Bakwena Lodge is an intimate, privately owned eco-lodge on the banks of the Chobe River. Acquired in 2000 as a barren soccer pitch, this piece of land has been transformed into a refuge for our guests and any wildlife that chooses to share our sanctuary. The Young’s achieved this by patiently growing their dream and re-planting the indigenous riverine woodland that guests will find here today.
