"Overall I enjoyed the hotel, staff was helpful and friendly. Rooms were very clean, but they need a refresh. The rooms were old, worn. I did love the balcony and view of the watering hole (fun to see the many animals), the bed was comfortable, linens soft. We went to the Bomba show hosted at this property. Would highly recommend, food and show were great! Worth it."

"It was a great stay! Loved the breakfast spread. Also the staff were always so helpful even with organising for Safaris etc, that was a plus and I loved that it was quiet and clean. I will be sure to recommend and also come again."

"Amazingly helpful staff and great location for Chobe river. Downside is the pool is v small and currently a semi construction site with mud, heavy machinery and vehicles. Good for a brief stopover. "

"The staff are wonderful, attentive, charming and incredibly helpful. The game drive's were fantastic with the guide brilliantly knowledgeable, patient and excellent at finding animals to view - we saw a pride of lions relaxing after a hunt, giraffes, zebu, antelope, hippos, baboons, naughty monkeys and hundreds and hundreds of elephants. The best part of Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge apart from the staff is the watering hole. We had breakfast and dinner overlooking the watering hole watching...

"We are a retired couple travelling from Zambia through Botswana to South Africa and I am happy that we found this online. Its all we needed, clean room, comfortable bed, hot shower and staff assisted us in ordering takeaways as we arrived too late to order dinner. I would recommend this establishment"

"Amazing hotel, spacious and clean. I stayed for 3 nights. They help with the overall guest experience while in Kasane and the service is great. The food is always on point. I just wish they could add a fitness facility."

Was fantastic staff couldn’t be more attentive, it’s a shame that Hotels.com doesn’t pay the bills on time, sometimes the ladies who own their hotel don’t get paid for two months

Lovely clean rooms with very large comfortable beds. Excellent food and superb customer service. We also enjoyed the pool and small gym. Would return on our next visit to Kasane.

Very very clean rooms. Great breakfast and light lunch - both included. On riverfront with great view of sunset. No insects despite Kasane being full of bugs. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Amazing little guesthouse with super friendly staff and the cutest dogs and cat! We really loved our time there and want to come back. The 6-hour safari was perfect, and so was the river cruise safari. We spotted so many animals. We also used the daytrip option to Victoria Falls and it all went smoothly.
The only things that could've made it better are an electric gate (so you don't need someone to open it for you), mosquito nets on the beds, and an option to do a daytrip to Livingstone...

I used Mowana as a fishing lodge a few years back, my brother spent time at Katima Mulilo and said to me that I should visit this area, I did not till after he died of pancreatic cancer. The Chobe bewitched me when I did go and as a bucket list item for myself with bile duct cancer I have just returned to try and show my wife this area in a period of 4 days. achieved using Pyrus Eagles helicopter charter and Dream Safaris boat and guide charter.

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was such a characterful hotel and our room was gorgeous with beautiful views over the Chobe river from the balcony. The game drives and river cruise were really good and a reasonable price. I would say, the service was very up and down, sometimes outstanding, at other times quite cold and disorganised. The same is true of the game drives, one was incredible, the other was quite mediocre. Food too, sometimes was exceptional (like the BBQ at the poolside bar), at...

A lovely lodge located on a gentle hill overlooking the plains. Staff are phenomenal, warm and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. We went on a morning game drive and a sundowner, both were excellently arranged. Whilst there is limited choice for food, breakfast, lunch and dinner were all provided and the food was tasty and homemade well seasoned. They made our daughter chips. We loved the warm rock cakes! The hotel manager is a real gem. The lodge was well signposted and easy to find, it’s...

The food was exceptional. We had a BBQ one evening and were able to invite our friends who were staying at another place. We sat around the camp fire for hours...... Lovely pool! Out in the 'bush'..... Went to sleep listening to the frogs and awoke to fantastic bird song!!!!! Easy to book game drives and visit to Victoria Falls. Highly recommend it!

This is a very basic facility. The owner Sipiwe takes care of all your shipping needs and prepares basic but fresh food on the site. She also provides transportation to excursion points and arranged all our excursions which were really great. Improvements needed
