We spent 3 nights at the wonderful Mababe River Lodge and absolutely loved our stay. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. The lodge is beautifull designed and perfectly located in the middle of nature, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Also the rooms are very comfortable and super clean. The food was absolutely delicious and the team took great care of our dietary requirements. Even our two vegans absolutly loved the food - vegan food even prepared especially for them. The safaris we booked through the lodge were fantastic. Our guide was very kind, patient, and has a lot of knowledge. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife, including wild dogs, hyenas, lions, and even a leopard. We honestly could have stayed many more nights and will definitely come back one day. Thank you so much for this wonderful stay.

Fighting hyena packs (20-30?) in the village were creating a unique sound and thrill experience during the night. And Hippos are making the background chorus...

“very comfortable all round”
Excellent facilities, really pleasant communal area, friendly and efficient staff, truly excellent evening meal. The roads up from Maun are sand roads so need a bit of patience. close access to Chobe, very convenient. Would highly recommend
