Mowana Safari Lodge

Destination

Chobe

Mowana. The place where the mighty baobab marks the entry into the mysterious ways of the African wild, Step into Mowana and sense the splendours that await you beyond the lodge's elegant luxury. The mighty Chobe River where the river god will reveal to you the secrets of his watery domain, the Chobe Game Reserve that will delight you with a parade of fascinating creatures, the most spectacular of which must surely be its forty five thousand elephant. Feel the magic at the point where four African countries meet - Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe - to indulge your senses with a wealth of sights and sounds: the awesome power of mighty waters, the soothing silence of the semi-desert, the hundred harmonies of birdsong, the blazing sun that fires your spirit... Feel all this and know that your African dream at Mowana goes on and on. Let yourself be transported into Mowana's world of wonders while you breakfast on a river cruiser greeted by the yawn of a hippo. Be initiated into ruthless, raw nature by an expert guide. Feel the fear of the buffalo us the lion sinks its teeth into its neck, Hear the witchlike call of hyenas as they gather for the spoils, while above, the vultures circle and circle. Listen to the legendary NyamiNyami calling you to his dwelling place where thundering falls veil the world with their mists. Feel the African beat in your body as you wade down the river in your mokoro, and the African fire in your heart as you ride a wild rapid on your raft. And when you've got your breath back and you've soothed your burning skin in a sparkling pool, toast the blushing sky with exotic nectars mixed specially for you.
