Review of Chobe Marina Lodge, Kasane, Botswana

We are walking amongst the trees! It’s an incredible lodge and as my friend, Jen, said, it’s like we were the Swiss Family Robinson.

We heard this lodge was built to be a timeshare. It never took off so now it’s a successful lodge. Comfortable rooms with mosquito nets and a separate living area. Bathroom has all the amenities you need – shampoo, shower soap, mosquito repellent, vanity kit, bar soap, etc.

Pictures do not do this lodge justice. You have to see it to understand how special it is but here are a few!

Only 10 minutes from the Chobe National Park, it also has its own boat dock. Therefore, the two times we left by boat we simply had to walk down the ramp!

We ate all meals here. I enjoyed the salad bar — I know it was chancing it with my stomach but they clean the food very well. I used bottled water when brushing my teeth, though. Meals were good and some were better than others. The stir fry night was outstanding as was the BBQ out by the pool. The people were so gracious, kind, and helpful! In fact, ALL the people we encountered in Botswana were extremely welcoming…especially Hero, our boat/vehicle local guide with African Odyssey. Hero, thank you for making our game drives so unique and memorable.

We had a balcony and could watch the warthogs, banded mongoose, and vervet monkey on the grounds. We always saw the sun set from Chobe National Park but the after effects and the colors stayed in the sky and we admired it from our balcony.

I would come back to Chobe Marina Lodge! In a heartbeat.

(Pictures soon – I don’t have great WiFi right now)
