River View Lodge

老闆娘人很好，讓我們提前入住和延遲退房了。房間大，床很舒服。從酒店就可報名參加活動，一次好的入住體驗

After much debate we opted not to hire a car and so I emailed the lodge to ask advice about airport pick up and taxis to Victoria Falls and info on what activities were available. Shingi was quick to respond and we got everything in place before we arrived. The lodge is a little out of the way, small but lovely. Our room was exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfy. Food is ordered earlier in the day with a choice of two starters and mains, and we couldn’t fault it. Breakfast had a selection of fruit, cereal, meats and cheeses and there was the option of cooked, omelet or a special every day. Staff were friendly and helpful and we were always greeted with a smile. We enjoyed the communal set up for dining instead of everyone being sat at their own table. It was a great opportunity to talk to other guests, get hints and tips about some of the trips and to discuss where they had been and what they had seen. We booked two morning game drives and two afternoon boat trips. Matthew took us on all but one of these. He had great knowledge of the animals and we saw lion, elephants, giraffes on the game drives. The highlight for us though were the two boat trips, they really were special. Great opportunity to see elephants at play in the river and hippos going about their lives, we were also luck to capture two buffalo swimming between islands. Matthew was able to get us in close for photos whilst always being aware of the other boats and making sure we didn’t overcrowd the animals. When we come back to Botswana this will definitely be where we stay again.

As a family of six, (three generations) we spent five wonderful days at River View Lodge enjoying this intimate, well run little oasis on the banks of the Chobe Tover Our accommodation was extremely comfortable, each room tastefully decorated and thoughtfully furnished. The meals were delicious and generous. We enjoyed relaxing while enjoying a great view of the Chobe River from the open lounge area or around the pool. The game drives and sunset cruises were well organised and enjoyable with the Rangers doing their best to show us as much game as possible . We can fully recommend this amazing Lodge and look forward to a future visit. Our heartfelt thanks to Sofia and her friendly staff who went the extra mile to ensure that we all had a good time both before our visit and during our stay,
