Description

The lodge has eight bedrooms (4 doubles and 4 family size), each with its own bathroom and private verandah overlooking the Chobe River. We are truly a garden lodge. The combination of unlimited water and constant sunshine allows hibiscus, frangipani, bougainvillea, banana and paw paw to grow in profusion. Guests love the garden and the prolific birds attracted to the flowers and fruits. The lounge and dining room are furnished in teak and wicker. All decor comes from Botswana or one of the surrounding countries. Guests have the choice of sitting inside under the thatched roof or outside by the swimming pool. Guests have the choice of either a Continental or English breakfast. Our lunches are a buffet with a choice of hot dishes, salads, cold meat and cheeses. Dinner is a set menu, however, our kitchen will happily cater for guest's individual requirements. Generally, guests sit at one table, which allows them to meet each other and often the conversation continues well after the meal has ended! A second lounge is upstairs and overlooks the Chobe River. The lodge activities revolve around game viewing by vehicle and boat into The Chobe National Park. Chobe is a hot, dry region and for most of the year the wildlife is dependent on the river for water, making for truly spectacular game drives and boat cruises. Elephants are seen in their hundreds and buffalo in their thousands. Lions are an almost daily sighting, as are impala, sable antelope, giraffe, warthog and numerous other species. Traditionally, early morning game drives and late afternoon boat cruises are safari routine; we are more flexible. We know from experience a herd of bull elephants drinks in the middle of the day before swimming across the Chobe to feed in Namibia. If guests particularly want to see swimming elephants, we are happy to change the routine by taking the boat in the middle of the day and a game drive in the late evening. This flexibility is not possible in the bigger lodges.
