Not as good as some other Gondwana properties we stayed in. No curtains to block sunrise, sockets in room and door locks a bit wonky and tree squirrels get into room and eat any food. Great location to visit Chobe and Vic Falls but worth combining those and overnight in Kasane, there are tours that would allow this. Lovely area for dinner round the fire. Nice pool with view.
Der eine Stern dient der Aufmerksamkeit und drückt unsere Enttäuschung und Verärgerung über entgangene Urlaubszeit aus.
Erstmal zum Positiven:
Sehr schöne und großzügig geschnittene renovierte bzw. neue Zeltunterkunft mit Klimaanlage (bei 40° allerdings kaum eine Abkühlung bemerkbar) und kleinem Kühlschrank. Großes Bett mit schönen Moskitoschutz-Gardinen, großer Balkon mit Ausblick, großes Bad mit guten Handtüchern und Pflegeprodukten.
Kleiner Pool, schöner Bereich, in dem das Abendessen (ca. 20 €) als 3-Gang-Buffet angeboten wird. Frühstück und Abendessen sehr lecker.
Nun leider zum Negativen:
Wir hatten drei Nächte gebucht und direkt am ersten Abend weitere zwei Nächte angefragt. Diese Buchung wurde uns am nächsten Morgen sicher zugesagt. Am Morgen des Zimmerwechsels dann die Überraschung: Es war plötzlich doch kein Zimmer frei! Die Dame an der Rezeption gab sich große Mühe, ein herbeigerufener Vorgesetzter verschwand einfach kommentarlos und ließ sie mit dem Problem alleine. Nach langem Warten bekamen wir ein Angebot für eine 80 km entfernte, zweieinhalbmal so teure Unterkunft.
Wir mussten dann auf die Schnelle etwas buchen, um nicht obdachlos zu sein und konnten so leider nicht mehr wie geplant, den Chobe-Nationalpark besuchen. Eine riesige Enttäuschung :(
Wir haben nicht danach gefragt, aber ein kleines Entgegenkommen bei der Abrechnung oder in anderer Form, hätten wir für die mehr als großen Unannehmlichkeiten schon erwartet.
Der ideale Platz in Namibia, um sich ein paar Tage Ruhe zu gönnen, Tiere zu beobachten oder auch die Viktoria-Fälle zu besuchen. Sehr, sehr leckeres Essen in einem unvergleichlichem Ambiente.

Schlechte Erfahrung mit gebuchtem Ausflug
Das Chobe River Camp ist wirklich an sehr schöner Lage direkt am Fluss gelegen. Die festen Zelte auf Stelzen sind sauber aber relativ einfach ausgestattet.
Obwohl wir zwei Nächte gebucht haben, erhielten wir leider die Zelte direkt neben der Baustelle.
Der absolute Tiefpunkt unserer ganzen Reise durch Namibia war der gebuchte Ausflug in den Chobe Nationalpark. Die Chobe River Lodge bietet diesen Ausflug nicht an, vermittelte aber den Ausflug durch einen anderen Anbieter. Kosten 150 US Dollar + Parkgebühr pro Person für 6 Stunden Game Drive. Wir waren der Meinung, dass wir durch das Ngoma Gate in den Park fahren würden. Dem war nicht so. Kurzfassung des katastrophalen Ausflugs: Wir wurden im BUS nach Kasane (57 Km!) zu einer komischen Unterkunft mit kleinem Restaurant gefahren. Dort wurde uns eine Speisekarte in die Hände gedrückt. Nach dem Game Drive kämen wir zurück zum Lunch, wurde uns gesagt. Dann durften wir in ein in die Jahre gekommenes Safarifahrzeug einsteigen. Endlich ging es in den Chobe Nationalpark. Die Sichtung einiger Löwen konnte unsere Stimmung kurzzeitig etwas erhellen.
Wir haben auf den Lunch in Kasane verzichtet und uns wieder 57 Km im BUS zur Ngoma Bridge zurückbringen lassen.
In all den Jahren, in denen wir schon durch Namibia gereist sind, haben wir immer sehr gute Erfahrungen mit Gondwana gemacht. Wir sind enttäuscht und auch sehr überrascht, dass Gondwana einen solchen Ausflug an der Rezeption im Chobe River Camp anbietet!
We had such a great time at Chobe River Lodge. The staff is really kind, the food is great and they are all trying to make your stay really special. We loved the Safari Boat trip. We can definitely recommend the accomodation.
