Muchenje Safari Lodge
"Muchenje Safari Lodge review"
The service is excellent, a perfect combination of luxury and friendliness. The views over the plains towards Namibia is outstanding.
Highly recommend the whole day safari, including a boat trip on the Chobe River. Also the night drive near the lodge is a good addition to your stay. The volume of wildlife next to the river is very high.
Enjoyed the expertise of a knowledge, experienced guide."

Kanana
"Kanana review"
Excellent food, I particularly recommend the Kudu.
It is great being so close to the wildlife - only a few minutes from the lodge (as is a private concession). We recommend spending a night in the Sky Bed as well as a trip on the Moroko canoes. Knowledgeable guides.
Highly recommend."

All the staff were very welcoming and helpful, ensuring that you felt special. The central area by the water is a lovely place to eat and relax.
A good variety of wildlife can be seen on the game drives and the guide was knowledge."

Acorn House
"Acorn House review"
The staff were helpful and welcoming, providing advice and help when we needed it. Breakfast is excellent and varied. They only start serving at 8am, but were very accommodating in providing us an early breakfast and packed lunch when we had an early start.
There is a spacious lounge for relaxing in and a good choice or reasonable priced refreshment available"
All the staff were very helpful and welcoming, ensuring we had a lovely stay. The Lodge is very peaceful but ideally located to visit the falls.
We enjoyed watching the wildlife from our balcony.
Would particularly recommend the early morning boat trip on the Zambezi and dinner at the restaurant."
