We loved our stay at this lodge. For the first evening we were the only couple in the hotel and had the place to ourselves. We took the opportunity to do a river cruise and got to see tons of animals! I love seeing all the hippos and elephants from the boat! Our guide was very informative, answered all of... More

The most expensive place during our trip, which is more... More

The Garden Lodge is a well run establishment which was designed "small" in comparison to the other well known lodges in Kasane only providing 8 rooms. All of the rooms look out over the gardens to the Chobe river and are comfortable and well set up. Although in the higher price range for Botswana it is money well spent. The... More

The Garden Lodge is a peaceful oasis with 8 rooms decorated in soothing tan and cream colors - all local materials. After arriving we sat on our room patio, looking out over the beautiful garden to the Chobe River. Sunbirds darted among the vivid flowers as we sipped our tea and listened to the hushed sounds of a well run... More

We stayed a few nights at the Garden Lodge and really enjoyed the whole experience. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The rooms were clean but had a curtain across separating the bathroom from bedroom (not ideal if your the shy type) also the food is very basic and would not be to everyone's taste, but obviously being in...
