Mowana Safari Lodge

The Chobe River winds through Botswana’s northern frontier, a lifeline for wildlife and people alike in this diverse and dramatic ecosystem. Just 8 kilometers from the entrance to Chobe National Park, Mowana Safari Lodge offers a large-scale, resort-style safari experience with expansive river views and extensive guest facilities. Built around a revered 800-year-old baobab tree and surrounded by manicured gardens, the lodge combines natural beauty with modern comfort, making it a popular choice for larger groups, conferences, and leisure travelers.

Mowana Safari Lodge features 107 spacious, river-facing rooms and four suites, all with full en suite bathrooms. Each room opens onto views of the Chobe River and surrounding gardens, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration. Designed to accommodate high volumes without sacrificing comfort, the lodge is well suited for both individual travelers and organized groups.

At the heart of the property is the Serondella Restaurant, where guests enjoy meals inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Africa. Large picture windows overlook the river, and meals are served buffet-style or à la carte depending on group size and guest preference. The Savuti Bar is a casual and lively gathering spot for evening drinks, while the Boma Terrace offers open-air dining in a more relaxed setting. The Pool Bar serves light lunches daily, and for groups or special occasions, meals can be arranged at Mowana’s own African village or down on the banks of the Chobe River at the riverside boma.

Beyond dining, Mowana offers a full suite of amenities including a large outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, a golf course, curio shop, and an on-site hair salon. Conference facilities accommodate business groups, events, and incentive travel programs, all within a setting that still feels connected to the wild.

ACTIVITIES

Mowana Safari Lodge offers an impressive array of activities both on site and in the surrounding region. On the property itself, guests can enjoy birdwatching from the gardens and terraces—species such as broad-tailed paradise-whydah, trumpeter hornbill, and several varieties of kingfisher are regularly seen. Tennis and golf are available for those looking for more active pursuits.

From the lodge, daily game drives into Chobe National Park are easily arranged in open 4×4 vehicles. The park is famous for its large elephant herds, predators, buffalo, and rich birdlife. River-based game viewing is another highlight, with boat cruises and mokoro excursions offering a different perspective of the wildlife that congregates along the water’s edge. Sundowner cruises aboard a motorised river barge are especially popular for their scenic views and relaxed pace.

Additional excursions include walking trails and catch-and-release fishing trips. For those looking to experience more of the region, Mowana also arranges day trips to Victoria Falls—allowing guests to combine a traditional safari with one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders.
