Mwandi View

Had a very pleasant couple of nights here - highly recommended for laid back atmosphere & good food - with the bonus of a great waterhole on site for viewing animals at night (we saw mainly hippos & elephants but I daresay with more time we would have seen more). The tents are comfortable & well kitted out, though hot in the day when we stayed (temperatures in the high thirties) but OK at night. Maybe more powerful fans would be something to consider. Special mention for Lucky, the guide who took us into the park both days & worked hard to find the animals for us.

Mwandi View is exceptional and outstanding. Amelia and Anton are excellent hosts, who care about their guests and do everything to make their stay a pleasant one. Our tented cabin was well furnished and very comfortable. Amelia takes great pride in the excellent gourmet meals that are prepared every evening. Anton has constructed a water trough and water hole on the property and every evening it is visited by elephants, hippos, or giraffes. Two game drives and two river trips were arranged for us. All were excellent. The night game drives with Anton were exceptional and gave us a new appreciation of the environment. We felt very privileged to have a personal experience of Africa and highly recommend Mwandi View.

It was actually planned as a transit stop between Kasane and Goha. But oh boy, oh boy! This lodge has nothing to envy to any high end lodge. The place was neat and the view amazing and the whole staff lovely. Overlooking a water whole where we were even fortunate enough to see a Leopard drinking at night , some hyppos and an elephant. The food was Devine , diner and breakfast. If I should come back I would rather stay there without any doubt since you are close to Kasane and they do organize day trips to the Victoria falls and Chobe river cruise. We stayed in Kasane and I regretted it at the end since we enjoy the place so much. The tents are spacious and comfy with an en-suite bathroom. The owners were lovely as well. Thank you!!!

We were here for two nights. The staff was very friendly and we had a very nice experience with the owners. The campsite was fenced, so there were no animals in the campsite at night. The sunset from the front of the restaurant was breathtaking. As we were in July, there were no mosquitoes either, which helped to make our experience at the campsite even better.

We stayed at Mwandi View for two nights at their campsite with our 4×4 with rooftop tent. We were welcomed by Keddy, who was very friendly and gave us clear instructions about the available facilities. The owners, Amelia & Anton, were the most kind, helpful and down-to-earth people we've met during our stay in Botswana; in for a joke, informative and flexible (there was a slight miscommunication with regards to our pre-booked meals, but they made sure we were well catered for regardless)! The home-made meals were, without exception or exaggeration, exquisite! It's in the name of the accommodation, but there's nothing that can beat the view from Mwandi View. Great pool, perfect bar and amazing staff! Special thanks to Brooks for the amazing game drive! We were also happy to become friends with Bruno, the friendliest of dogs who's job was to collect all the empty pet bottles and recycle them into his own personal toy collection. The night before our departure we asked for directions and received a hand-drawn map from Anton. We were glad we followed his instructions, because the route was beautiful and whilst bumpy, very much doable! Also managed to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, baboons, antilopes and impala (AFI's, as Amelia called them)! Thanks fo the short but memorable stay!!

We stayed two nights in a tented chalet to allow us to self-drive the Ngoma end of Chobe Riverfront. Warm greeting from staff and a couple of interesting chats with the owners made us feel very welcome. Chalet was fine with nice view - just surprised that the kitchenette only has microwave, kettle and cutlery - no cooking rings or pots/pans. So only way to do eggs in the morning is scrambled in the micro! We ate (pre-booked) dinners in the dining area and these were a real highlight - top class food and friendly atmosphere.
