Bakwena Lodge is an intimate, privately citizen owned boutique lodge on the banks of the Chobe River offering a fully inclusive safari experience in an area which hosts a huge variety of bird species and some of the finest game viewing to be had worldwide.

13 Standard Chalets (Riverine & Treetop), 1 Family Room and 1 Honeymoon Suite are all designed and decorated in a manner befitting their environment and offering a cool and comfortable escape.

Bakwena Lodge's eco-credentials include a natural swimming pool filtered entirely by plants, employment policies, food choices, building methods and otherwise unseen ways in which any negatives to the lodge surroundings or environment are addressed.

Activities, all based in-house and facilitated by their hand picked professional guides, are naturally focused on land and water safaris in the comfort of their game drive vehicles and boats. Other activities on offer include a guided Village Walk/Bicycle Tour and a boat cruise to the meeting place of four countries (the only one in the world!).

Bakwena Lodge warmly welcomes you to immerse yourself in the beauty that is Chobe.

Bakwena is the proud owner of seven custom built game viewers.

While offering the usual early morning and evening game drives we aim to maximise the game viewing experience.

Chobe can get busy during high season and our guides are always finding new ways of innovating . Our goal is a quality experience through extended drives and exploring new areas of the Park. Our experienced, hand picked guides are, we believe, the finest in Chobe. From insects to bird specific experiences these professionals never disappoint.
