World Travel Awards Nominee 2024
Muchenje Safari Lodge is perched atop an escarpment on the tranquil western side of Botswana’s Chobe National Park. Offering spectacular views of the Chobe River and the seasonal floodplains, its location ensures a peaceful retreat away from the busy Kasane area while being only a two-hour drive from the stunning Victoria Falls.
Children 8 years and older are welcome. Children under 8 on request in Low Season.
Families with children between 8 – 12 years old will need to book a private vehicle for their safari.
Minimum age for walking and mokoro is 12 yrs and is at the discretion of the management and guide.
One family at any one time only – only 2 triples in standard rooms permitted at any time.
Muchenje’s main lodge features a spacious lounge, bar, and dining area with views of the Chobe River and our waterhole.
While the dining area centers around a communal dining experience, guests have the option to dine privately. For a more intimate setting, there's a pergola by the pool.
They offer a Bush Braai (barbecue) in a boma situated in the bush, close to the lodge.
Our chefs prepare delicious and diverse meals, accommodating vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
Extensive deck areas provide guests with a relaxing space to enjoy the scenery.
They are ideal for watching the African sunset with a cold drink or stargazing around our fire pit.
The swimming pool, open year-round, overlooks the floodplain.

Muchenje features 10 private thatched cottages and a larger family cottage, each elegantly designed with a unique view of the Chobe floodplain.
The family cottage provides ample comfort, featuring an additional mezzanine open-plan sleeping area that can accommodate 2 children. With 2 spacious bathrooms and a large deck, it is ideal for families or groups of young friends traveling together.
Unwind on your deck and bask in the sun while observing animals grazing on the plains below.

This Travel Firm is Ready for You!
We have completed the preliminary reservations with this amazing travel firm. Thank God they exist! We would never have been able to figure out how to put the pieces of our trip to AFRICA together without them. They are patient, caring, detailed, and responsive to communications…something you expect, but do not always receive when service is involved. Connect with them via email if you are even thinking about going to Africa. Cheers!

First time to Cape Town
We are a group of ten friends traveling together to Cape Town for the first time. Safari.com was our top choice for travel agents. Leché and Tracy were incredibly helpful and prompt with our questions and bookings. The trip to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve was fantastic, and everything went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Safari.com for your safari plans!

Fadiel was very prompt in responding to my emails. Despite a double booking for our Safari - not his fault - everything worked out well in the end.

Sara Van Coillie
Sara Van Coillie, representing Safari.com, has gone above and beyond in assisting with a custom booking for an African safari experience I wanted arranged for my colleagues visiting Namibia for the first time.
