The Lodge is located on the south side of Impalila Island. Although this island is in Namibia, it is very close to Botswana’s Chobe National Park so the lodge is an excellent base for exploring the wildlife along the Chobe River.

Our Yellow Zebra Opinion
  • One to discuss with us
Located on a private island, Ichingo has a stunning location and reliably good service standards throughout. Fairly untested by Yellow Zebra clients overall but a decent property nonetheless. Often booked with the Chobe houseboats.
