The only negative, and it's not really a negative, is that with children it would have been more convenient to have a restaurant with a wider food selection. I do understand that given the smaller nature of the lodge this might prove challenging. But the Lodge did understand this and offered to order in food from nearby restaurants that offer delivery services, which I thought was very thoughtful.

The staff were wonderful, the location, while a little further from Chobe, was quiet and relaxing. The lodge provided really good value for money and the staff go beyond to ensure a great stay. The game rangers, particularly John, were extremely knowledgable and ensured fantastic game drives and river cruises. We all thoroughly enjoyed it!

Dinners took a long time and food was sometimes a miss

Lovely rooms and nice facilities, great game driver Matthew and the river cruise isn’t to be missed

The pool deck could do with an upgrade

It was a more intimate property, small amount of people which made it a great, relaxing stay. Food was simple and tasty, not mass produced like some of the larger hotels. Special mention to John who took the game drives for going above and beyond to show us as much as possible

We stayed 3 nights at the River View Lodge. Sofia and her team run the lodge with lot of love and commitment, we always got tips and help for our questions. The guides for the game drives and the boat cruise are doing a great job as well, we enjoyed it so much. We went each day on the boat cruise, there is always to see something different and the sunset is just amazing at the Chobe river. We loved it to stay at the lodge and can recommend it 100%. The organized transfer to and back from the Victoria Falls worked very well, the driver helps with the paper work at the border, we were dropped of at the hotel in Vicfalls, we stayed there for one night. Meanwhile we could leave safely our rental at the lodge.

The room was perfect, but we found that the staff was not as attentive and friendly as in other lodges where we have stayed.

We stayed for 2 nights in a Deluxe Double Chalet with its own private deck and a view of the Chobe River. The room was large with a small table, 2 comfortable chairs, a desk, comfortable bed, etc. Breakfast and a small lunch were included with the room. Dinner was extra and must be booked ahead of time. The food was very good. The location is not central to Kasane and requires transport to town if you want to shop or dine elsewhere. The lodge will book activities in the area. The lodge booked a reasonably priced transfer for us to Victoria Falls. We thought the price of the room was a little high, but may reflect the higher pricing in Botswana.

This sounds crazy but the metal door stopper on the floor for the front door is right in the middle of the floor where you walk to make coffee/tea etc. I kept kicking my toes on it. Quite a basic property for the money.

The property is relaxing and the rooms big. I was surprised to find they give out a free light lunch. It’s no where near walking distance to any shops but on the river.

Excellent view over the Chobe river. The unit was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Excellent service with very friendly staff. The food was very good. Nothing was too much of an effort. Highly recommended!

The Lodge is a little far out of Kasane so it means quite a long drive to get to the National Park and our experience of that was not good. I don't think the lodge had enough staff to fulfil the trip we had requested so had brought in a tour vehicle from another lodge and the driver was not very good at all. Most of the animal spotting was done by us and he also drove a little fast .

Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Food was good.

It was spacious, clean and well equipped. The terrace at the front was an added bonus. We saw a crocodile, dear and water hog.

The stuff sitting around the pool most of the time. Didn’t give us the privacy we wanted to enjoy. No of refrigerators in the rooms for that price is wild

I enjoyed the privacy that I wanted in my stay there
