About Accommodation
Secluded family destination
Located on Impalila Island on the Namibian side of the Chobe River - which lies at the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers - Ichingo Chobe River Lodge is a beautiful tented lodge that guarantees a tailor made holiday for you. Friendly and owner-managed, it is secluded and hidden beneath the riverine forest, providing the perfect platform to explore this diverse region. The combination of breathtaking scenery, guides that know every nook and cranny, barman Kennedy who makes sure you are never without a fresh drink, abundant wildlife, and a ton of safari activities to pick from, turn this place into a unique safari haven. Located on the river banks, this lodge is set on the ideal location if you are seeking a fishing or river safari. The lodge’s location is known for its high quality fishing, but even if you are not much of an angler, a river safari will add dynamic and unforgettable snapshots to your previous globetrotting experiences. By spending time on the majestic rivers, you will be eye-to- eye with wildlife quenching their thirst and see them in the most placid, undisturbed way.
Stone lined sandy pathways lead to the eight well-appointed Meru-style safari tents with private balconies and en-suite facilities that include a large walk-in shower, vanity basin and flush WC. The tents are privately set and shaded by jackalberry trees with canvas walls incorporating gauze windows. Step out to your own private balcony to listen to the rapids, relax on your sumptuous bed and then head to the dining room or bar to share stories with others or soak in river views with a glass of African red wine. This is also where you come to enjoy great food by local chefs. Quiches, soft homemade buns, salads chock full of fresh produce: it is all a real treat for the taste palette. The communal guest areas are perched on wooden platforms raised on stilts above the water. The lounge, bar, library and dining areas are under thatch and open sided. Comfy couches and colourful chairs create a relaxed and homely atmosphere, dinner is enjoyed around the large square dining table and there is a secluded swimming pool on the water’s edge. Here, attention to detail is paramount.
