Muchenje Safari Lodge

Located in the Chobe Forest Reserve, to the west of Chobe National Park and about 50km from Kasane, Muchenje Safari Lodge sits high on an escarpment overlooking a seasonal floodplain and onwards to the river in the distance. Muchenje isn’t as luxurious as many of the lodges in the Okavango Delta, nor does it try to be; the lodge has a down-to-earth feel. It certainly has the advantage of a much quieter location than the lodges further east on the Chobe Riverfront.

Our view of Muchenje Safari Lodge

Whilst the Chobe Riverfront as a whole is a busy area, Muchenje is one of our favourite lodges here. It won’t be to everyone’s taste; if you are looking for luxury then there are better options, but for knowledgeable guiding, hospitable hosts, great views and a relaxed atmosphere all set within comfortable surroundings then we’re happy to recommend a stay at Muchenje for a few nights, ideally at the beginning of your trip.
