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 riverfrontage, and its unique position bordering Chobe National Park allows you to access it on game drives, and 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, 4x4 drives, birding, cycling trips and village walks.
