This is a must do if you are heading to Africa. The most amazing lodge and it is totally catered to each guest personally. My husband is a keen fisherman so our guide Raphael took us tiger fishing and we caught 6 in one afternoon. Amazing. I chose to do some game viewing so Raphael took us cruising up to... More

We had the pleasure of spending 2 nights at Inchingo River Lodge and couldn't have been happier. The tent accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the staff was exceptional. We had our own private guide, Felix, who was personable and knowledgable. Our small fast boat allowed us to pull right up to the shore and get very close to all... More

This lodge was definitely one of our favorites. After having been 2 weeks in the sand dunes we thought we had landed in paradise. The lodge was charmingly rustic and relaxing and even better was the owners actively participated in the happenings. At the community dining the most interesting people were present. Lots to see and do here. friendly staff... More

What a great little find. Tucked away at the confluence of the Chobe & Zambezi river, this tented camp site with all the modern amenities was a wonderful place to disconnect from the outside world and truly unwind from the frantic pace of life. Ralph was a wonderful host who really made us feel like second family and the staff... More
