Big 5 Toro Lodge

Big 5 Toro Lodge is an accommodation-focused riverside lodge in Kazungula, near Kasane and the entrance routes to Chobe National Park. The property sits close to the meeting point of Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia, with the Chobe and Zambezi rivers nearby. Its location suits travellers combining a Chobe safari with regional day trips and cross-border sightseeing.

The lodge offers 18 chalets, including 10 positioned beside the Chobe River, as well as family rooms and standard rooms. Riverfront chalets include private bathrooms with a shower, toilet and hand basin. Air conditioning and mosquito nets are provided in the chalets. The river setting gives the accommodation a nature-oriented character, with the surrounding area associated with wildlife, water-based excursions and open landscapes.

Camping is a central part of the property. Individual campsites have private ablution facilities, a kitchen sink with hot and cold water, lighting and a power point. A separate camping area caters for larger groups and mobile safari operators, with shared facilities that include showers, toilets, hand basins, kitchen sinks, a lapa-style fireplace and a built-in braai. The mix of rooms, chalets and camping makes the lodge suitable for safari travellers, families, independent campers and organised groups seeking different levels of accommodation in the same setting.

Activities available through the lodge include game drives and boat cruises on the Chobe River and in Chobe National Park. A sunset boat cruise, fishing, village tours, local transfers and a Quadripoint Bridge tour are also listed. Victoria Falls day trips are available, with options connected to sightseeing in Zimbabwe, including helicopter flights, walks and bungee jumping. Most activities require a minimum of four participants, while the Victoria Falls day trip is listed as an exception.

The atmosphere is practical and outdoors-oriented rather than formal. Accommodation is designed around access to the river, safari areas and shared camping facilities, while the range of room types allows short stays, family breaks and group travel to be arranged in one location. River chalets include breakfast in the listed accommodation offering. Big 5 Toro Lodge provides a base for exploring Chobe and the surrounding four-country region without placing the focus on an elaborate dining or resort experience.
