Game, both big and small frequents the vicinity of the hotel and there are often Warthog grazing on the lawn, Banded Mongoose foraging in the grounds and Elephant sometimes feeding outside the grounds of the hotel

day

2-4

After an early morning activity and breakfast, transfer by road to the Kazungula Border, where the four countries of Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia meet.

(This is the only place in the world where 4 counties meet – a bit of trivia!)

Clear Immigration formalities, and continue by road to Kasane Airport. (You will have a guide to assist you with the transfer throughout, so no need to worry about the border crossing, the exercise is very quick and simple.)

On arrival at Kasane Airport, you will be met by your guide from Muchenje lodge and driven by road west, game viewing en route through the Chobe National Park, to Muchenje Lodge, situated in the Chobe Forest reserve, on the western boundary of the Chobe National Park.

Muchenje, the only small, exclusive lodge in Chobe, offers a true remote, bush Safari. Situated away from the masses on the western side of the Chobe National Park, they offer unique, prolific game experiences, away from the crowds in the east of the park. The Central Lodge has stunning panoramic views of the Caprivi Flood plains and overlooks its own water-hole frequented by all species of Game. A full day game drive with lunch on a boat cruise in the Chobe National Park, during the midday when hundreds of Elephant come down to the Chobe river to drink and bathe, is a highlight of Muchenje, hence recommending a 4 night stay.
