Great small resort
River View is a small resort which offers sn all inclusive experience. The rooms are clean, modern and very spacious. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious. There are cooked options for breakfast, a complimentary serve yourself lunch as dinner with two main options. On one of our nights we had a barbeque. They have their own arranged boat safari in the afternoon and early morning game drives. I would definitely recommend River View in Kasane.

We stayed 4 nights in the deluxe chalet. From here, we covered both Chobe and Victoria Falls easily. The activities and excursions put on by the lodge were excellent. Food was great, as was the service. Reasonably priced for the area. We would definitely stay again.

Enjoyed that it was a smaller place, set in a beautiful location on the river and away from the big “mass market lodges.” Everyone gets a “cabin.” Staff is very friendly and helpful. Game drives and river cruises were delightful, informative and packed with animals. Downside: breakfast usually the same, Internet very poor, and the power frequently goes out for 1-3 hours.

Wonderful family Safari - would stay again
We stayed at the Lodge for 3 nights in a family room for 3 adults. We struggled to find the location, however once we arrived the hospitality was wonderful. We were shown around the complex, which consists of a restaurant, bar, open lounge area and swimming pool. The room itself was a good size with ample space. The cleanliness was good and the decor good for the location. The bathroom could do with some modernisation, especially the shower tap. The breakfast was always a great start to the day with plenty of Continental and hot food options. The evenings meals were from set menus that changed every night, these were a good portion and always great quality. The pool area had lots of space to lounge around, even when the hotel was full. Again, there was always staff nearby to assist with any needs. We also appreciated the free ironing service. The morning game safari organised by the hotel was lovely (although cold/windy in the vehicle due to the nature of the very large safari vehicle) and we saw some amazing animals, including lots of Elephant, Zebra, Giraffe, Lion. However, this is dependent on the day you visit the Chobe Park, I guess we were lucky to see Lions (as it was off/wet season). The transfers to Livingstone airport were organised by the hotel for $60 pp (prices can vary - check with hotel), again a good journey and ample of space in the vehicle. The only issue was on checkout when different $ conversion rates were applied but rectified after I identified.

Excellent intimate lodge by the riverside
Great lodge by the Chobe river-side. Very good service in general, and the offerings in terms of game drives and boat cruises were excellent. Very professional. The breakfast is good, a complimentary light afternoon tea is also included - all with a very 'homey' feel. The fact that there is less than 10 rooms, gives it a very intimate feel. Something that the communal dining area supports. There's a lovely pool and a nice area to relax both outside in the garden, as well as a lounge that is partly inside/outside.

Private, comfortable resort with spectacular view
This resort is located a few miles outside of Kasane near the border at Kazungula. It is quiet and secluded, with very comfortable and relaxing grounds right on the river. The staff was absolutely wonderful and really went out of their way to help us arrange activities and even made phone calls to the airlines on our behalf to track down our missing luggage. The food was fabulous and consisted of a good mix of traditional Botswana dishes as well as some more European food. There are not a lot of activities for children on the resort grounds, but the staff can help you arrange for activities in town, in Chobe or across the border in Zimbabwe. I would highly recommend River View Lodge to anyone!

Great fine!
We were most happy with this hotel, the location was great! It was directly on the Chobe River. Individual cabins had ac, wifi, private balcony. What made it was the great helpful staff, and we found the dinners and afternoon tea to be excellent. We didn't have to go into the city for dinner as this place offered great meal.

Beautiful Chobe river views
A beautiful setting right on the Chobe River with wonderful staff that are attentive to every need. The manager was more than willing to set up any offsite activities that we wanted, including booking a trip to Victoria Falls, Game Drives with scheduling of the meals around our activities.

Lodge with view
Very nice small lodge near Chobe River. Staff was very friendly especially Candy who booked tours for us and called taxis. Met lots of really nice people. Much better atmosphere than you get in larger hotels. Felt like a safari camp (in a good way).

Small & intimate oasis on the river in Kasane!
This is a very comfortable, personal boutique hotel kind of stay! The staff is lovely & so very attentive....the chalets are spacious, comfortable & the included breakfast is delicious & plentiful as well as a lovely high tea at 2:00 pm! We ate dinner at the hotel both of our nights & it was both delicious & very reasonable in cost...with kind attentive service & interesting conversation with travelers from all over the globe...a bit like an African B&B...small, intimate & personal in its charm....just what we look for in our travels! Thank you to Candy & staff....well done! We wish you nothing but the best!!

Nice Stay - Relaxing by the River
The rooms were nice - pretty spacious and clean. The bathrooms are a little old but clean. The property is very well maintained and comfortable to hang out and read a book. The dinner onsite is convenient since there aren't many other choices but was just ok. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, very good value for the money and would stay again!

Gorgeous location, amazing staff
We LOVED our stay at River View Lodge! The lodge is in an absolutely gorgeous setting right on the Chobe River, close to Kasane, and very close to Chobe National Park. The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They seamlessly helped us in arranging airport transfers, a game drive and a river tour. The room was clean, comfortably furnished, and included basic toiletries which was a nice bonus. Overall a very serene, relaxing, and amazing experience at an unbeatable price. I would definitely recommend this lodge to others and would stay here again in the future!
