Chobe safari lodge is a little piece of heaven on earth. You can see warthogs running around on the grass from the balcony. The view from Sidoudou bar was incredible. The food was 5 star- delicious. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Our safari guide Sampson (Samie) was excellent. His knowledge on the game drives was outstanding. We will treasure the memories of this safari for many years. Definitely would love to return!

Sometimes there was to much "service" - asking a little to many times if everything is or was ok.....

The food was great, and our room was an amazing experience we were staying in the bush lodge, and the staff was friendly and took good care of us, tips doe if you are not big eaters like buff eaters take three rounds of food, then we recommend the restaurant in the hotel and not the buffer it will cost you less to go to the restaurant then the buffe if you eat normal portions.

Very hard and high pillows with no other choice. Menu for dinner (A La Carte) could be updated, and breakfast was slightly better than average.

Very good value. Once the renovations are completed it’s going to be lovely. Nice to see them updating the premises.

There’s construction happening and my room was next door to a site where they started the hydraulic drill before 7am. I was very unhappy about that but the team Moved me to a room further away from the work. Food and drinks are expensive for locals.

Superb location! Love it and I have been going back for over a decade.

We should have been informed beforehand that the swimming pool was being refurbished. They had made another small pool but it was not very inviting. We should have been told or received a discount.

Staff were exceptional. Very friendly and efficient. Location was very good and game drives excellent

I think the restaurant could benefit from Kid’s menu. My daughter is a picky eater, and we really struggled to find her anything from the menu.

Out of all places we stayed within Zambia and Botswana this one is by far our favourite: 1. Really fantastic rooms with a view 2. Variety of great activities. And activity Center is simply a pleasure to deal with 3. Fantastic staff, especially thanks to Selelo for checking up regularly if all is to perfection 4. Location - close to the shop, banks 5. Loved the breakfast 6. On the upside for the future, once Safari lodge reception is renovated and the second swimming pool is open it will be simply a perfection.

Not much. But some small improvements can enhance further the experience - better lighting in the Rondavel and more electronic device charging options next to the bed. An iron and ironing board in the rooms.

I have stayed in a Rondavel overseeing the river. It has an amazing view of the river and was very close to all amenities of Kasane. Wifi is strong and was great since was on a business trip, to catch up on emails. The staff are super helpful - Monga, Baqi, Lesh, Selelo delivered excellent customer service and went the extra mile. The breakfast and dinner menu were very diverse and tasty.

The only minor thing were the sun loungers by the pool are quite uncomfortable. They are not that nice to lie on for any extended period.

Great buffet breakfast and evening meal with plenty of choice. Had the option to go across to Chobe Bush Lodge and eat from the A La Carte menu which was great. Staff are wonderful, so polite and they can't do enough for you. We had a Safari Room which had a lovely position near to the river and a decent balcony where we would sit of an evening and enjoy the sound of the hippos and watch the warthogs grazing on the lawn. There's a nice selection of activities which can be booked on arrival. The best excursions for us were the river boat trips (3hrs) where we saw so much animal life and enjoyed the most glorious African sunset on our return down river, as well as the day trip to Vic Falls. The guides on both the river boat safari and the vehicle safari are very knowledgeable and super friendly. With the Vic Falls trip, be aware that you will need to take cash (US$) for your entry Visa into Zimbabwe (at the time of our trip it was $55 per person for a single entry Visa for a UK citizen). They do not take credit or debit cards at the border. You can use your debit/credit card for your tickets into the Vic Falls National Park. The craft market opposite the entrance to Vic Falls is very pricey and you should negotiate down by a good 40% if you do buy anything. There is a small shopping centre just walking distance from the lodge where there is a supermarket (called Choppies) and ATM cash machine. I found it safe, as did others, to wander over to the centre and withdraw cash and do some grocery shopping. There are also a few little stalls along the roadside where lovely ladies sell their arts/crafts. Very reasonable prices and they will take US$ or the local currency (Pula).

The crowds at the buffet restaurant. However the ala carte restaurant was excellent.

Great room... very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Taking into account the location and the people it’s unfair to criticise anything

It’s set in the most wonderful location and provides some real luxury for a stay in the African bush

Check in was a protracted process. They messed up our payment and therefore we needed to pay another topup upon check out. Amounts did align however to booking amounts, so not an issue, just an inconvenience. Restaurant bar service is extremely slow, expect to wait very very long for drinks.

Rooms have been recently renovated, really great in room amenities. Welcome complimentary wine and sweets/biltong was a nice touch. Views over the river are unbelievable, especially during sun set hour. The boat cruise is an absolute must! Waiters are very friendly, Gosi served us most days and she was great.

It was difficult to get information re the location of the rooms for a group of 10. Also, I made a dinner reservation for 10 and they made it for 8. Once there though, the client liaison was good and helpful.

Location and the rooms had been refurbished.
