ACTIVITIES
As Bakwena lodge is situated outside the Chobe National Park we have the advantage of river frontage and a neighbouring local village. Rather than an isolated experience in a remote camp our guests have the opportunity to meet the people of Botswana. Visit schools, go on village tours and get to know the real Africa whilst enjoying its abundant wildlife.
ECO CONSCIENCE
River View Chalets
Built on the ethos of “Treading lightly upon the earth” Bakwena endeavours to maintain a low carbon footprint. Home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife living in one of the world’s largest conservation areas, makes daily environmental choices the pivotal basis for preserving Chobe’s ecosystem.All five of our Treetop Chalets are elevated 3 meters on stilts above ground and wrapped in a Tree Canopy. Lose yourself in a secret world of incandescent light and leaves remembering why a tree house was a childhood dream.
Family Room
Treat your loved ones to a spacious and secluded family room. Furnished in tasteful minimalism using natural fibres makes this space a refreshing change from the clutter of daily life. An opulent king bed welcomes you with twins in the second room. A shared bathroom with an indoor and outdoor shower ensures no one is left wanting! Delicate hand sewn Madagascan lace floats through dappled morning light as the Chobe river rolls gently on. The deck is best enjoyed in silent reverie.
Honeymoon Suite
The Bakwena honeymoon suite is an incentive to take romance to a new level and boldly claim ‘I do!’ Celebrate love in luxury with Chobe charm. Long live the King! A stand alone bath and air conditioning ensure ultimate comfort. Breathe in the good life on your private deck or indulge in a siesta on the delight of a day bed to the heart beat of Africa.
