Bordering
the Chobe National Park, Muchenje Safari Lodge is set on an escarpment
edge, and has been designed to take full advantage of the breathtaking
views over the Caprivi Strip.
Muchenje Safari Lodge is located in the Forrest Reserve, 3 km. from
the Chobe National Park, and under 2 hours drive from Victoria Falls.
The camp lies on the Chobe River, just above its confluence with the
Zambezi.
This is the only private lodge in this
area, and as such is spoiled with sole use of this section of the
Chobe National Park. Unique prolific game experiences are to be found
without the masses and commercialism that inhibit lodges around
Kasane.
Chobe is famous for its large elephant
and buffalo herds, has vegetation that ranges from the dense riverine
and grass floodplains of the north to teak forests and mopane woodlands, with scattered pans and waterholes in the
south. |

Muchenje

National Park, and under 2 hours
drive from Victoria Falls. Road transfers will be arranged, if requested.
Passengers rendezvous with the Muchenje safari vehicle at Kasane Airport.
Flights and independent light aircraft charters can be met at Kasane

the connecting transfer time. E.g. if an early or long transfer, it is
preferable to go straight to the lodge and relax before the game activity. |
