Local tip
Pair a Chobe National Park game drive with a Chobe River cruise to experience the area from both land and water.

River View Lodge is a family-run riverside lodge at Plot 5824 Kwena Road in Kazungula, Botswana. Set beside the Chobe River, it offers a quiet base for exploring the natural attractions of the Chobe area while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and personal. The lodge suits visitors looking for accommodation with access to wildlife activities, river experiences and regional day trips.

Accommodation is arranged across tastefully appointed twin rooms, double chalets, a deluxe double chalet, family chalets and a private home. The rooms and chalets are individual units with air conditioning and private bathrooms, providing a practical choice for couples, families and other small groups. The family-oriented options add flexibility for longer stays or parties travelling together, while the smaller scale of the property supports a calm, informal feel.

Dining is available through the lodge restaurant, with dinner forming an important part of the stay. The food is described as flavorful, and the restaurant complements the lodge’s comfortable, easy-going character. Service is presented as friendly and attentive, with the family-run approach reflected in the welcoming atmosphere.

River View Lodge also provides a base for a range of Chobe activities. Game drives take visitors into Chobe National Park, while boat cruises follow the Chobe River and offer a different way to experience the area. Day trips to Victoria Falls are also available, making the lodge suitable for itineraries that combine wildlife, river scenery and one of the region’s major attractions. Activity arrangements can include morning road safaris and river outings later in the day, subject to the lodge’s schedule.

The riverside setting gives the property a restful quality between excursions. Time at the lodge can be spent around the accommodation and pool, or in the restaurant before and after activities. River View Lodge works well for travellers who prefer a smaller lodge environment over a large resort, as well as families seeking dedicated accommodation and visitors wanting Chobe activities arranged from a single base. Its combination of private rooms, family accommodation, lodge dining and guided outings makes it a straightforward choice for a Botswana safari stay in the Kazungula area.
