The best option if you are visiting Chobe

It was a great experience. Super great location, the service was phenomenal and I really felt like I was among great friends. The best sunset is from the pool deck...at night we were visited by herds of elephants and hippo and it is just magical to watch them so close. The food....oh the food....it was incredible! I super recommend this beautiful lodge if you are visiting Chobe

Comfortable Zimbabwe outpost

This resort is located about 20 km south from the Botswana/Zimbabwe border crossing. Comfortable and spacious tent. No air conditioning but you do have a large floor fan. Was very disappointed that we did not see any wildlife from the lodge. We reserved dinner with the hosts and it was very good. A few mosquitoes but not bad. Staff and owners were friendly. I would stay here again if driving through the area.

Great Lodge overlooking Chobe River. Must stay!

Great lodge directly on the Chobe River and flood plain. We stayed in a lodge room which is actually a fine "tent" style complete with private bath / shower and kitchen. The rather large "tent" was on it's own elevated platform overlooking the Chobe River flood plain.we enjoyed dinner and drinks while watching the sunset. Glorious! And for added fun a Wart hog was a resident immediately below our deck. As it is at the edge of the Chobe game reserve Elephant were regularly seen on the road. Gated and quite safe the lodge also offers space for caravans and campers. Exceptional value. Top notch facility. Fine restaurant and a bar are also within the lodge. Say hello to Anton, the owner and the attentive staff. WiFi.

El mejor Safari de mi estancia en Botsuana

Perfecta estancia , con un servicio de Safari impresionante . La dedicación de su guía “Lucky” , su buen hacer y su pericia hicieron que disfrutásemos una mañana espectacular, nos prometió leones y vimos leones . Los hipopótamos vienen a beber al lado de la propiedad , es un espectáculo maravilloso que se puede disfrutar al lado de un fuego de campamento con una copa de vino

Sehr freundliche und engagierte Besitzer.Da der Strom von abends bis zum Morgen ausfiel, war die Dusche kalt,aber der Kuehlschrank warm.Die empfohlene Bootstour mit BigSam war super.Vorteil der Lodge ist die Lage am Ngoma Gate,wo nicht so ein Andrang ist wie auf der Sedudu Seite.

Liked: Staff & service
Die Zufahrt war katastrophal. Es wurde eine neue Teerstraße gebaut. Den Baulärm haben wir Tag und Nacht gehört. Wir hatten, weil ausgebucht, leider nur ein Wohnzelt auf dem Campingplatz bekommen. Es war o.k. Nur die Waschhalle war furchtbar. Es wurde nie gereinigt. Alles andere war gut: Sehr nette Besitzer, gutes Essen, nette Mitreisende, viele Vögel und Affen.
