Where can I begin. The most magical beautful place in Chobe. All the staff including the guides cooks bar staff and security want you to have the best time. I didn’t want to leave after 4 memorable days in heaven. I cried many times at the experiences. I did not want to leave. Will go back in a heart beat. Prides of lions. 60 elephants playing in the water. A cheetah sitting on a log looking g right at me. Fish Eagles, hippo, majestic giraffe, herds of running zebra. The leopard evaded us but so many beautiful memories.

Me and my partner have just spent 3days at the lodge. It was one of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed at. The first thing the staff greet you with on arrival is welcome home. On the very first afternoon we went on our first drive and spotted many animals, the guides are really good and knowledgeable. I would recommend this as a location to stay.

Muchenje was exceptional! Whole staff makes you feel like family and enjoyed the community meals. Philli(sp?) was my guide and he was awesome! Great game drives experience in the evenings around the Chobe River and Chobe Natl Park in the mornings. Rambo and Tips were also really good to visit with! Entire staff was wonderful! Definitely worth coming here for at least a couple nights while in the Botswans, Zambia, Zimbabwe borders area. Wish I could have stayed longer.

The lodge prides itself on being welcoming and indeed from when you first arrive you feel like your home. The location is absolutely stunning with amazing views of the river from everywhere in the camp. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable with a special mention to GB our guide who was with us the whole time. We had some may great experiences with close encounters of so many animals and at no stage did we feel nervous. The accommodation was great, comfy bed and A/C if you needed it. The food was excellent and the chefs were very happy to cater for one of the group who required a gluten free meal, indeed they went out of there way to make great special treats for her.

Muchenje Lodge is a perfect jewel on the Chobe River. The staff were fantastic! Took many safari drives seeing 🐘 elephants, lions, cheetah,giraffe, baboons, hippo, crocs, ostrich and more! Food served was delicious and dining atmosphere warm and friendly! Special thanks to manager, Maria. Our guide was Tips and knew the area intimately and so helpful! Muller was the bartender and always had refreshments ready. Can't think of one negative!

Muchenje Safari Lodge is set on the edge of the Chobe River near the border of Botswana and Namibia. An overwhelming beautiful setting. Our "tent" was absolutely divine, so tastefully decorated and we had a fabulous view. We quickly settled in and went for our first safari in the Chobe National Park. Many giraffes, elephants, Impala, Kudu and 2 jackals. The morning safaris start at 6am. We were successful in seeing hippos, baby elephants, many lions and baboons all before breakfast. This was a delightful place to stay. Managers Maria and Frank are friendly and available for your every need. The chefs and kitchen people produced delicious African style food. Highly recommend staying here.

We loved this place and everything associated with it. Great rooms, staff, food, tour guides, location - everything! It's small, very personal and well located. Views to die for from every room, client safety obviously taken seriously. Big shout out to 'Lips' our superb game driver.

Cool safari lodge in Chobe with easy and quick access to the national park for an exciting and unbelievable safari experience. The property is decent with the main lodge accommodating everyone's meals and drinks in a comfortable environment. Family-style seating area where all guests sit together for their meals vs sitting in small tables of 2 and 4. The rooms/villas are decent with mosquito nets, aircon and plenty of room to unpack if you feel the need to properly settle in. The bathroom is part of the villa and is located behind the bedroom but is not a completely separate room so privacy is a little reduced. Rooms are supplied with walkie-talkies so you can always contact the main lodge if you need anything specific or an emergency. The pool adds a little extra holiday feel where you can swim and over-look the savanna down below. Be prepared for the water to be a little on the cold side but this is quite welcome in the heat of the day. The twice (sometimes) three-times a day safari drives are fantastic. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and make the whole experience worthwhile. You should never expect to see wildlife during a safari, however, we went on 6 game drives and saw pretty much everything available from Giraffes, Elephants, Lions, Water Buffalo, Monkeys, Impalas, Zebras and many many many more.
