We spent Christmas 2012 at the Kubu Lodge and had a wonderful time. For me the friendly approach, wonderful food, great views and comfortable rooms make this lodge a far more enjoyable place to stay than the large lodges in town (Kasane) especially when price is taken into account. We had such a good time that I am planing to... More

Kubu lodge exceeded our expectations. It is on a truly beautiful piece of land, with the old school African charm that many places lack. With great service, and the lunches are a delicious and dinner under the stars a three course set menu that was so good and special. I recommend Kubu Lodge! Enjoy a piece of paradise, and really...

Great trip. Did exactly as it said. Pleasant lodges in lovely setting, comfortable beds, nice friendly staff. Food perfectly acceptable rather than gourmet. Activities were excellent. Our guide 'King' was personable, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make it really special. Already recommended to others we met looking for a god place.

Kubu lodge has a great position and is without doubt a good looking, characterful accommodation. Set along the Chobe River amongst mature hardwoods and beautifully landscaped gardens this certainly appears to be a real jewel in Kasane. The thatched villas that all guests stay in are thoughtfully in keeping with the natural feel of Kubu and the lovely wooden deckings... More

We self drove to and from Kubu Lodge. The main entrance to Chobe is around 10 or 15 minutes away by car and not far from the Kazungula ferry, around five to ten minutes. The lodge is close to the river and has really wonderful birdlife, and has a very pleasant walk around its gardens. We also found that the... More

We spent three days (two nights) in one of the bungalows on the Kubu Lodge estate in July 2012. The bungalows are situated on a large lawn right next to the river. Hippos stroll on the lawn at night, wart hogs and small deer during the day. Monkeys or birds try to steal your food if you are not paying... More

We recently stayed for 3 nights at Kubu Lodge. We really enjoyed the entire experience from the lovely friendly staff, the game drives and cruise, the peaceful location and especially the food! Loved the 3 course dinner at night - what a nice surprise. Thanks to Sharon, Kubu's owner who made us feel very welcome and always made a point... More

Back for the third time and still up to par. Beautiful lush lawns on the banks of the Chobe river with attentive and friendly staff when you need them. Compared to the over priced lodges in the area this is true value for money and extremely relaxing.

This hotel has a lovely location on the shore of the river, with wonderful views. It's a great place to relax between safari drives in the national park. The food was fantastic!!! The rooms aren't extraordinary, but they are comfortable and the ambience of the grounds and the public areas is perfect. We highly recommend.
