"This lodge is relatively new, and consists of multiple separate units, some with single bedrooms and some with two beds/baths. It is relatively new and all units I saw are in good condition and were very clean; housekeeping staff were thorough. There is a small swimming pool and a restaurant. Staff are uniformly friendly and helpful, and there is an elevated wildlife deck looking out over the Chobe River. We were quite comfortable in the large double-bed room in one of the larger units. The restaurant is fine for breakfast and lunch but selection for dinner was very limited and we went out to eat after two or three dinners there. We did arrange a game drive through Chobe Nat Park through the lodge and we had a great time. Overall, I recommend this lodge, which is about ten minutes from the Chobe Park and just outside Kasane."

"Nice hotel with good breakfast. Some minor improvement points are a mirror in the bathroom and the bathroom door is difficult to close because of the bed. But overall we had a good time here!"

"At Thebe River safari's you can stay both in a hotel room and on a camping ground. There is wifi at the reception but the quality of it goes down if a lot of people use it at the same time. The staff is friendly . The rooms look a little outdated but are still very comfortable. You can go on amazing safari's starting from this lodge in Chobe."

"Large safari themed resort with close proximity to Chobe National Park and Chobe River. Great spa and massage facilities and also adjacent to the 9 hole Chobe Golf Club. Decent breakfast and dinner buffets, although the meats are a battle. Be wary of venturing out on the property after dark as wild animals may present an unwanted meeting. Overall, a comfortable and friendly resort."

"Clean and spacious rooms. The hotel is conveniently located along the main road but also far away enough from the city noise. Only problem is our other room didn't have a safe, so we had to share a safe."

"We arrived at CRL after a long drive and camping experience in Moremi & Savuti. They welcomed us with a refreshing ice-tea and they had no problem for us checking in before 14h00. Our Boat Cruise on the Chobe was excellent & our Guide was superb! We came back before sunset, had a dip in their pool followed by a scrumptious dinner. I came down with heatstroke so my hubby was TOO happy to finish my dinner for me. :) Their beds, might be the best I have slept in. After arriving home & bought myself a new bed too. The ladies at the lodge were very attentive and were helpful when needed. I will definitely recommend CRL to any traveller. Did I also mention their rooms were HUGE! Biggest we've seen on our recent Botswana, Zim & Namibia trip."

"The location of the Lodge, on a section of rapids packed with bird life, is wonderful. The Lodge is amazingly efficient, with great staff across the board. One of the highlights of our 5 days was the exceptional fishing guide. Feedback from our group indicated that they were all good but our guide, Robert, made our trip. His knowledge of bird life is encyclopedic - and he's an amazing fishing guide and great company. We were looked after at every turn: meals, drinks, snacks on every boat trip and visit to the bar, transport from the airport...simply exceptional"

"The Lodge is a great place to stay. The rooms were attractive and looked out on a lawn and the river. Wart Hogs and Bush Bucks were seen every day on the lawn. The dining room and bar both had good views over the river. We did both the sunset river cruise and game drives. The river cruises had very good captains with extensive knowledge of the animals and birds. Any birder would be excited to have so many birds identified. Saw a lot of game coming to the river including Croc, hippo, elephant, cape buffalo and several types of deer/antelope. This was a very relaxing activity and the gin and tonic made it all the more enjoyable. Our game drivers did a good job trying to find a variety of animals. We were lucky enough to see a pride of lions and a couple of different leopards. Since we were there at the end of the dry season, most of the animals were spending a lot of time near the river, but we still saw a good bit of game when we were further inland. There are a lot of game drive vehicles in the park so if there is anything of particular interest (leopards/lions) the drivers usually hear about it, increasing your chance of finding the animal. The downside is that this means a lot of trucks around the animals, but the drivers were good about taking turns to get the best views. The food was good. At breakfast (after the morning game drive) you could order a hot meal and it was supplemented with a large buffet. The fruit was fresh and the bread choices were high quality/fresh baked. A lot of misc choices as well. Afternoon lunch was available at the bar area. A limited menu, but again the food was very good. For dinner there were a couple of place you could eat. We just went to the main dining area which had a buffet. Each night there was themed option (Italian, Indian, etc), but also a lot of other choice such as stir fry, carved chicken, carved beef etc. Again the quality and quantity was good. The rooms were well put together. Air Con worked and in the hot/dry season a blessing. There were attractive mosquito nets around the bed, at night, but we never saw any mosquitos inside or outside. WiFi was good. We were in a unit that was about a 5 minute walk to the main lodge, but that was fine. If mobility impaired, try to get a closer room. Bottled water was supplied, and some very light snacks were provided. The balcony let you look out over the river and see the animals on the lawn We would stay here again if we ever get back."
