Muchenje Safari Lodge

Welcome to the down-to-earth Muchenje Safari Lodge, the perfect Botswana Safari venue standing high up on an escarpment overlooking Namibia’s Caprivi Strip. Find it in the private Chobe Forest Reserve, west of Chobe National Park – a much quieter setting than popular Botswana Lodges closer to the Chobe Riverfront. Packages include all meals and drinks, transfers between Kasane, wildlife activities and trips to the local village. Value for money meets adventure in Africa.

Overview

The down-to-earth Muchenje Safari Lodge is the perfect Botswana Safari venue – it stands high up on an escarpment overlooking Namibia’s Caprivi Strip and onwards to the meandering Chobe River in the distance. Located in the private Chobe Forest Reserve, west of Chobe National Park and about 50km from Kasane, Muchenje Safari Lodge enjoys a much quieter setting than Botswana Lodges closer to the Chobe Riverfront.

Less luxury, more attention to detail makes this Botswana Accommodation a good choice for travellers who care. More visitors descend upon Chobe at one time than at secluded camps in the Okavango Delta which can be daunting for visitors looking for a quiet Botswana Safari. But they will be enlightened by the incredible numbers of animals gathering around water sources during June to October.

Guests will settle into a room with a view easily – 11 solid, thatched, comfortable chalets look over an unusual landscape of water and floodplains and grasslands. Rooms are separated by bushy areas acting as screens but without blocking the views and one family chalet boasts a fun loft room for two extra people.

Recently added air-conditioning adds to ceiling fans to cool rooms in summer. En-suite bathrooms feature showers and his and her basins. Sliding doors lead out onto a wooden patio with chairs and tea and coffee can be made in the rooms.

Muchenje Safari Lodge has enhanced the views by building a large, split-level, thatched, wood and stone main area where guests can sit all day marvelling at the sites below them. A central bar is a focal point near a large dining table for group meals. A small library offers relaxation and solitude while guests can buy books at the curio shop.
