Muchenje Safari Lodge

Me and my partner have just spent 3days at the lodge. It was one of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed at. The first thing the staff greet you with on arrival is welcome home. On the very first afternoon we went on our first drive and spotted many animals, the guides are really good and knowledgeable. I would recommend this as a location to stay.

Muchenje Safari Lodge is set on the edge of the Chobe River near the border of Botswana and Namibia. An overwhelming beautiful setting. Our "tent" was absolutely divine, so tastefully decorated and we had a fabulous view. We quickly settled in and went for our first safari in the Chobe National Park. Many giraffes, elephants, Impala, Kudu and 2 jackals. The morning safaris start at 6am. We were successful in seeing hippos, baby elephants, many lions and baboons all before breakfast. This was a delightful place to stay. Managers Maria and Frank are friendly and available for your every need. The chefs and kitchen people produced delicious African style food. Highly recommend staying here.

Cool safari lodge in Chobe with easy and quick access to the national park for an exciting and unbelievable safari experience. The property is decent with the main lodge accommodating everyone's meals and drinks in a comfortable environment. Family-style seating area where all guests sit together for their meals vs sitting in small tables of 2 and 4. The rooms/villas are decent with mosquito nets, aircon and plenty of room to unpack if you feel the need to properly settle in. The bathroom is part of the villa and is located behind the bedroom but is not a completely separate room so privacy is a little reduced. Rooms are supplied with walkie-talkies so you can always contact the main lodge if you need anything specific or an emergency. The pool adds a little extra holiday feel where you can swim and over-look the savanna down below. Be prepared for the water to be a little on the cold side but this is quite welcome in the heat of the day. The twice (sometimes) three-times a day safari drives are fantastic. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and make the whole experience worthwhile. You should never expect to see wildlife during a safari, however, we went on 6 game drives and saw pretty much everything available from Giraffes, Elephants, Lions, Water Buffalo, Monkeys, Impalas, Zebras and many many many more.

Alojarse en Muchenje es una experiencia única. La calidez y pasión de todo el personal es realmente genial. La comida excelente, la cual se comparte con los demas huespedes y parte del personal. Realmente se esmeran para que la estadía sea inolvidable. Tips es un guía fenomenal y dispuesto a mostrarte toda la belleza del lugar. Amamos Botsuana, Chobe y especialmente Muchenje.

Muchenje is perfectly fine, with good food, friendly and knowledgeable guides, and fine views from the lodge and bedrooms. Our room (No 6) was on the small side, and quite dark, with very little space to put clothing/suitcases. We were there for our 40th wedding anniversary - sadly, the lodge manager - Frank - either forgot completely, or made no effort to mark it for us. He did provide a bottle of cava the following night (but with no card/note with a mention of the event), and the next day was covered in confusion with our departure time, with conflicting times (we were given three separate times), and didn't even manage to have the vehicle ready for us when we were due to leave! Unimpressive...... Chobe itself is stuffed with really great game viewing, though, and special thanks must go to Tips, our guide/driver, who knew everything about every animal - great guy.

A very friendly lodge run by Frank and his welcoming team. A great location to experience to explore the chobe area and we did indeed see it all. Combination of game drive and boat trip it was an amazing experience. The lodge was in a great location and the accommodation had terrific views to neighbouring Zambia. Food was great. Would really recommend this fabulous lodge.
