A haven for those who seek adventure, connection, and tranquillity.

Whether you’re an avid angler, passionate birder, photographer, or simply someone who loves the wild, our Impalila Island retreat offers an all-inclusive and unforgettable river safari experience on the Chobe River.

With personalised guided activities, breathtaking wildlife encounters, and the soothing rhythm of the river, your time with us promises an immersive experience.

Ichingo Lodge, a land-based tented lodge with no minimum night stay, is the ideal stopover before boarding one of our houseboats


Nestled on the secluded Impalila Island in Namibia, Ichingo Chobe River Lodge is surrounded by breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, birdlife and direct access to the Chobe River. Quieter, more secluded and personalised the lodge is ideal for families, couples or groups who wish to enjoy the very best of an African river safari and fishing experience.

The accommodation consists of eight large air-conditioned Meru safari tents with en suite bathrooms and private balconies. The main lodge buildings include a relaxing lounge area, a welcoming bar, outdoor pool with a viewing deck with loungers overlooking the river, and a separate open-air dining room for all meals. Unwind and enjoy the sights, sounds and fun activities of a true river safari experience.


There is no best or worst time to visit the Chobe area, because every month offers visitors something special. If you’re looking for a pure wildlife experience, the drier winter months from May to October see greater concentrations of game along the banks of the Chobe River. The summer months from November to April see the birdlife explode with the addition of the summer migrants to the area. If you’re a fishing enthusiast, you’ll be excited to know that we have excellent fishing through the summer and winter – it’s just that the techniques we use change.
