Muchenje Safari Lodge

Nice property and very friendly staff. They went above and beyond. The food was great too.

This place could not be any better! Our family absolutely loved the experience - the staff, the animals, and the lodge. Philly was our guide and he crushed it. He met with us to review what activities were available and helped us build our three day plan. We had morning game drives, a village tour, a boat safari, afternoon drives, and a night time drive. All were such wonderful experiences. And he can even make a perfect baby buffalo call... The staff at the lodge was excellent. They were all friendly and helpful - always willing to spend some time with you. Word got out that my son plays chess and he had a different opponent each night! The food was outstanding - varied, tasty, and fresh. Couldn't ask for more. Even when there was a brief utility issue everyone jumped to minimize the impact - so well handled! The lodge itself was perfect. We weren't looking for a Four Seasons experience - and we got the perfect lodge. Spacious, clean, comfortable! The rooms were spot on. I personally loved sitting in the main lodge having a beer and snacks while chatting with new friends. The quantity and variety of animals was staggering. Even in the beginning of the rainy season we saw it all. I cannot recommend Muchanje enough!

This was our last stop of our Xmas break before heading home. We were originally booked for just 2 nights but due to Cem Air cancelling our Kasane -Jo’burg flight we needed an extra night stay that the lodge kindly accommodated all 4 of us which was hugely appreciated as there is only 12 lodges. The lodge rooms are well appointed with toiletries/tea/coffee making facilities as well as a well stocked mini bar all inc in the nightly rate. Lodge views overlook the park & Chobe river & are spectacular. All meals were excellent, some dishes served directly to you & others buffet style. There are 3 game drives each day (5.30am; 4pm & a night drive around the lodge after dinner) - the guides are friendly & very knowledgeable. Great efforts were made to see our chosen animals:- 🐘 🐆 This was our 1st trip to Botswana & it won’t be our last. Thanks to all at the lodge for making our stay so memorable!

My daughter Molly and I spent time at Muchenje during our 12 day trip in October and wish we had had more time at Muchenje than other places in Africa. The camp is gorgeous, food is delicious, staff felt like family and animal viewing exceptional! Don’t miss this one!

We had a terrific 4 days, 3 night experience at Muchenje. Our ranger was able to show us a vast range of animals. The tasty buffet style meals were shared with staff and guests with lots of laughter and excitement about the next safari. The chalets were first class-well appointed and attentive housekeeping. It was a privilege to be part of this experience.

This place is run by a very sympathic couple. It's located directly at the river. The pool is not deep enough for swimming. The campsides are not at the water but it's shady and there is nice gras. The owners will help you with anything you need.
