Ichingo Chobe River Lodge is a luxury tented lodge accommodating a maximum of sixteen guests in large twin bedded Meru tents, each with cupboards, tables, electric lights etc, plus its own private thatched en-suite bathroom and balcony. All tents overlook the river with the main lodge buildings being built over the river and consisting of a lounge and bar with a separate dining room, all under thatch and situated under large shady trees.
Ichingo Lodge offers game viewing by boat into the Chobe National Park where huge herds of elephants come down to drink together with an extensive array of other game such as buffalo, giraffe, kudu, waterbuck, puku, lechwe, impala and baboons. The evening boat trip, with quiet sundowners on the river surrounded by elephants is an unforgettable experience.
Fishing for tigerfish and bream in both the Chobe and Zambesi Rivers is a must for all keen fishermen. There is access to over 100 kilometers of rivers providing excellent fishing in what is undoubtedly the premier tiger fishing water in Africa. The Ichingo Lodge is particularly renown for the quality of its guides and their success in landing tigerfish, especially when fly-fishing. High quality tackle is available for guest use.
Excursions by Mekoro (dugout canoe) into the small islands which exist in the Chobe River and form part of the rapid system. The experienced polers are also knowledgeable in all the various bird species to be found during the trip.
Guided walks on the Island are very interesting as there is a varied ecology and the villages offer an insight into traditional African life. From the top of an ancient Baobab tree one can view the meeting place of the four countries. Bird watching at Ichingo is a year round pleasure with over 400 recorded species and a combination of waterbirds and good dry land birds on the island. It is an excellent place to see all the summer migrants from September through to March.
White water canoeing in the Chobe rapids is possible opposite the Lodge. It is an exhilarating experience, but is dependant upon the level of the river and the expertise of the canoeist.
The Lodge has its own airstrip on the island with customs and immigration facilities.
