Ngoma Safari Lodge Review

Ngoma Safari Lodge is a seriously good-looking and luxurious lodge (with an even better setting than Muchenje, though they are very similar). This is a highly recommended lodge if you are looking for a stylish game lodge with a very good setting in the Chobe area. The bedrooms are luxurious with private plunge pools and each enjoy the epic panoramic views over the Chobe river.

Its location is one of its big advantages.  The Chobe Forest Reserve lies adjacent to Chobe National Park in the western side of the Park. The plus point is that this is a much quieter part of Chobe so that you don’t get that sense of congestion at the gate with several lodge’s safari vehicles heading into the park at the same time. This is a big plus for most of the year and especially in the busier peak months of June to October. Being in the forest reserve also means that bush walks and night drives are a possibility, which would not be on the cards if it was in the national park proper…

The only (small) downside is that they cannot do water safaris directly from the camp, because of the variable water levels in the Chobe river. Thus they offer a full day game experience starting with a leisurely morning game drive through the park back to Kasane where you enjoy a boat cruise. You then take an afternoon game drive back to the lodge arriving in the late afternoon.
