"Wonderful Ichobezi Houseboats!"
The cabins were lovely, the food, thanks to Eustace, the chef, was exceptional, we all wanted to bring Eustace home with us! The trips on the river by tender, to see wild life, were all excellent. The level of comfort was very high. The scenery, covered by elephants, was extraordinary.
Everyone should have this experience.
We can't wait to go back, and for longer!" See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

Ernest and the team were fantastic! So many elephants, crocs and birds that we lost count.
Even saw some lions on our last morning." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 6n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia
"Good viewing platform for birds and animals"
Due to the very high flood levels much of the land was under water - it would probably be better to visit the Chobe river in the dry season.
We had a few problems with the outboard motors on the tender boats which threatened to disrupt the programme.
We enjoyed the company of our fellow guests but this could be a problem if you are not used to living at close quarters on a boat." See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia
"Ichobezi Houseboats review"
Although the boat can take 8 guests, this might be a bit crowded as there are only a couple of sunloungers and deck chairs.
Cabins were spacious and comfortable, though bathrooms were small (not surprising on a boat). Food was generally excellent and the self-service bar open all day.
Ernest and his crew took excellent care of us and we enjoyed both the slow cruising on the houseboat along Chobe NP and individual game-viewing trips on the tender boats. These also take you back to Kasane via some very 'interesting' immigration posts.
A lovely experience towards the end of our trip – highly recommended!
We thought 2 days was ideal though 3 might be nice – any more and you'll be repeating the experience." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Ichobezi Houseboats review"
The boat covered a smaller distance than I had expected but I don't think it mattered much. The shorter tours on the smaller boats are the best - we had Cletius as a "personal guide", he was very helpful, listened to what we were interested in and was too modest about his own knowledge."
