"Tlou Safari Lodge located behind the Tlou Safari Mall where Kasane starts and Kasungula ends.There is also a Puma fuel station. The lodge consists of bungalows with one or two bedrooms. The bungalows have a kitchen with a fridge, cooking plate, microwave oven, boiler and all utensils. A cosy sitting area invites to have a pause in front of the TV-set. You can also enjoy a romantic evening on a terrace. The bathroom has a bath tube and a shower. The air-conditioned bedroom attracts with a very comfortable bed. So, the rooms/bungalows are really very nice. But what makes this place better than other self-catering accommodations is a parking place near the house! The whole site is new and the garden is not yet blooms but the nice plants are already on their way and they will be lush and blossom in a few years. There is also a restaurant and the food was just outstanding. Perhaps, we had luck, but I have never eaten such a good steak in Botswana as it was in Tlou Safari Lodge! And I have been 17 times in Africa and most of them in Botswana. The food was served as a buffet and there was no waiting times. The breakfast was also great. So, I highly recommend visiting the restaurant. We also booked the boat cruise with Tlou Lodge and it was also great. The rates for activities are not high. It is really value for money! The cost/performance ratio is unbeatable. The personal is also very friendly and helpful. We booked already next trip and will stay in Tlou Safari Lodge but in the different bungalow to have a comparison. I wish Maun had also such an accommodation. It is very comfortable kind of accommodation for self drivers."

"Nice hotel with good breakfast. Some minor improvement points are a mirror in the bathroom and the bathroom door is difficult to close because of the bed. But overall we had a good time here!"

"Nice property in Kasane with nearby supermarket and fast food. Pool is not great. Rooms weren’t bad but a bit tight for space, with great climate control. Only 1 key provided which was annoying. Check in was chaotic with excessive numbers of forms - this can be made much more efficient. Wifi was generally working but sometimes spotty. Game drive through the lodge was good."

"From the moment we arrived at Cresta Mowana Safari Resort, our experience was nothing short of exceptional. I was travelling with dear friends from Canada (a couple and their son), and this trip will remain one of our most treasured memories — largely thanks to the outstanding care we received. A very special thank you to Malebogo Sechele, who elevated our stay from excellent to extraordinary. From day one, the service felt personal, thoughtful, and genuinely warm. Malebogo took specific care of us, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. She seamlessly arranged our game drives, transfers, and even organised our unforgettable day trip to Victoria Falls. Every detail was handled effortlessly and professionally, allowing us to simply relax and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Botswana. The game drives were spectacular — thrilling wildlife sightings, knowledgeable guides, and that indescribable feeling of being surrounded by untamed nature. Watching elephants move gracefully across the landscape and experiencing the stillness of the bush at sunset was magical. Our day trip to Victoria Falls was equally breathtaking — powerful, majestic, and beautifully coordinated from start to finish. It was one of those bucket-list experiences that leaves you humbled by nature’s grandeur. The food at the resort was superb — fresh, beautifully prepared, and varied. Every meal felt like an experience in itself. And the sunsets… absolutely glorious. Watching the sun melt into the horizon over the Chobe River, drink in hand, surrounded by friends — pure perfection. What truly sets this resort apart is the warmth of the people. The hospitality is authentic, attentive, and world-class. Because of how well we were looked after, my Canadian friends were so impressed that they are already planning their return visit in August. Botswana has my heart — and Cresta Mowana made it unforgettable. Malebogo Sechele is a treasure We will absolutely be back."

"We stayed overnight 31 December 2025 checking out 01 January 2026 as a family of two adult males, one adult female and one female child. The place is quite homely. Staff at the hotel from check-in and all areas we interacted with were very welcoming and helpful. The buffet dinner was reasonably priced, and excellent, the same for the breakfast. Restaurant staff served well and both meals had reasonable varieties. The layout of the restaurant on the inside and the outside was quite good and refreshing. While we did not use the pool it provided a relaxing environment to the outside garden at th back of the restaurant and adjoining the restuarant."

"An authentic, African river experience in that the location of the tented camp is on the banks of the Chobe river under tall, dense trees. Huge diversity of birds which is ideal for bird photography. The Chobe river is a centre piece of the destination - beautiful in early morning & evening light. Lots of hippo & crocodiles add to the experience. The staff at both the lodge & river boat (Princess 3) are exceptional. Well trained & professional. And friendly. Nothing is too much to ask for. The food on offer is as good as one gets in a 5-star game lodge in Southern Africa. As a bird photographer, the tented camp, guided tender boats and access to the river foliage is better than shooting off the river boat from a photographic boat looking for subjects in the river reed banks. The tender boats are more manoeuvrable than the larger photographic boats. And our guide, Anthony, did a great & patient job putting me in the best place to take photos. The only slightly negative comment, is the state of the tents. They are tired & need to be freshened up. Staff should also open & lighten them up for returning guests. However, my wife & I still loved the entire experience."

"The hotel offers a great all-round service - from the rooms, to the location and the staff. The food was faultless - plenty of choice to suit every taste. The rooms are lovely, spacious, clean and offer plenty of wildlife from the balcony. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are all friendly and helpful. This is the second time we have stayed here, and would not hesitate in coming back again."

"Situated on the banks of the Chobe River, the Chobe River Lodge distinguishes itself from similar establishments in that it has only 12 rooms. This makes the whole experience far more personal - something my wife and I experienced first hand. All the staff were amazing while Anja, in particular, was incredibly attentive. Even before we arrived she was in regular contact ensuring that we were fully prepared for the weather and detailed everything we might need to facilitate smooth border crossings. The excursions Anja organised for us were excellent while the food at the lodge was delicious. Our stay was so enjoyable that we are already making plans for a return visit later this year."
