My wife and I visited Ngoma at the suggestion of our travel agent. We had little idea what we were in for, and we were blown away when we arrived, and throughout our visit. First, the view from the lodge and rooms is absolutely amazing. They should setup a webcam so that I can stream that every day! You have 180 degree views of the savannah, river, drinking pool, and flood plains, where you get animals coming in all day to drink and travel through. We saw baboons, kudu, zebras, impala, elephants, hippos, and more. The service and food were amazing. Our guide Nelson was informative and knowledgeable. We had great tours of Chobe. Samson and Ismhal provided for our every need. Christine was amazing. We had a great time!!

From pickup at Kasane to the lodge is about 45 minutes and Phil our driver pointed out various animals on the way. We were in room 3 which was excellent (see photo taken from bed) . Our personal guide was MK who took us on all our game drives and boat trip. We saw so many animals including lions, but no leopard unfortunately. MK is an amazing guide we learnt so much about every animal we saw, his knowledge of the animals and the park is incredible as each drive we took a different route to see different environments. The lodge is very comfortable and the service we received was excellent. Mascom, who looked after us, remembered which drinks we preferred and was always attentive. The food was excellent carefully prepared by Sansom and his team and on Saturday night we had a Bomma outside around an open fire and were entertained by the staff and had some amazing local dishes. It was a fabulous experience to lie in bed listening to the sounds of the jungle outside at night. Waking up in the morning to see what animals were drinking at the waterhole was really special. Thank you to all of you for a wonderful time.

Een prachtige lodge met mooi uitzicht op de chobe rivier met erachter Namibië. Een prachtige kamer, steen, zeer groot bed met ruime klamboe en prachtige badkamer met zeep, shampoo en bodylotion. Naast het bed verschillende stopcontacten, ook Europese, dus opladen geen probleem. Een heerlijke lunch en 2x een geweldig diner, geserveerd door Esther onze persoonlijke zeer gewaardeerde en super aardige serveerster gedurende de 2 dagen die we er waren. Bij voor, hoofd en nagerecht kon je uit 2 mogelijkheden kiezen. Het was zeer goed en lekkere wijnen erbij. In de 1e middag een drive door het chobe national park met een super gids en meteen zeer veel olifanten en giraffen gezien. De 2e dag na een prima uitgebreid ontbijt een hele dag op pad geweest. In de ochtend een boottocht van 3,5 uur over de chobe rivier, met dezelfde gids en groep van in totaal 6 als de 1e dag. In de middag een game drive van 4 uur terug naar de lodge met onderweg een lunch midden in het park, meegebracht vanuit de lodge en dat was heel leuk en erg lekker. Een geweldige lodge,mooi aangelegd, goede voorzieningen en zeer vriendelijk personeel. Zeker aan te bevelen en een goede prijs kwaliteits verhouding.

We spent 5 nights at Ngoma Safari Lodge as part of our honeymoon and it was an incredible experience. The team ensured that it was special from start to finish, with immaculate attention to detail and even including some unexpected gifts and special experiences as part of the stay. Meshack, Nelson, Samson, Ishmael, Mascom, Neo and MK (the guide) were all very caring and personable. Exchanging both animal encounter and life stories with them was very interesting! The food and drink were also worth of the 5 star label. Samson and his team are highly skilled chefs, delivering delicious meals throughout. Overall we highly recommend this stay, especially for honeymoon couples. Thanks Ngoma team, we will be back!

Ngoma Safari Lodge, Chobe Forest Reserve, Botswana My husband and I stayed at the beautiful Ngoma Safari Lodge for 3 nights in late January 2025 in Chobe Forest Reserve, Botswana, right outside Chobe National Park. We had a wonderful time. The lodge was simply amazing. Everywhere you looked the lodge décor was beautiful. The view from the lodge, the main building and our unit, was a million dollar view over the grassy plains below. Animals could be seen grazing and roaming below. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had 2 safari drives a day, given by our expert safari guide Jo. The food was topnotch. We were taken such good care of the entire time. I wish we could have stayed longer. We would recommend Ngoma to anyone visiting the Chobe National Park in Botswana, it was definitely 5 star all the way.

