My husband and I stayed at Chobe Marina Lodge for 4 nights. Incredible food, service and venue. Morning and sunset game drives or river boat cruises displaying the best Chobe has to offer. This was our honeymoon and it was a truly unforgettable experience, highly recommend to all.

I love this place. I have been several times over 4 years and each time I discover something new. The villa style accommodation is very confortable and spacious. They are divided in half so you don't have to taske a whoile villa.They also have rooms in the main building. Wart hogs frequently roam around the lush garden. This great white... More

We had a great stay with the family. Rooms were really superb with a balcony overlooking the river. Its a smaller lodge that Chobe safari lodge. If you like a wide variety of food I would recommend Chobe Safari Lodge. Marina lodge is a lot smaller but they put effort in placing the dinner buffet outside on the lawn etc.... More

We didn't stay at the hotel but it was the starting point for a great three hour river cruise safari. We also had lunch there when we got back, which was some of the best food we had our whole trip. Very impressive buffet, including lovely potato and coconut soup, great fresh salads and plenty of main course meat and... More

The hotel is magnificent and sits along the Zambezi river with views of Namibia. That said, the rooms were very small and could use updating. Additionally, the service left something to be desired. Our refrigerator was never stocked with water (as it was supposed to, daily) and after repeated requests for water, it finally came with a 30 pula bill... More

The hotel is very well maintained and they had a complimentary native dance show each evening. They offer 2 basic tours from the hotel. One is a boat ride on the Zambezi river that offers fascinating images of wildlife. Did you know elephants can swim underwater using their trunks as snorkels? The other is a land rover ride through the... More

The facilities, views and service were world class! Our visitors were greatly impressed beyond their expectations! We travelled with two teenage kids and two toddlers but we ALL still managed...

This review is for the Park tour, not lodging. If TA would allow half points, i would rate it as a 4.5..... We booked our park thru Royal Chundu Lodge in Zambia, as that's where we were staying in the area. The first part of our visit to the Park was a boat [game] ride on the Chobe River. Our... More
