AMAZING! We absolutely loved our stay. The staff were lovely and friendly. The boat cruises were fantastic! The breakfast, lunch & dinner were exceptional. We will be coming back all the way from Australia just to come to this place !!! Super clean spacious rooms with AC. A bar by the pool. What more could you want ?!! Thankyou everyone.

Breakfast was very nice. Variety good. Thank you for the gluten free foods. Even the fresh fruits were such a special treat

I would like to make two suggestions. Firstly it would be nice to have more options in terms of dinner regarding the protein. I think you have a magnificent chef , but the choices for dinner is very limited. Secondly your bar is so busy , especially when its so hot. A basic wisky is Jameson. Please have it on your list. Teach the barman to make a River View Sunset ( a tequila sunrise ). With a little initiative and a bit wider range you can push your turnover at the bar.

Amazing welcome from Sofia and her team. The activities led by Matthew and John were fantastic, almost having the feeling of private safaris on the 3 we did, due to the intimate nature of the groupings. Their river safari boat is spacious and modern, whilst their game drive vehicles are some of the best we've been on. Excellent pool area, complimentary safari lunch and modern, clean accommodation make it the best value choice we could have found in the Chobe area without compromising on quality. Lovely riverside setting tops it off. Can't recommend River View Lodge enough.

We found River View Lodge to be an ideal base in Kasane. It is very well situated, close to the airport, town, shops, banks, etc. It has a lovely outlook over the Chobe River and is quiet and peaceful. It had a lovely pool so one could cool off in the middle of the day. They offered a great half day safari into Chobe, a boat trip in the afternoon on the Chobe river and a day visit to Victoria Fall, all of which we participated in, and enjoyed thoroughly.

I am struggling to think of anything I didn't like.

Very friendly staff. Rooms are clean, spacious, modern and furnished with light colours. Wonderful interaction with Sofia during the booking process. She always replied very promptly and kindly with tons of useful info about activities , pick up/ drop off , Visa needed to cross bordering countries and anything else I asked her. I appreciated very much the afternoon tea/ coffee station with very tasty home made cookies. The lodge is located close to a village with lots of kids very in need so I would suggest all guests visiting the River View to bring some clothes / shoes/ books / toys for those kids and the property to let everybody aware of this chance upon reservation since it takes really nothing to help them and being rewarded with a big smile !

I would have appreciated some fish as a dinner option since I do not eat meat.

What a great place to stay to explore Chobe, the rooms are freshly renovated in a modern safari style with coffee facilities (not all lodges have this) The staff are all super friendly keen to chat, the dinners, breakfast and safari tea were all home cooking at its best. meeting other guests to chat to each evening really made the stay 5 stars! They organise their own boat safaris at a very reasonable price as well as land safaris in their own safari vehicles. beautiful spot on the river with a good little bar to enjoy a drink round the Boma each night. Would recommend to family and friends.

loved it all!

1) one of the owners was usually on site, was very helpful and friendly and managed the lodge extremely well. 2) excellent half day trips organised at very competitive prices. We saw loins, elephants, hyppos and crocodiles close up. 3) everything was very clean and attractively presented. 4) small scale, intimate nature of the lodge - they have about 12 rooms. Peaceful, relaxed environment.

1) the evening meal while being perfectly acceptable was a bit bland.

The owners have done a nice job maintaining the property, and the staff enjoy their jobs. All very friendly and willing to help. The rooms are very well decorated, and the grounds well taken care of. The personal touches, like freshly baked muffins and cookies at the coffee stand available all day. An exceptional place to relaxed and unwind, with a beautiful location. Sofia, the manager and member of the family that owns the place, is another reason why our stay was so incredible, she is a delight!!

Right on the Chobe River. The property has its own safari vehicles and boat which is nice and spacious when you do a sunset cruise. Food at the lodge was good and dining area is well set out. The lodge is close to Chobe National Park (20 mins away) and Victoria Falls is a day excursion away. Unity picked us up at the airport and she was great to talk to and tell us about the local area. Highly recommend a stay here.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. They made our honeymoon so special. Also the activities were good organized. We made the sunset cruise, gamedrive Chobe and trip to Vic falls

Not easy to come in and out the pool. Every night eating with all the other guests we don’t prefer
