Muchenje’s main lodge has an extensive lounge, bar and dining area overlooking the Chobe River and our waterhole.
The dining area is based around a communal dining experience but guests can dine privately if they so wish. There is a lapa (pergola) by the pool for a more intimate dining experience.
In addition we also offer a Bush Braai (barbeque) in a boma in the bush, close to the lodge.
Our chefs provide delightful and varied food and can cater for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.
Extensive deck areas allow for guests to be able to relax and enjoy the view. Perfect for enjoying the African sunset with a cold drink or gazing at the stars around our fire pit.
The swimming pool is open throughout the year. It has views over the flood plain.
Arrive as guests – Leave as family
Muchenje offers 10 private thatched cottages and a larger family cottage, each being beautifully appointed with its own unique view of the Chobe flood plain.
