From the moment you are greeted by hosts, Robert and Joy, you know you are in for a special experience. This is a wonderful safari lodge where everyone is made to feel welcomed. The accommodations are very comfortable, each with a small patio with panoramic views overlooking the river and the wildlife. Our guide Lips was personable, friendly and most... More

Arriving at Muchenje we almost drove into the view! The vehicle pulled right up to the reception area at the lodge, and all we could see in front was the Chobe River in flood, over to Namibia, and herds of animals grazing on the banks. What a start. The remainder of our stay did not disappoint. We were a party... More

Our stay at Muchenje was fabulous. Robert and Joy were our hosts and they were both wonderful. Special thanks to Ocean, our guide, Lipps and Nick for making our trip so memorable. The Lodge was outstanding and the staff was great and the food was wonderful. Drinks on the deck and our thatch hut overlooking the Chobe river was an... More

Greeted by lovely Joy and taken to the deck with a cocktail. An exhausting experience that begins each day at 5:30 am and ends after dinner at about 9:30 pm. 3 safaris in a day, but this is entirely up to you. We chose to safari all day. The obliging and knowledgable guides such as "Lips" . We saw just... More

Right from the moment we were picked up from Kasane airport, Muchenje Safari Lodge provided a fantastic experience - after settling us in the vehicle with a welcome cold drink, we set off on the 45 minute drive to the lodge, with the driver giving us lots of information about the area and stopping several times along the way so...

Our first trip to Botswana and we were told that the Delta was the place to go, they couldn't have been more wrong. We spent 3 nights at Muchenje Safari Lodge in the Chobe game reserve just an hour and half drive out of Victoria Falls and we couldn't have wanted for anything more, the service was excellent the food...

The lodge is in a beautiful location a little way from Chobe National Park. Our hosts Joy and Robert were lovely and the food was good. However, personally I preferred the longer safaris (Chobe closes at 6.30 pm) of the camps in the Okavango. I also preferred the uncovered vehicles, as sitting in the back of the covered vehicle your... More
