Greeted by lovely Joy and taken to the deck with a cocktail. An exhausting experience that begins each day at 5:30 am and ends after dinner at about 9:30 pm. 3 safaris in a day, but this is entirely up to you. We chose to safari all day. The obliging and knowledgable guides such as "Lips" . We saw just... More

Right from the moment we were picked up from Kasane airport, Muchenje Safari Lodge provided a fantastic experience - after settling us in the vehicle with a welcome cold drink, we set off on the 45 minute drive to the lodge, with the driver giving us lots of information about the area and stopping several times along the way so...

Our first trip to Botswana and we were told that the Delta was the place to go, they couldn't have been more wrong. We spent 3 nights at Muchenje Safari Lodge in the Chobe game reserve just an hour and half drive out of Victoria Falls and we couldn't have wanted for anything more, the service was excellent the food...

The lodge is in a beautiful location a little way from Chobe National Park. Our hosts Joy and Robert were lovely and the food was good. However, personally I preferred the longer safaris (Chobe closes at 6.30 pm) of the camps in the Okavango. I also preferred the uncovered vehicles, as sitting in the back of the covered vehicle your... More

You can see deer and elephants from there. the baboons will be round the corner somewhere. There are safari activities from 5 am to dusk and... More

We stayed here in early February and had a wonderful time. The accommodation is just lovely and the food is very good. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make you feel at home. We saw some superb wildlife, with more elephants in one day than we had seen in a whole holiday... More
