We had a great stay at ruver view lodge! The owners and staff are fantastic and really do their best making you feel welcome (eg arranging our pcr tests, changing money for us, giving advice, etc). The premisis is clean; the rooms are nice and big. Food is good. The river cruise is a must! We would stay here again next time when we are near Kasane

I liked your food and the stay was fantastic. The location is good. The hotel delivered experiences that hopefully exceed expectations. Fundamentally, it was providing a safe, secure, clean, updated and comfortable accommodation.

Chobe Base

Reviewed By TaylorsTripping

Muchenje Campsite proved the perfect base for our stay in Chobe. Haydn and his Team's attention to detail from the chipped pathways to the swept camp sites, the little essentials shop plus all the infrastructure services of power & water really ticks all the boxes. On top of this is the lawned area around the pool plus the viewing deck when one just wants to chill. Then of course you have a magnificent view over the Chobe Floodplains and your are less than 10 kms into Chobe GR proper.

Quality not in line with price

Reviewed By Connector00689985360

We spent two night in the chine safari lodge - safari room, river view . The view is beautiful and there are improvements ongoing on the bulging infrastructure , that is good. Anyway, me an my girlfriend were unlucky . The first night we did not sleep due to wired rumore on the countertop (a potential lock animals, could happens). Indeed, rooms are not clean as they should be, see pictures below at the entrance . Not suggested; not needed to pay this lodge prices. For the same standard and quality you can definitely choose places with lower prices.

A Place To Come Back To

Reviewed By julijoyeux

Our mother daughter safari adventure began at Muchenje and throughout our time in Africa, we kept remembering this place and the people who call it home. From our first warm welcome to sharing hugs before leaving, our two night initiation into safari travel was perfect. Kiddy and Tuff are capable and helpful managers, but really, you felt like friends just enjoying their company in their home. Our safari guide, Ali, shared an encyclopedia of knowledge, stories, and his family and professional life with us as we explored the Chobe area during a morning and afternoon open air land rover ride, one night ride, and a long and leisurely afternoon boat ride on the Chobe River. This is not to be missed as the perspective of the land from the water is both beautiful and relaxing. The common lounge areas of the lodge were cozy, well-styled, and open air and family style dining was friendly and engaging. Each evening, one of the chefs introduced themselves and the meal to come…how charming! The food was delicious, filling, and always included a local flavor or ingredient and the conversations with other guests and staff made the experience even more rewarding. Afterward, the evening fire looked so inviting but the early mornings and lingering travel lag had us in our comfortable thatched roof cottage right after dinner where we slept peacefully despite the nearby elephants! Although we never lingered on our private deck to take advantage of the gorgeous view, we thoroughly enjoyed the cottage interior with every amenity…from a large rainfall shower to the soft linens on the bed. It was an unexpected pleasure to have quality perfumed soaps and hair products, a blow dryer, in room coffee/tea service, screened windows, bed netting and insect spray, a safe, and complete quiet and privacy. And, did I mention that in our short time we saw giraffe, elephant, zebra, impala, scrub hare, lion, hippo, crocodile, impala, kudu, sable antelope, cape buffalo, baboon, and birds everywhere? We will return someday and we recommend this Muchenje experience to all. (Traveled May 2022)
