I was on a tour of Botswana and Zimbabwe, this was our first stop off. Lovely rooms, grounds and staff. A few of us bought the wrong adapters (wrong info from our tour company). Thankfully the Lodge hired out the correct ones for a fully refundable deposit. We had a very good game drive the following morning followed by an excellent boat safari on the Chobe river-- both run by the lodge. Our guide on the boat, Peace. was excellent. He gave us a safety briefing- with a bit of humour, so we could easily take it in. Cold drinks on the boat could be charged to our Lodge room. Peace was informative, patient and got us as near as he could to any animal/s without disturbing them. In the distance we could see boats all heading to the same spots, we assumed we'd follow too but Peace would take us somewhere else, just our boat, viewing a rare herd of animals or being next to quite a big alligator on land which suddenly jumped into the water in front of us a few minutes later- making us all jump too. We'd then join the other boats to see the elephants, giraffes, baboons etc etc. We talked about this boat safari and the alligator for the remainder of our tour despite all the other amazing things we saw.
