Muchenje Safari Lodge WESTERN CHOBE, BOTSWANA


Situated high up on an escarpment in Western Chobe region is Muchenje Safari Lodge, one of Chobe’s oldest independently owned and run luxury safari lodges. Set within the Chobe Forest Reserve, it’s an easy 50-minute drive from Kasane Airport and two hours from Victoria Falls. The lodge has an extensive lounge, bar and


dining area overlooking the Chobe River and water hole. The dining area offers both separate and mixed dining, while the boma is a great venue for a bush dinner under the stars. Extensive outdoor deck areas are set


against the escarpment and enable guests to relax and enjoy stunning views across to Namibia and down the floodplains. The swimming pool and surrounding lounge area affords similar views while cooling off in the midday heat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are usually served


at the lodge, with certain excursions offering breakfast or lunch in the bush or aboard a boat on the Chobe River.


Muchenje has 10 luxury individual


cottages and a larger family cottage, each with a private deck offering views of the Chobe River. The family cottage at Muchenje offers spacious comfort, with an additional mezzanine open-plan sleeping area, which can accommodate two children. With two bathrooms and a generous deck, it’s perfect for a family travelling together. The experienced local guides have had


extensive training in wildlife-spotting and birdwatching. The lodge also has a registered and accredited bird expert on hand to enable guests to fully appreciate the rich diversity of avian life the park is home to. A fleet of safari vehicles and boats is available


to transport guests into the park to explore the magnificent region. Along with game drives and boat safaris, guests can enjoy guided walks, night drives, seasonal mokoro (a traditional canoe) trips and cultural visits to local villages.
