"We had a very short time, tacked onto the end of a conference in Livingstone. Obviously, we've barely scratched the surface.

After talking to the Muchenje people and other people on the road, the next trip will be in August, taking in Namibia and Okavango maybe in a DIY trip with 4WD. OK, dream on .."

Muchenje Safari Lodge

"Muchenje Safari Lodge - a great place to stay"

4 nights Arrived 27 Nov 2011

"We were there Dec 3-7, after the rains had started and many of the animals had disappeared into the bush. We did catch our share of lions, giraffe, zebras, one big buffalo herd, zillions of hippos and terrific bird life. Not at all disappointed.

The lodge is in very good shape. New managers, Robert and Joy, moved in less than two months ago and are busy refurbishing the place - new furniture, new bedding and a lot of work on the grounds and facilities. I remember reading somewhere that Muchenje was looking a little tired, but that's definitely not the case now.

The staff are a really nice group - deputy manager JJ, chief guide Nicko and a bunch of younger people. The place is beautifully designed and located in a spectacular setting overlooking the Chobe river. The Chinese have been busy upgrading the main road along Chobe park, so it's very quick to get to Muchenje from Kasane airport.

As far as we're concerned, it was a great choice."
