Relaxing

I found the whole place relaxing and as stated on the site. Saw lots of animals next to the river. Definitely, a great place to stay!

Naam is misleidend.

Die lodge is naam is 'Chobe River Lodge' maar dit is nie geleë aan die kant van die Groot 5 wild van Chobe-park nie. Dit is die pragtigste lodge, maar het geen wildondervinding nie. Die webtuiste moet dit duidelik maak dat die naam misleidend is en dat mens nie Chobe sal ondervind by die lodge nie. Maak dit duidelik dat die lodge aan die Namibia-kant is wat nie aan die wildkant van die reservaat is nie. Tweedens, moet geen SA-gaste na die lodge stuur nie, want die Covid-prosedures maak dit onmoontlik om selfs oor die grens te ry na Chobe vir wildbesigtiging. Met Covid is die regulasie dat die toets net 72 uur geldig is en mens moet in Katima Namibia gaan vir hertoets as jy wil heen-en-weer en dit is 'n lang proses en baie onaangenaam met die onhulpvaardige grensbeamptes. Tweedens, die toets is nie geldig vir hertoegang nie, so heen-en-weer na Chobe-park is heel uit as opsie. Die bote kan ook nie beweeg nie, want die rivier is te laag. Die bote word wel bemark deur die webtuiste en dit is weereens misleidend.

Name is misleading.

The lodge is name is 'Chobe River Lodge' but it is not located on the side of the Big 5 game of Chobe park. It is the most beautiful lodge but has no wildlife experience. The website should make it clear that the name is misleading and that one will not encounter Chobe at the lodge. Make it clear that the lodge is on the Namibian side which is not on the wildlife side of the reserve. Second, do not send any SA guests to the lodge as the Covid procedures make it impossible to even drive across the border to Chobe for game viewing. With Covid, the regulation is that the test is only valid for 72 hours and you have to go to Katima Namibia for a retest if you want to go back and forth and it is a long process and very unpleasant with the unhelpful border officials. Second, the test is not valid for re-entry, so round trip to Chobe Park is completely out of the question. The boats can't move either because the river is too low. The boats are indeed marketed by the website and this is again misleading.
