It is managed by a lovely couple that makes you feel at home. The social area is just amazing. The terrace with espectacular view to the river and the Chobe Park. Rooms are very spacious with all what you need to feel comfortable. Food is just great, with long tables that allows to get a chat with all other guests... More

We stayed at the Muchenje Lodge for 5 nights at the end of our honeymoon. It was the perfect way to end our trip. All the staff were friendly and helpful, the guides were knowledgable, we really felt like part of the family by the end of our stay. I was genuinely sad to leave. I'm very grateful to Joy... More

Thanks to Bobby and Joy and their team who made our stay so special! The hospitality from all the staff was very warm and welcoming. The lodge has a breathtaking setting overlooking the floodplains and we saw abundant game from our room. Our guide (Sam) was the best guide I have had the pleasure of being guided by anywhere in...

Beyond amazing. Joy and Rob were perfect hosts, and the rest of the staff were just as brilliant. The safari guides (we drove with "Lips") were super professional and nice. We had the most wonderful time, and couldn't wish for more. Highlights: Watching the sunset (with the animals all around us) with a bottle of red wine and snacks in... More

The main lodge is welcoming and open - aired with oversized leather furniture set in a thatched roof expanse of bar, living room, game room, dining, etc. The whole structure is amazing! The chalets have the main bed with mosquito net plus a sitting area and a 2 sink bathroom. All decorations are "safari" style with dark wood, leather, high... More

We had a fantastic stay here and were made to feel welcome by the managers Joy and Robert. We stayed for two nights on the 29 and 30 of December and wished we had planned a longer stay, especially over NYE. Joy and Robert are heaps of fun and we were with a lovely Danish couple from Copenhagen, Thorkil and... More

We arrived at Muchenje after a few days at The Waterberry Lodge in Zambia. We were received by the warm management, but before we had a chance to enjoy the lodge, she had informed us that there were breakins by The Namibians (as noted in another review), her 'overdrive' in how much security they had on the property, surely made...

Stayed for 3 nights at the end of November 2011 and had an excellent stay. The lodge had beautiful chalets with views, that can’t be properly described. The atmosphere was warm and cosy. The food and wines was excellent and the guides were very knowledgeable. As for the staff, there was nothing they wouldn’t do, to make your stay as... More
