Muchenje Safari Lodge Walking Safari

Overview

The Muchenje Safari Lodge is situated on an escarpment on the quieter, western side of Chobe National Park. Being owner run, it has a personalised and homely atmosphere. This is also reflected in the safari experience as being located outside the park, they are able to offer a variety of safari activities.

Rooms

Stay in one of the camp’s eleven stone, under-thatch cottages each of which has a private veranda and views over the Chobe River. Each room also has the extra comfort of a ceiling fan and air conditioning. The slightly larger Family suite has a large mezzanine level for a second sleeping area and with two bathrooms is perfect for a family stay.

Facilities

The extensive central area is constructed of a large thatch over split levels, divided by canvas walls, with all areas maximising the views over the river. There is a central bar with a number of lounge areas to relax in. A large dining table is the focal point for communal dining, a great place to share the experiences of the day. On an upper mezzanine level a small library offers further areas for quiet relaxation. There is a large pool with a deck and further loungers. Stepping down from the main building is the firepit located on a large deck, a great place to take in the Chobe region and all it has to offer.

Muchenje prides itself on its variety and quality of safari experiences. In addition to the usual morning and afternoon game drives they offer all day safaris with a combination of boat cruise and game drive. Game walks are also offered on the reserve as well as community visits for those enjoying a longer stay at the lodge.

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

"Back home after another fabulous holiday. The lodges were all of the same high standard of cleanliness, food quality and presentation with all members of staff helpful, friendly and as immaculately turned out as we remember from 4 years ago. The guides were all brilliant with their knowledge, enthusiasm and great sense of humour. We did a 4 hour game walk-brilliant! Again a great holiday - may well return in a few years!!"

We had a fabulous trip staying at 3 lodges in Botswana. My late husband and I were keen bird watchers and I donated his binoculars to one of the lodges there, for which they were very appreciative. Thank you for everything you did.
