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

The electrical system in the home was a bit tricky.

We couldn't have wanted anything more. The staff were exceptional, the upgrade to the whole home was spectacular, the food was varied and always hot and delicious,the grounds were lovely and it was all on a great location along the Chobe River. We would highly recommend this lodge to anyone interested in relaxation and nature. Our guide, John, for the boat cruise and the safaris was outstanding in his knowledge of the birds, animals in the area and the landscape. One of the servers, Monte, went out of her way to make our first evening meal there a wonderful one to remember with candlelight in a special setting.

Our room was very comfortable and well furnished. The food was very good - esp the ginger biscuits and rusks which were superb. All the staff were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. The pool was a lovely relaxation after hot days of exploring the local area. The boat cruise and game drive were both very, very good and Mathews was an excellent guide.

The only down side of River View is it's additional distance from the park. Although this isn't such an issue with the game drives (an extra 10 mins drive each way), the river cruise involves that additional drive, plus a bit, to the remote berthing site for the lodge - some of the other closer lodges being able to start direct from their own river jetties. The timber decking round the pool was nearing it's replacement date - but it's understood that not everything can be brand new all the time.

We wanted to spend 5 nights in Kasane but at the time of booking, couldn't find a vacancy with 5 consecutive nights at our preferred destination - a much bigger resort right on the edge of the Chobe National Park. So we booked 2 at River View. As it turned out, this was a very friendly little oasis of calm simplicity which couldn't have done much more to suit our needs. Although the lodges looked a bit like Granny Flats from the outside, they were comfortably set out in 'Safari' style inside with good air-con and screening from insects. The pool area was small but perfectly adequate for the size of the place and number of people staying. Dinner was served at a set time of 7.30 and had a carnivore and veggie option and was perfectly acceptable. Drinks were very reasonably priced. Obviously, the object of the stay was the game viewing. This was the strength of River View - in their guide, Mathews, who has a brilliant instinct for the animals movements and for the mood, and requirements of the passengers he is carrying, and extending the '3' hour drive to over 4. So much did we appreciate him that we booked one of our following early morning trips with him, rather than the other lodge, whose drivers seemed more formulaic and ready to head back as soon as they could. The images on the website represent the place very accurately. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for - and I think in this case - a bit more. The cost here was considerably less than where we stayed next. Granted, that was very plush and beautifully set out, with exceptional rooms - and a great location. But, it lacked the intimate simplicity we felt at River View. And, it doesn't make any difference how much you pay for your bed - you still see the same animals in the Park!
