Unguided full day trip to Victoria Falls includes shared transportation to the Falls and local shopping market. Excludes guide, lunch, visa fees, park fees and Falls entrance fees. This activity substitutes two Chobe National Park activities.
Bakwena Lodge is situated near the Chobe National Park on the banks of the Chobe River near the village of Kazangula.
The name Bakwena embraces the surrounding culture of Botswana, meaning ‘people of the crocodile’ and is also one of the largest tribes in Botswana.
Bakwena Lodge features ten rondavel-style river view chalets (including one family unit), and five tree top chalets.
The river view chalets sit at ground level with small, private decks in front surrounded by indigenous riverine bush, looking towards the Chobe River. The treetop chalets are elevated three metres above the ground on stilts, with large, private decks looking into the tree canopy. Both river view and treetop chalets offer twin or double beds, as well as an indoor and outdoor shower. The River view family chalet offers two bedrooms with a shared bathroom (with indoor and outdoor shower).
The personal touch of owners can be felt from the hand-selected furniture to the food served at meal times where simple, African-fusion dishes, inspired by traditional Tswana cuisine are offered. The swimming pool and main area with its lounge, restaurant and Rain Tree bar overlooking the river offers guests a relaxed atmosphere to unwind in.
Activities include game drives or river cruises in the Chobe National Park. The option to engage in a village tour or bicycle ride to the world’s only four nation border or village can be arranged with management on arrival.
Guests have the option to exchange two Chobe National Park activities for an unguided full day Victoria Falls trip. You are transported (shared) in an air-conditioned mini bus to the entrance of the Falls. You will be collected and transported to the local markets and restaurants, before returning to the lodge. Please note lunch, all entry fees and park fees are excluded
Airstrip Transfer Time: 20 minutes (Transfers are only included when travellers arrive by flight at Kasane Airport)
Kasane This property is located in the small but thriving town of Kasane, where many bigger hotels are located along the Chobe River banks. Entry to Chobe National Park for game drives is via Sedudu Gate ten to fifteen minutes drive from town. For Chobe River cruises, boats depart directly from town. Although wildlife often passes through Kasane a typical bush experience is not on offer here. Instead you’ll get all the comforts of civilization with easy access to the bush.
Please note: A preference for a particular room types can be requested, and the lodge will do its best to accommodate your preference, however a particular room category cannot be guaranteed (except for family chalet bookings).
Self drive guests: Kindly be advised to arrive no later than 2pm. Ideally guests should arrive around 1pm in time for lunch, orientation and check into the rooms before the afternoon activity departs the lodge at 3pm.
This property was last visited by a senior consultant of Safari Destinations in October 2019.
