ACTIVITIES;
Chobe Savanna Lodge has wonderful communal facilities which include a swimming pool and an open boma area on the banks of the Chobe River.
Unlike other properties, where scheduled game activities are prioritized, we offer guests the choice of just taking "time out" or joining in on one of the many activities offered at the lodge.
Guests have a choice of boat excursions in small maneuverable boats, which are ideal for close up encounters with wildlife along the rivers edge, fishing (catch & release) for bream or tigerfish, and cultural village visits to one of the surrounding local communities, where guests can observe the deep-rooted traditional life styles of the local people.
During the past few years, our guests have been visiting Ijambwe Village, which has existed on the floodplains of East Caprivi for over 100 years.
The area which falls under the Ijambwe Nduna (headman) is approximately 12km² in size and comprises of a number of smaller villages, which all report to the Nduna at Ijambwe.
The main village which is visited on our cultural tours is home to approximately 50 people made up of 11 families living in 11 mud and grass homes.
All children between the ages of 6 and 16 attend school at Mbalasinte which is 1½ hours walk from the village.
Children wanting to continue their education past grade 10 attend school at Ngoma or Katima Mulilo, which is approximately 100km from the village.
Ijambwe has traditionally existed on a subsistence basis, tending cattle, planting crops and fishing.
However since the children have started attending school, money is required for purchasing uniforms and books and so the villagers have started drying their fish and taking them to Kasane to sell in the market.
