Ichingo Chobe River lodge by Mantis 3,5 estrelas

I loved the quiet setting. Birdwatching from the veranda. (Photographed an African Finfoot!) Fun fishing. The staff was attentive. Good food. The staff cleverly arranged interaction between guests without being intrusive, we made new friends.

An unbelievable place to stay, the best guides for all forms of fishing and wildlife spotting with unparalleled service in the lodge. Delicious food, luxury safari tents and a wonderful atmosphere! You will not find a better place to stay on the Chobe river.

What a wonderful hidden oasis this is, on the Chobe River bank (literally). The accommodations are very inviting, well kept and comfortable, and the staff and the food are five star. The wildlife viewing and fishing is top class, go for it and know every comfort is provided for you and you will feel very safe and secure. Did I mention the staff? They are absolutely five star. Better service than the Ritz Carlton hotel in New York!

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.
