Arriving at Ichingo Chobe River Lodge is a breath of fresh air. You will be welcomed with warm smiles and served with heartfelt attention to every detail. The staff are the shining stars of this hidden gem on Impalila Island, Namibia.

Located on the quieter Namibian side of the Chobe River, Ichingo Chobe River Lodge offers families, couples or groups with the highest level of service accommodated in comfortable Meru Safari tents.

The guides at Ichingo Chobe River Lodge are highly knowledgeable and make every specialised excursion on the river educational and fun. Catch-and-release fishing, guided photo safaris, river safaris, and bird-watching.

Departing from Botswana and crossing over to the Namibian side of the Chobe River, the Chobe Princess houseboats cruise along the edge of the Chobe National Park while you relax and watch exceptional wilderness views.

Your days on the Chobe Princess houseboats are tailored to your interests and you can experience the natural beauty and wildlife while relaxing onboard or participating in activities such as catch-and-release fishing and bird watching, waterbased game viewing and photographic excursions.

Two of the 18-metre Chobe Princesses houseboats contain four cabins, while the third is slightly larger with five cabins.

Traversing from Botswana across to the Namibian side of the Chobe River, The Zambezi Queen is like a floating boutique hotel.  Complete with a plunge pool and sublime social spaces on the upper deck, it takes you up the Chobe with Namibia on one side and the Chobe National Park on the other; the wildlife and landscape scenes unfold and change before your eyes.

Bring your camera! The photographic moments are out of this world, and you can get closer to the action by going out on a tender boat.

Experience the thrill and tranquillity of an authentic African adventure, with all the luxurious comforts of a boutique hotel.

Remember a forgotten part of Botswana; come to Feline Fields by Mantis. Absolutely pristine, even the skies are barren of man-made flight. This vast Kalahari desert is alive with life. African elephants, leopards, gemsbok, brown hyenas and the occasional pack of wild dogs roam freely over the endless semi-desert planes.

There is an ancient soul that ignites this place; it is heard in the rapid syllables of the Ju-Huansi and Kung! Bushmen songs that flame night fires. These wise desert nomads have been here for thousands of years; living as their ancestors did. We are privileged to be able to introduce you to them so you can learn their ways.
