An idyllic Lodge – This lodge was excellent and a great introduction to the wonderful country of Botswana. All the staff were friendly, smiling and very efficient, they were all very helpful and welcoming. From the second you arrive until you leave you feel part of the Bakwena family. Food was excellent and the rooms spot-less and very well appointed – particularly loved the outdoor shower !!

We were blown away by our experience at Bakwena Lodge. This was our first trip to Botswana and it was our honeymoon. We could not have chosen a better lodge to stay at! The service was phenome-nal, the rooms were top class and the food was delicious. The friendly, accommodating nature of all the staff members really stuck out for us, and we were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived. There is so much attention to detail from the rooms, to the front of house and to the presentation of the food. Our every need was catered to and we cannot thank the staff at Bakwena Lodge enough for our incredible stay :))
Your place is truly unique; the genuine friendliness of the staff from the welcome song, the handwritten cards, the little crafts as farewell gifts, to the excellent food; our beautiful cottage in a fusion of nature, eco-consciousness and sleek modern design paired with local culture – and all in the breath taking scenery of the Chobe… guaranteed not our last time in Botswana!
Our safari guide KB was very knowledgeable, a fabulous driver and always charming and a great ambassador. We all loved our stay and would love to come back. Can’t praise it enough!!!!
LODGE FACILITIES

If the frenetic pace of work has left you with no time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life like a candle lit dinner under a star-studded sky with yours truly, then you will love our romantic dinner for two on a private terrace.
Our grounds have come a long way since the original football field on the day of purchase! Now an indigenous riverine woodland we have regular visitors and permanent residents in the form of bush buck, mongoose, guinea fowl and too many birds to mention!


In keeping with our ‘Treading lightly upon the earth’ motto 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.
As far as possible we maintain a chemical free zone at Bakwena 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!
