Ichingo Chobe River Lodge by Mantis 3,5 yıldız

We had a four night stay here and it was just enough. We saw some great wildlife and got fantastic photos of birdlife. Big plus for us was having our own boat and guide so each morning and night we could alter the trips to suit us. Lodge was fine, food adequate. Staff excellent.

The location of the Lodge, on a section of rapids packed with bird life, is wonderful. The Lodge is amazingly efficient, with great staff across the board. One of the highlights of our 5 days was the exceptional fishing guide. Feedback from our group indicated that they were all good but our guide, Robert, made our trip. His knowledge of bird life is encyclopedic - and he's an amazing fishing guide and great company. We were looked after at every turn: meals, drinks, snacks on every boat trip and visit to the bar, transport from the airport...simply exceptional

Unique,charming and idyllic water experience in the Chobe River. 5 star resort with all the wonderful amenities with the perfect view and wildlife. The food was amazing and the service was beyond expectations. The guides are first class and go above and beyond to give you an experience you will not soon forget. The photos tell it all.

I have mixed feelings about our experience at the lodge. Our time on the Chobe Princesses were absolutely amazing and we were slightly disappointed in the lodge. The staff were absolutely amazing and the experiences offered were first class. However, the lodge itself requires a lot of maintenance and TLC. The management are lucky that the staff are so good as their interaction with guests was totally non existent. Both on arrival, departure and all in between. Food was mediocre and limited. More choice should be given and not just aset menu of one meal. After all this we did enjoy our time with you. Your staff deserve all the credit.

We visited Ichingo Chobe River Lodge for my birthday, and what an unforgettable experience it was! From start to finish, everything was simply perfect. The rooms were extremely comfortable and thoughtfully equipped with air conditioning—although we didn’t need it in May, it was still a nice touch. The beds were honestly the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. A special shoutout to our guide, Nicolas—he was outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Whether we were out fishing or on a game viewing cruise, he went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well-informed. His knowledge of birds and wildlife was phenomenal. If you're visiting, I highly recommend requesting him! The lodge staff, especially Kennedy and Sonia, were always there with a smile—ready to help, top up a glass, or share a good chat and laugh. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home. And Matilda—your food was absolutely delicious! Every meal was a treat, and now that we’re back home, we’re definitely in need of a diet (worth it though!). I would highly recommend Ichingo Chobe River Lodge to everyone. We’re already planning a return trip with family. Thank you to the entire team for making this such a special and memorable getaway!
