Luxurious & relaxing game viewing:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This luxury houseboat is a recommended alternative to a lodge along the <\/span><\/span>Chobe<\/span><\/span> River<\/span><\/span>. If you book three (out of total four) double rooms you will be the only guests on this boat. As we were two families with a teen each we were able to do so. We did this on the occasion of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0our brilliant\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Botswana<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>Namibia<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Victoria <\/span><\/span>Falls<\/span><\/span> fly-in safari, expertly guided by Ultimate Safaris.<\/a> S<\/span><\/span>ightings included the Big 5, cheetah, wild dog and sitatunga.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The houseboat offers medium sized rooms with a small bathroom. And it comes with all the necessary equipment of normal hotel rooms. In addition to your (private) room there is a dining area with a bar, a lounge area, a plunge pool and a small sundeck. It was a great experience, and everything was for our own use.

<\/span><\/span>As far as the culinary side is concerned, three meals and all drinks are included in the rate. The cuisine was really good, among the best of our trip. Service wise we have no complaints, the staff was eager to please.<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/span>The houseboat cruised along the <\/span><\/span>Chobe<\/span><\/span> River<\/span><\/span> and we could see plenty of animals from the deck (elephants, hippos, buffalos and other game). For closer game viewing two speed boats were at our disposal,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and one day we even had the chance to observe a lion kill, awesome!

All things considered, the Ichobezi Makwae Houseboata is a superb and relaxing way of game viewing!<\/span><\/span>
