"Ichingo Chobe River Lodge review"
Tents were spacious and very comfortable with enough storage space; bathroom was large and well designed though a lick of paint wouldn’t go amiss. We only did one activity; an afternoon boat trip on which we didn’t see a huge amount but just being out on the river is a pleasure.
The fish for dinner was delicious and we really enjoyed chatting after dinner with owner Dawn and another couple – so much so that our accustomed 9pm bedtime stretched to 11.30! Unfortunately we hadn’t been told that tea and coffee would be brought to the tent in the morning so only found the tray when we set off for breakfast!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Ichingo Chobe River Lodge review"
"Last stop on the Chobe"
Owner dined with guests, making one feel welcome.
Tent set above the river so that the sound of the water was ever present, with monkeys in the tree outside. Good bathroom at rear.
Lovely river excursions with knowledgeable guide.
A good stay." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Ichingo Chobe River Lodge review"
We were the only guests that night! We had dinner with Ralph and really enjoyed his company (his wife was away).
Raphael was our guide on a boat drive and a village walk, and he was superb.
Now I understand how the transfer works from Zimbabwe! (By the way, we did not receive any prior information about pickup time, but I emailed Ralph, who replied promptly) Getting our passport stamped four times to get there was part of the fun, especially at the immigration point on the island!"

"Beautiful"
We could not fault anything with this lodge other than we were unable to stay longer. The fishing was the high light of our stay with special thanks to Robert for achieving our first Tiger fish catch." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Great welcome at Ichingo Chobe Lodge"
The owners were very welcomng and having our own guide was great. Our Guide was Robert and was very patient when we went out fishing.
The lodge was on an island and the activities were on boats, but because you had your own guide you could choose what you did and when.
I would recommend this lodge as a good place to visit." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
