Muchenje Safari Lodge enjoys a unique position to the west of Botswana’s famed Chobe National Park.Muchenje sits on an escarpment with wonderful views of the Chobe River, and Namibia’s Caprivi Strip and seasonal flood plains.Unusual for a Botswana Lodge, Muchenje is owner run and managed, which allows for a more personalised service.
Muchenje offers 11 newly refurbished thatched Safari bungalows, each being beautifully appointed having its own unique view of the Chobe.The bathroom is a good size with shower, toilet and his/ hers hand-basins. Each Safari Suite has a ceiling fan, wardrobe, electric safe and writing table. You also have a private, shaded veranda, from which to take in the sights and sounds.Of the 11 Safari rooms, 1 is a family unit, and accommodates 4 guests. There is a double bed and full bathroom downstairs, and a loft area with 2 single beds upstairs. This unit also works well for a small group of friends travelling together.
Guests enjoy flexibility in terms of activities, and wonderful hospitality in an idyllic setting.Muchenje Safari Lodge’s position means that it is far away from the bustle in Kasane, and guests enjoy extensive game drives in a rarely visited section of the Chobe National Park.In addition, as the Lodge is located in the Chobe Forest Reserve, game walks and night drives are also available, which add immeasurably to the wildlife experience.The lodge is easily accessed from Kasane, Victoria Falls and Livingstone, where a selection of direct flights from Johannesburg, Windhoek, Gaborone or Lusaka.A charter flight from Kasane means the Okavango Delta is a short flight away, thus making Muchenje an easy addition to your Botswana Safari.
