Great buffet breakfast and evening meal with plenty of choice. Had the option to go across to Chobe Bush Lodge and eat from the A La Carte menu which was great. Staff are wonderful, so polite and they can't do enough for you. We had a Safari Room which had a lovely position near to the river and a decent balcony where we would sit of an evening and enjoy the sound of the hippos and watch the warthogs grazing on the lawn. There's a nice selection of activities which can be booked on arrival. The best excursions for us were the river boat trips (3hrs) where we saw so much animal life and enjoyed the most glorious African sunset on our return down river, as well as the day trip to Vic Falls. The guides on both the river boat safari and the vehicle safari are very knowledgeable and super friendly. With the Vic Falls trip, be aware that you will need to take cash (US$) for your entry Visa into Zimbabwe (at the time of our trip it was $55 per person for a single entry Visa for a UK citizen). They do not take credit or debit cards at the border. You can use your debit/credit card for your tickets into the Vic Falls National Park. The craft market opposite the entrance to Vic Falls is very pricey and you should negotiate down by a good 40% if you do buy anything. There is a small shopping centre just walking distance from the lodge where there is a supermarket (called Choppies) and ATM cash machine. I found it safe, as did others, to wander over to the centre and withdraw cash and do some grocery shopping. There are also a few little stalls along the roadside where lovely ladies sell their arts/crafts. Very reasonable prices and they will take US$ or the local currency (Pula).

The only minor thing were the sun loungers by the pool are quite uncomfortable. They are not that nice to lie on for any extended period.

We have stayed there many times before, so knew what to expect with regards to location, meals etc. The game drives and boat trip were both lovely. The rooms at the bush lodge are very well appointed, I loved the bathroom set up. The staff were all very helpful and friendly.

I had been communicating with the safari lodge since we made the booking in August as we had requested a specific rondavel. At no time in any of our messages did the booking person advise us that the safari lodge was actually under renovation, so no reception, restaurant or swimming pool were available. Daniel, the manager was a star and took the issue in hand. He showed us the room we had requested, which was now a long walk from all the bush lodge facilities, and then he showed us a room in the bush lodge which we accepted instead. It was actually quite quiet while we were there, but the bush lodge pool is quite small, so not sure how they will cope when busy.

The room which was quiet and facing the Chobe river was impressive and satisfactory. The quality of the food and service at the restaurant was above average. The staff, especially in charge of safari and boat cruise were friendly and attentive.

We learned about the renovation of the pool and main hall only when we arrived. As a matter of fact, the pictures of the pool and main building was one of the reason we have chosen this hotel. It is highly recommended to inform precisely in advance about the renovation who booked or about to book, otherwise one will feel that availability of the facility is under expectation.

Out of all places we stayed within Zambia and Botswana this one is by far our favourite: 1. Really fantastic rooms with a view 2. Variety of great activities. And activity Center is simply a pleasure to deal with 3. Fantastic staff, especially thanks to Selelo for checking up regularly if all is to perfection 4. Location - close to the shop, banks 5. Loved the breakfast 6. On the upside for the future, once Safari lodge reception is renovated and the second swimming pool is open it will be simply a perfection.

I think the restaurant could benefit from Kid’s menu. My daughter is a picky eater, and we really struggled to find her anything from the menu.

Chobe safari lodge is a little piece of heaven on earth. You can see warthogs running around on the grass from the balcony. The view from Sidoudou bar was incredible. The food was 5 star- delicious. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Our safari guide Sampson (Samie) was excellent. His knowledge on the game drives was outstanding. We will treasure the memories of this safari for many years. Definitely would love to return!

The food was great, and our room was an amazing experience we were staying in the bush lodge, and the staff was friendly and took good care of us, tips doe if you are not big eaters like buff eaters take three rounds of food, then we recommend the restaurant in the hotel and not the buffer it will cost you less to go to the restaurant then the buffe if you eat normal portions.

Sometimes there was to much "service" - asking a little to many times if everything is or was ok.....

The rooms were beautifully decorated with a spacious and elegant ensuite. We enjoyed sitting on our balcony watching the warthogs, baboons and occasional buck wandering around on the grass near the river. The dining and sitting areas of the Safari Lodge overlook the swimming pool, the Chobe river and Namibia in the distance - a spectacular view, especially as the sun sets. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They efficiently organized a variety of activities such as a visit to Vic Falls, boating on the river and a trip into Chobe National Park. The guides on these outings were very knowledgeable and eager to give one a good experience. Overall we had a wonderful stay.

We stayed in Chobe Safari Lodge for 5 nights and we got a bit tired of having the buffet dinner every night even though it did change a bit. However we discovered that the Chobe Bush Lodge, which is just behind the Safari Lodge and on the same property, does a la carte meals and is happy to take bookings from people staying in the Safari Lodge.

Rooms have been recently renovated, really great in room amenities. Welcome complimentary wine and sweets/biltong was a nice touch. Views over the river are unbelievable, especially during sun set hour. The boat cruise is an absolute must! Waiters are very friendly, Gosi served us most days and she was great.

Check in was a protracted process. They messed up our payment and therefore we needed to pay another topup upon check out. Amounts did align however to booking amounts, so not an issue, just an inconvenience. Restaurant bar service is extremely slow, expect to wait very very long for drinks.

From the time we arrived at the property we were treated so well. Staff were always extremely helpful and friendly. Room was spectacular with the most amazing view. The private boat cruise was unforgettable. On arrival we were surprised with a bottle of champagne and snacks as we were celebrating our anniversary- such a special touch and treat. Will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone.

Breakfast was very similar each day, perhaps some more choices like croissants, French toast and hot trays to keep the food warm on the buffet as most of the hot food were only luke warm. This is not a complaint- purely a suggestion as we still enjoyed it

I have stayed in a Rondavel overseeing the river. It has an amazing view of the river and was very close to all amenities of Kasane. Wifi is strong and was great since was on a business trip. The staff are super helpful - Monga, Baqi, Lesh, Selelo delivered excellent customer service and went the extra mile. The breakfast and dinner menu were very diverse and tasty.

Not much. But some small improvements can enhance further the experience - better lighting in the Rondavel. An iron and ironing board in the rooms.
