    Enjoying nature in a beautiful setting.

    Liked : The lodge was located in a beautiful setting. The rooms were well-equipped rooms. The staff were so friendly and very helpful. The food was also very good. I like the option of adding on activities rather than the traditional safari all-inclusive as it allowed more time to relax.

    Disliked : No complaints!

    • Double Chalet
  • ZoeUnited Kingdom · Sep 2, 2024 8Very good

    Liked : It is a beautiful setting, staff were exceptional, room was clean. On the downside, it is a bit far out (but when you book a trip they collect you), also the menu for dinner & breakfast was very limited. It was great that you could keep filling your water bottle from their dispenser.

    Disliked : Limited menu.
    Pool looked revolting

    Fantastic experience in Chobe

    Liked : Great location for exploring the Chobe region. Our room was clean and comfortable, we took advantage of the pool as well as the various activities on offer (including safaris, boat cruise and Victoria Falls day trip). The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as enjoyable as possible, in particular Sofia, Unity and Matthews.
