"Fantastic experience on Ichobezi Houseboat"
The guides were very knowledgable especially about the bird life . They did everything possible to ensure we experienced everything on the Chobe River while always seeking our input to ensure that they were meeting our needs. Guides Martin, Morgan and Vasco.
Chef Vincent prepared excellent food and even prepared a birthday cake for one of our group.
We were quite surprised at the quality and variety of food given the obvious limitations on the boat and cooking for a different culture." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 4n in Rwanda; 3n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Ichobezi Houseboats review"
"A fantastically relaxing way to see wildlife!"
We came down with shocking colds while staying here and were largely confined to quarters, however, this didn't matter as we saw masses of elephants, hippos, buffalos, impalas, crocodiles, Lady Lechwade deer and kudu without even getting out of bed due to having the (only) guest-room with its' own sliding picture windows to a deck.
An excellent alternative to spending weeks bouncing around in a safari vehicle! Would recommend everyone to include this experience in their safari itinerary." See all these reviews: 5n in Rwanda; 3n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia; 2n in Namibia
"Review of Ichobezi Mukwae"
The only area in need of improvement is the provision of some form of insect screening in the dining area in the evening. There are a number of inexpensive options on the market" See all these reviews: 13n in Botswana; 3n in Namibia
"3 days of complete relaxation"
Quirky - comfortable accommodation, nice food, friendly and well trained staff and interesting fellow travellers.
An afternoon spent reading a book whilst ensconced in the small "cold tub" on the front deck with elephants casually wading across the river in front of us will linger long in the memory.
Even managed 9 Holes at "Chobe Golf Club which our captain was only too happy to arrange for us" See all these reviews: 7n in Mozambique; 6n in Botswana; 3n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa
"Excellent: Ernest led a very good team"
"Ichobezi Houseboats review"
The staff were fantastic and food was very good. They came up trumps for Jean's birthday with champagne and cake at no additional cost. Fishing was from small boats was also very good with five out six of us catching good size fish." See all these reviews: 3n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia
"Ichobezi Houseboat on the Chobe River"
A very successful fishing expedition in the river near Kasane.
The staff were excellent. Parish and John as the guides operating the boats with Ernest in charge and Vincent the chef.
When in the small boats you get a very different view of the wild life along the river banks than from the house boat or from a vehicle on land." See all these reviews: 3n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia
"Ichobezi Houseboats review"
Harris took us on two boat drives, and he was outstanding. As well as knowing all of the birds, he managed to to get us a sunset close-up viewing of elephants swimming the river!
The two days was a great experience and a contract to the rest of what we saw in Namibia." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa
