Reasons To
Visit Botswana

  • Wetlands of the Okavango

    The Okavango Delta is a labyrinth of waterways linking secret lagoons and marshlands, where hippo splash in the water and elephants drink at the shallows. Boat trips take you to inaccessible locations and hidden islands for a glorious spot of solitude and wildlife spotting, before a relaxing sundowner drink amongst the reeds.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    On a game drive in the Delta, Linyanti or Chobe, you soon discover Botswana’s phenomenal array of wildlife. Lions are often on the prowl in the morning while night drives increase your chances of spotting leopard and other nocturnal species. As well as the cats there are thriving populations of elephant, hippo, giraffe, buffalo and even wild dog.

  • Birds

    From the water birds of the Delta to the sand grouse of the Kalahari and flamingos on the Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana is a twitcher’s paradise. Rare species like the Pel’s fishing owl, and African pygmy goose are commonly found, with a trip to Chobe, the Delta and the Kalahari offering an unrivalled level of ornithological interest.

  • Bushmen

    Bushman history is an intrinsic element in the evolution of humanity, and nowhere is this more apparent than in Botswana. Bushman communities have survived on the Makgadikgadi Pans and in areas of western Botswana for centuries. A visit there now allows you to interact with them, experiencing first hand how they cook, hunt, eat and live.

  • Mokoro Trips

    Slipping through the Delta's mazy waterways and tall papyrus in a mokoro is the most relaxing way to view game. Serenely moving along with only the gurgle of the water passing under your craft, you encounter lechwe grazing in the shallows, kingfishers perched on overhanging branches and crocodiles lurking in dark corners.

  • Salt Pans

    On the Makgadikgadi Pans you experience an ethereal lunar landscape unlike anywhere else in Africa. It is possible to see the curvature of the earth, sleep out under the stars, and at some times of the year watch a great wildlife migration. Although more thickly vegetated, Nxai and Tau Pans also offer unique landscapes and habitats.

Muchenje Safari Lodge

Chobe National Park

Muchenje Lodge is situated on the Western side of Chobe National Park and is perched high on the forested escarpment overlooking the plains below.

It is the only lodge in this area and this owner managed lodge prides itself on offering great service and unique game experiences.

The lodge accommodates just twenty two guests in eleven twin-bedded thatched chalets, all with en-suite facilities, all sited on the escarpment edge all with their own balcony and unique view. Each chalet is relatively compact but simply furnished to create a true African 'ambience'.

The central lodge offers lovely panoramic views and guests can relax in the open plan lounge and bar or relax and enjoy the views from the look out platform.

The swimming pool is built amongst natural rock formations and provides a perfect setting for chilling out during the heat of the day. Guests dine together around a large sociable table in the dining area.

Activities at Muchenje include walking safaris where you can learn more about the bush and study the behaviour of animals, plants and insects. Guests will also be taken on game drives in an open land rover and night drives are available in the lodge's private reserve. All game viewing is with qualified professional guides.

Muchenje's lunchtime river cruises are a highlight here and a great way to view the elephant herds, hippos, crocs and wonderful birdlife. Guests can also visit a local village and school during their stay here.
