Read 2 traveller reviews of Ichingo Chobe Lodge

Ichingo Chobe River Lodge on Impalila Island right beside the Chobe River, is quite like a bushcamp. It has a rustic air and large walk-in tents dotted about the riverine forest.

Note that although Ichingo stands on an island in Namibia, it is very close to Chobe National Park in Botswana – and some of its activities are boat trips along the Chobe in search of the park's game. Ichingo can easily combined into most trips to Botswana – or even used for a short side-trip of a few days when staying in the Livingstone area.

Two other lodges close by, on the other side of Impalila island, are Impalila Island Lodge and the luxurious Ntwala Lodge.
