River View Lodge

Tudo excecional. Excelente base para visitar o Chobe e todas as atividades associadas. Contavamos apenas ficar para dormir, acabamos por fazer tudo no Lodge, desde os jantares, às actividades! Têm jipe para safari, camião e barco! Por isso, oferecem uma experiência personalizada, de qualidade e a valores muito competitivos quando comparados com as agências. A comida também excecional, não só no hotel, mas também a servida nas atividades. A simpatia genuína de todos os funcionários, vira certamente também dos proprietários, que fazem de tudo para que se sinta bem. Se pensa visitar o Parque Chobe, não hesite: reserve no River View Lodge - só terá que desfrutar das suas férias, sem mais nenhuma preocupação!

As a family of six, (three generations) we spent five wonderful days at River View Lodge enjoying this intimate, well run little oasis on the banks of the Chobe Tover Our accommodation was extremely comfortable, each room tastefully decorated and thoughtfully furnished. The meals were delicious and generous. We enjoyed relaxing while enjoying a great view of the Chobe River from the open lounge area or around the pool. The game drives and sunset cruises were well organised and enjoyable with the Rangers doing their best to show us as much game as possible . We can fully recommend this amazing Lodge and look forward to a future visit. Our heartfelt thanks to Sofia and her friendly staff who went the extra mile to ensure that we all had a good time both before our visit and during our stay,

I absolutely loved staying at the River View Lodge. The staff is amazing and SO helpful. The lodge itself is small but very lovely - right on the river,with a nice outdoor lounge area and small pool. The food was great and so much better than I expected for a place its size. Aside from the awesome staff, the best part is the activities offered. On the morning game drive we saw lions, leopards, zebras, and much more. The late afternoon river cruises were relaxing and exciting at the same time, with great views of hippos, crocs, and of course, lots of elephants. I strongly recommend staying here and taking advantage of the wonderful property and activities.

We loved our stay at the Chobe River Lodge!! I came here with my husband as the last stop on our honeymoon after previously staying at 2 lodges that were on private reserves. What I would say is, don't judge a book by it's cover. Driving up to the hotel, we were not expecting to be so close to resident homes and a bit off the beaten path. But it really is a lovely hotel! Really clean, renovated nice rooms, and wonderful staff! They offer breakfast, a late lunch, and dinner every night .The dinner seating is communal so every sits around 7:30 to eat together after their final game drive or river cruise for that night. They went above and beyond one night when the options were pork or lasagna and I don't eat pork or cheese so they made me something else that I was able to eat which was so nice! Then the next day at lunch I found a small pasta dish that was made specially without cheese. It was such a nice detail that was unnecessary but so accommodating. We took a game drive with John and he was by far our favorite guide of our entire trip. We couldn't believe how much he knew!! For example, all of the cars were gathering to see a couple of lions in the field. When the lions walked away, he told our car that we should stay and wait it out because those lions are going to go on a hunt soon. He told us that patience would be rewarded. So we waited about 10 minutes and LO AND BEHOLD the lions started to actually hunt the buffalo!! And then at each step he would tell us what was going to happen before it happened - the lion would try to separate the pack, they wouldn't go for the buffalo on the end because they were too strong so they'd go for the 2nd one that looked weaker (I still don't know how he knew that), etc.) He was exceptional. We can't stop talking about our drive with him. Overall, great lodge with great staff that won't break the bank!

We loved River View Lodge beyond expectation. An incredibly customer-oriented staff showed us our room (little house), that combined atmosphere and practicality. Everything was so well thought of: electrical plugs, storage for bathroom necessities, etc. Already the first evening we saw hippos and warthogs behind the fence, right in front of our terrace. River View Lodge is a place we definitely want to revisit!

A lovely peaceful place to stay. Friendly staff. Excellent boat trips on river where the game is unbelievably plentiful. Good guides. Game drives in early mornings by all included. Nice food. Comfortable rooms. All day coffee and chilled water. Lovey place to explore Chobe game reserve.
