Facilities
Your One & Only!
We have designed a swimming pool befitting of our green status. Filtered by means of plants and a bed of gravel enjoy a chlorine free dip alongside the life-giving Chobe river on its journey to the Zambezi as it creates one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Victoria Falls.
Family & Other Animals
We try to maintain a chemical free zone from treatments on wooden surfaces, choosing natural oils and plant extracts to ‘green paints’ on walls and biodegradable laundry detergents, kitchen products and soaps etc. This includes our insect patrol consisting of a number of chickens who take pest control upon themselves by nibbling on unsuspecting bugs!

OUR REVIEWS
What our quests say:
Beautiful lodge and safari
The lodge is amazing and the was really incredible. The entire staff was warm and welcoming.
Our guide Roni was the best. While we did want to see wildlife, I also wanted to see some birds. Roni was able to give us a good mix of both. He is an excellent and knowledgeable guide.
Date of stay: September 2023
Room tip: September seems like a good time to go. The bush hasn’t filled in yet with leaves so animal viewing is good.

Amazing!
We stayed two nights and had a fantastic time. I would have liked to spend another night. The game drives and river cruises were wonderful. Staff is friendly and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again if I travel back to the area. Marvelous!

Luxury comfort and amazing safaris.
An amazing luxurious stay in a beautiful lodge. Fantastic game drives and boat safaris with Max as our lovely patient guide. Delicious food and very welcoming staff and little animals roaming around the camp - especially the fun mongooses! Our room was gorgeous with a peaceful view of the river, comfortable beds and a great choice of 2 showers! Thank you to the whole team for giving us an excellent experience.
Date of stay: August 2023
Room tip: This is not in the national park, there is a short drive to it. Some parts of the park can get very busy but lodge exceptional.
