Muchenje accommodates just
22 guests in intimate exclusivity. The eleven twin-bedded thatched chalets,
all with en-suite facilities, are situated
on the escarpment edge, each with its own balcony and unique view.
Each chalet is exquisitely furnished and great care has been taken to
create
a true African 'ambience'.
Overlooking the Chobe River and floodplains, the main lodge features
a dining area, bar, reception, curio shop, game viewing platform and
library.
The swimming
pool is built
amongst
natural
rock formations, taking advantage of the African vista and providing
a tranquil setting for guests to relax during the heat of the day. Meals
are served table d'bush, wholesome and plentiful, yet well presented.
Theme dinners, vegetarians and special meal requests are catered for.
Guests dine together on a long railway sleeper dining table; dress is
always informal.
Internet access is available for guests.
Activities
Muchenje Safari Lodge offers
the most diverse safari activities to be found in the Chobe area. Game
drives are conducted in open Land Rovers
with qualified professional guides. Imagine the explosive tranquility
of
hundreds of
elephants surrounding
you, or the excitement of a lion kill. Because Muchenje falls outside
of the Chobe National Park, night drives are possible and offer guests
an opportunity to see some of the lesser known nocturnal creatures of
Africa.
River Cruises offer guests the chance to experience game viewing on the
Chobe River. Drift noiselessly past a bathing herd of Elephants or
enter the Hippo's
world
of Crocodiles
and amazing birdlife On guests' request, fishing and game drives to
the interior and most remote parts of central Chobe will gladly be granted.
Another option is a walking safari. Explore the intricacies of the bush
studying animal behavior, plants, insects and Big game approaches. Muchenje's
guides carry
a
fire arm for
your
personal protection. For guests seeking some traditional Botswana culture,
visit an elder's home to get a glimpse into the tribal life of Botswana.
Wildlife
Situated on the far western side of Chobe National
Park, Muchenje is far removed from any other safari camp in this area.
Guests have access to the great herds of Chobe without the crowds often
experienced within the public parts of Chobe itself. Chobe National
Park includes vast landscapes, open plains, Baobab Trees and ancient
woodlands. The wildlife in Chobe roams free in profusion and diversity.
The Elephant population, estimated to number in excess of 45,000, is
the largest single concentration in Africa surviving within the confines
of a National Park. However, Chobe is not fenced and its Elephants are
free to wander where they choose.
During the dry season, the herds migrate from south to north and congregate along
the perennial Chobe River and fertile floodplains. The sight is spectacular and
unforgettable - red winter sunsets, Elephant, Buffalo in their thousands. The
quality of timeless Africa is real and very strong and the vistas are of an almost
bygone era.
