Muchenje Safari Lodge, Chobe National Park, Botswana
Home Hotels Muchenje Safari Lodge

Muchenje Safari Lodge

Add to wishlist Contact us

Situated within the Chobe Forest Reserve on the quieter western side of Chobe National Park, Muchenje Safari Lodge sits high on an escarpment with extensive panoramic views over the Chobe River and Caprivi floodplain.

This owner-operated camp is the only camp in the area and has 10 comfortable stone and thatch cottages and one family cottage offering a friendly, intimate, homely atmosphere. The main lodge is set under thatch and shady trees and is open-sided to make the most of the excellent views.

There are a comfortable lounge and dining area, a viewing deck perfect for sundowners, a reference library, a small gym and a large swimming pool with cool shady spots and deck chairs. Activities at Muchenje include early morning and afternoon game drives, full-day game drives, bush game walks, Chobe River cruises and village visits.

Why we like Muchenje Safari Lodge

As it is situated in the quieter regions of the Chobe Reserve it offers a more private experience than other camps in the Chobe.
