Ichingo Chobe River Lodge by Mantis 3,5 stelle

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Aufenthalt. Wir waren für 2 Nächte in der River Lodge. Sie ist wunderschön gelegen am Fluss, absolut abgelegen und ruhig. Die Zelt-Bungalows sind schön und ebenso das Haupthaus. Das tollste ist dass man nur mit dem Boot hinkommt und sich auf einer Insel befindet, was sich anders anfühlt als ein Platz wo man mit dem Auto hinfährt. Die Pirschfahrten per Boot, der Besuch des Dorfes und die Angelfahrten haben alle viel Spaß gemacht. Das Essen ist sehr gut und das Personal war ausnahmslos extrem freundlich und bemüht dem Gast alle Wünsche zu erfüllen.

My family and I spent three adventorous days at Ichingo Chobe River Lodge and made memories that will last a lifetime! We were touched by how kind the staff were to our children, aged 7 and 12. Nothing was too much trouble for Cassius, our host and Robert, our personal guide. The food was abundant and delicious, the tents were well-equipped and there were lots of activities to choose from. My youngest son caught two tiger fish, thanks to Robert who expertly guided us to the best fishing spots. My eldest child enjoyed visiting the local village, learning about the islanders culture and visiting an ancient Boabab tree. They especially loved watching a Hammerkop bird make it’s nest from the deck of our tent. My wife and I enjoyed spending time with our children, whilst being surrounded by breathtaking scenery on the Chobe river. We combined our stay with a few nights on a Chobe Princess houseboat. It is a holiday we will never forget and can highly recommend for families.

It is a nice place, but old, bad maintained. The furnitures are also old, no decoration Bath room are not better at our football club. So what to say, the people and food is nice. Even the location. But the company is selling this as a lodge for a very high price, but it is just an old tent camp… a bit better than my officer tent at the army. The money is really not worth it! Even the mini pool was as dirty as the river…

Il Chobe Princess e' un concetto diverso e meraviglioso di Safari. Siamo rimasti molto entusiasti dell'esperienza e consigliamo questo tipo di soggiorno a tutti i viaggiatori, soprattutto agli amanti della fotografia. Durante la navigazione, gli avvisatamenti di animali sono costanti ed e' stato anche molto divertente provare la pesca con rilascio dei 'tiger fish'.

Siamo stati all ichingo come seconda tappa di un viaggio proseguito in Botswana. La tenda semplice ma lussuosa, il personale molto carino inclusa la nostra guida Anton. Pescare il tiger fish tra coccodrilli, ippopotami e cicogne è qualcosa di molto speciale.
