Serondela Lodge

Serondela Lodge is on the Namibian bank of the Chobe River. The lodge is in a picturesque location, facing the Chobe National Park. Without a doubt, this spot will guarantee wildlife sightings at your doorstep. The eight rooms of Serondela Lodge have the most beautiful river views at sunrise and sunset.

Endless photographic opportunities await you at the spectacular Serondela Lodge. The package offered with your stay ensures proper wildlife sightings and an authentic Chobe experience. Serondela Lodge is only 17km by road from Kasane and 25 km by boat, making it far enough to enjoy some privacy at the lodge.

The lodge is situated precisely in front of the famous sighting spot in the Chobe National Park, called Serondela. It is built in the Kabulabula conservancy area and sometimes, during rainy season, it becomes an island.

Facilities

The main area is a comfortable spot where you can relax and enjoy the splendor of the Chobe River. You can enjoy the spectacular view, read a good book, or dip in the swimming pool. The warmth and charm of the lodge environment is the foundation of the Serondela experience.

There are seven luxury chalets and one family chalet on the property. All the chalets have panoramic views. They are freestanding cottages built with environmentally friendly materials and techniques. The rooms have ample space, each secluded with a private viewing deck where you can enjoy the Chobe River and the abundance of wildlife in the Chobe National Park.

The suites come with large bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and 220-volt power outlets.
