We built The Garden Lodge with the specific intention of offering personal services to a small number of guests.
About The Garden Lodge
We are truly a garden lodge. The combination of unlimited water and constant sunshine allows hibiscus, frangipani, bougainvillea, banana and paw paw to grow in profusion.
Features of The Garden Lodge
Guests love the garden and the prolific birds attracted to the flowers and fruits.
The lodge has eight bedroom (4 doubles and 4 family size), each with its own bathroom and private verandah overlooking the Chobe River. Our lounge and dining room, as well as the rooms, are furnished in teak and wicker.
All décor comes from Botswana or one of the surrounding countries. Guests have the choice of sitting inside under the thatched roof, outside by the swimming pool or make use of our boma in the garden.
Some Ideas of what to do
Enjoy a meal in our dining area. Guests have the choice of a continental or English breakfast. Lunches are buffet style with a choice of hot dishes, salads, cold meat and delicious cheeses.
Dinner is a set menu; however, our kitchen will happily cater for guest’s individual requirements. We bake daily our own bread which is served with all meals.
Generally guests sit at one table, which allows them to meet each other and often the conversation continues well after the meal has ended!
Game viewing and activities
The Lodge activities revolve around game viewing by vehicle and boat into Chobe National Park.
Chobe is a hot, dry region and for most of the year the wildlife is dependent on the river for water, making for truly spectacular game drives and boat cruises.
Elephants are seen in the hundreds and buffalo in the thousands. Lions are an almost daily sighting, as are impala, sable antelope, giraffe, warthog and numerous other species.
Traditionally, early morning game drives and late afternoon boat cruises are safari routine; we are more flexible.
For fishermen, the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers are on our doorstep. Keen birders will have a field day, with over 500 species in the area.
Where is The Garden Lodge?
The Garden Lodge, in Kasane, on the banks of the Chobe River, in Botswana’s far north is 70 km from Victoria Falls, 16km from Kazungula (the meeting point of Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Zambia) and 300 km from the Okavango Delta. Chobe National Park, with its estimated 100 000 elephants, huge herds of buffalo and daily sightings of lion is only 2 km away.
This unique location makes The Garden Lodge an ideal destination for visitors to Botswana and the surrounding countries.
