Muchenje Safari Lodge is perched atop an escarpment on the tranquil western side of Botswana’s Chobe National Park. Offering spectacular views of the Chobe River and the seasonal floodplains, its location ensures a peaceful retreat away from the busy Kasane area while being only a two-hour drive from the stunning Victoria Falls.
Children 8 years and older are welcome. Children under 8 on request in Low Season.
Families with children between 8 – 12 years old will need to book a private vehicle for their safari.
Minimum age for walking and mokoro is 12 yrs and is at the discretion of the management and guide.
One family at any one time only – only 2 triples in standard rooms permitted at any time.
Muchenje’s main lodge features a spacious lounge, bar, and dining area with views of the Chobe River and our waterhole.
While the dining area centers around a communal dining experience, guests have the option to dine privately. For a more intimate setting, there's a pergola by the pool.
They offer a Bush Braai (barbecue) in a boma situated in the bush, close to the lodge.
Our chefs prepare delicious and diverse meals, accommodating vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
Extensive deck areas provide guests with a relaxing space to enjoy the scenery.
They are ideal for watching the African sunset with a cold drink or stargazing around our fire pit.
The swimming pool, open year-round, overlooks the floodplain.
Accommodation
Muchenje features 10 private thatched cottages and a larger family cottage, each elegantly designed with a unique view of the Chobe floodplain.
The family cottage provides ample comfort, featuring an additional mezzanine open-plan sleeping area that can accommodate 2 children. With 2 spacious bathrooms and a large deck, it is ideal for families or groups of young friends traveling together.
Unwind on your deck and bask in the sun while observing animals grazing on the plains below.
Unlimited safari activities, full day Chobe excursion including river cruise, night drives, guided safari walks, mokoro trips (water levels permitting) village trip; and all meals, all drinks, park fees, transfers to & from Kasane airport, laundry and government tax.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
