We spent 2 days on the houseboat (after 12 nights camping in Botswana). Such a peaceful relaxing experience to spoil ourselves. Seeing Chobe from the water was fantastic and a different experience. Staff were so professional and the food - yum...was great

We couldn't have asked for a better time. The location of the lodge was perfect. We landed in Kasane at 14:00 and was on the water fishing at 16:00. The staff, rooms and food was fantastic. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking to fish or do river safaris. Location and relaxing... couldn't beat it.

Stayed 4 nights on this river boat hotel with my wife, as part of an AmaWaterways tour of southern Africa.This boat has ample rooms with large Windows overlooking the river and either de Namibia or the Botswana shore. They offered us several river safaris to see crocodiles, hippos, elephants, birds and all kind of wildlife that dwells in the Chobe National Park.We also had a full day 4x4 safari of the park with a picnic lunch included, in which we were able to see lions, giraffes and zebras. We also visited a local village in Namibia where we had the chance to see how this people live.
Service on board was great. Staff was very friendly, kept our room impecable and served gourmet style food, both for lunch and dinner.

Room tip: Rooms towards the stern of the boat have better wifi
