The hotel is lovely, the rooms are amazing, right on the Chobe River. The food is delicious. But the excursions ended up hurting the experience a bit. The Chobe River is the border between Namibia and Botswana. We arrived via Botswana, and the only way to reach the hotel is by boat. And every time you leave the hotel, you need to take a boat and go through 2 immigration processes (entry and exit of each country), both on arrival and departure from the hotel. There's no way to do anything that isn't by boat. We booked a 5-hour tour to Victoria Falls, in Zimbabwe, which would have required 8 immigration crossings — something we were never warned about. Namibian immigration closes at 4:30pm, and we only found this out on the day itself. So the tour had to be squeezed into 1h30 to make it in time for all the immigration crossings. But we were still charged the full price of the 5-hour tour, because according to them, we "cancelled the tour" last minute. All in all, the hotel is great — as long as you stay at the hotel.

Beautiful rooms right on the river. Our only complaint is that we only stayed one night!

One of the best properties I’ve stayed at recently. Exclusive, luxurious water villas with an exquisite sunset/ national park view. The staff went over and above to celebrate our 10th anniversary there. Their grand welcome and personal attention is unparalleled be it the food or service both were excellent. Everyone from the manager to the guide were knowledgeable and helpful. They don’t leave a single detail out in making your stay perfect, from snacks for the boat ride to binoculars in the room for game drives and painting easel for relaxing late evenings. Their water taxi/ water safari was luxurious with snacks and drinks to cool off in the evening. The meals and massages were amazing. Can’t say enough good things about this place. 100% recommend it for groups and couples alike. Thanks Chobe for the experience!

Staff and facility is great. Highly recommend taking an afternoon safari cruise; amazing viewing of many animals as they make their way to the water.

The Chobe Water Villas nestled on the bank of Chobe River with captivating views of unspoiled beauty of nature and wildlife. Stunning architecture with modern concept and stylish design, it was mind-blowing. The villa is so spacious and beautiful, love to spend our time at the terrace to feel the tranquillity of this place, truly a heaven on Earth. Hospitality team is very well trained, friendly, and helpful, they really love pampering their guests tho. Foods are special curated and well executed by chef, it was so flavoursome and tastes heavenly. Excursions are well arranged, we really enjoyed the Chobe River cruise, it was so relaxed, and we really missed it now. It was an unforgettable stay and thank you for the impeccable service.
