Overview of Chobe Bakwena Lodge

Botswana, Chobe National Park

Chobe Bakwena Lodge looks out over the Chobe River in northern Botswana. This intimate, family-run eco-lodge was lovingly built by hand, and offers comfort and warm hospitality in an area with one of the highest concentrations of game in Africa.

The lodge has lovely river frontage, and its unique position bordering Chobe National Park allows you to access it on game drives, but also to have a taste of life outside the park. The neighbouring local village is where you can meet the Batswana people, and experience the ‘real Africa' on visits to the community school and village.

Ideal for the responsible traveller, the lodge has heart-warming features like eco-friendly pest control (chickens that devour bugs!) and an eco-swimming pool filtered by plants. Traditionally thatched cottages have been built according to environmentally-friendly building principles, and offer cosy interiors that celebrate the local culture with contemporary flair, as well as lovely river views.

Bakwena is close enough to Victoria Falls to enjoy a day-trip to Africa's mightiest waterfall. Activities at the lodge include game viewing, boating, 4×4 drives, birding, cycling trips and village walks.

    Bakwena has an absolutely outstanding staff, friendly and efficient. All the staff at all locations were fine and friendly, but somehow Bakwena was exceptional. And we saw all that we hoped to see there, and more – wild dogs and brown hyena had not been on our list. We especially appreciated the contrast between the river safari and the land drive.
