river cruise and game drives. The river cruises had very good captains with extensive knowledge of the animals and birds. Any birder would be excited to have so many birds identified. Saw a lot of game coming to the river including Croc, hippo, elephant, cape buffalo and several types of deer/antelope. This was a very relaxing activity and the gin and tonic made it all the more enjoyable. Our game drivers did a good job trying to find a variety of animals. We were lucky enough to see a pride of lions and a couple of different leopards. Since we were there at the end of the dry season, most of the animals were spending a lot of time near the river, but we still saw a good bit of game when we were further inland. There are a lot of game drive vehicles in the park so if there is anything of particular interest (leopards/lions) the drivers usually hear about it, increasing your chance of finding the animal. The downside is that this means a lot of trucks around the animals, but the drivers were good about taking turns to get the best views. The food was good. At breakfast (after the morning game drive) you could order a hot meal and it was supplemented with a large buffet. The fruit was fresh and the bread choices were high quality/fresh baked. A lot of misc choices as well. Afternoon lunch was available at the bar area. A limited menu, but again the food was very good. For dinner there were a couple of place you could eat. We just went to the main dining area which had a buffet. Each night there was themed option (Italian, Indian, etc), but also a lot of other choice such as stir fry, carved chicken, carved beef etc. Again the quality and quantity was good. The rooms were well put together. Air Con worked and in the hot/dry season a blessing. There were attractive mosquito nets around the bed, at night, but we never saw any mosquitos inside or outside. WiFi was good. We were in a unit that was about a 5 minute walk to the main lodge, but that was fine. If mobility impaired, try to get a closer room. Bottled water was supplied, and some very light snacks were provided. The balcony let you look out over the river and see the animals on the lawn We would stay here again if we ever get back."