Der Blick von der Lodge über die Ebene ist wirklich einzigartig. Und den hat man sowohl vom Restaurant, als auch von allen Bungalows. Großartig! Die Betreuung durch das Personal (wir hatten wirklich Spaß!) als auch das Essen waren tipptopp. Besonders genossen haben wir die Ganztagessafari am Chobe per Boot und dann im Jeep. Sam, unser Guide, hat uns mit seinen Adleraugen unheimlich viel gezeigt. Vielen Dank!

This lodge is masquerading as a 5-star lodge, when it is not and not worth the price at all. I have stayed at many lodges across east and Southern Africa, and this lodge was below the standard experienced in those lodges. Hospitality from the staff was not genuine at all and it was extremely obvious. Food was OK, but nothing outstanding. It was also very uncomfortable that dinner on one night was at a set time for all guests and we were made to all sit together on one table without even asking if we were OK with that. The phone in the room wasn’t working, which is an absolute necessity at an unfenced lodge as you can’t walk out alone. However, I appreciate the effort of the team to fix it. Although this is something that should have been checked before I checked in. I had terrible food poisoning on the last night and was in excruciating pain, vomiting all night. The manager had to take me to the hospital the next morning. It was clear that I got it from the lodge but the immediate reaction from the front desk lady was that I was dehydrated, immediately shifting blame. I had to miss the game drive the next morning and the other guests on the drive also missed it. Staff were quick to say that they “weren’t feeling well”, but I’m pretty sure one of them also has food poisoning. This lodge is absolutely NOT worth the price and I would not recommend it. The only positive is that the room was big and the bed comfortable, although found the way the bathroom was right behind the bed odd in an open concept.

We had an amazing time at Ngoma. The resort is lovely with an incredible view, beautiful/spacious/comfortable rooms, amazing staff, food, and game drives/boat rides. On top of our fantastic experience, we love that the proceeds from the lodge help support the 5 villages in the local area. Most of the staff are also local to these villages as well. Some details below. We arrived Thursday afternoon in time for an afternoon game drive with 2 other pairs and our guide, Sam, who was very knowledgeable. Chobe reserve closes at 7pm, So, Sam drove us around the West side of the park for a few hours, with a stop for a sundown toast. Be prepared to capture the amazing sunsets around Chobe. We returned to Ngoma for a lovely dinner. Chef Samson and his team were great and the food was fantastic! Throughout the visit, I sampled beef dishes (Botswana has the best beef in the world), vegetarian dishes, amazing appetizers, sides and deserts. There truly wasn’t a dish I disliked. Friday was the best day of our trip. Ngoma arranged an all-day trip. We started after breakfast with about a 40-minute drive to the Western side of Chobe where we started our morning with a boat ride down the river. The animals along the river are fantastic. We saw elephants, crocodiles, hippos, giraffes, and so much more. In fact, we saw so many animals that our guide decided we should eat lunch on the boat instead of driving to the planned lunch spot. This was a beautiful place to eat the fantastic lunch provided for us. After lunch, we began the drive across the park back to the West gate. Sam was incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to look to find the hidden lions and cubs under the brush as well as the more obvious animals. We saw so many animals in one day it was amazing. One note for those like me who are fatigue easily and are sensitive to heat like, the full day is really long and - at least in November- extremely hot. Saturday, we woke up really early for a 5:30am game drive back in the West side of the park. It was peaceful and quiet but we didn’t see a lot of animals. We returned to Ngoma for breakfast and watching the baboons try and sneak into the main house to steal food and an outing to our guide’s local village where we had the opportunity to visit the school (but not see the kids bc it was Saturday) and purchase some local wares (mostly baskets) from vendors. After lunch, we relaxed for a while- I highly recommend a soak in your personal plunge pool while looking out over the park. Followed by another afternoon game drive and a surprise communal dinner in the boma with all the guests (including bonfire, music and more delicious food). We had a great stay and would definitely return. Special shoutouts to our guide, Sam, our butler, Ishmael, and the manager, Neo, who all went above and beyond to take care of us. A few things it might be helpful for others to know: 1) the staff are incredibly accommodating and can help with almost any r
