"While in Botswana with Enterprise Officer Wilfred, we visited Ngoma Lodge. A new lodge, Ngoma is nestled into the landscape with spectacular views out over the plains and the Chobe River below. Using local woods and stones, the lodge has been built with beautiful detailing, and a nice incorporation of African design. As you enter the lodge, you walk into and through the reception area, coming out onto a large open area on the back, stretching across in wooden walkways. Tables are set underneath a Baobab tree, and a viewing platform offers you a closer look at animals coming through the area. Like Machenje Lodge that is currently under construction in Zambia, Ngoma Lodge is tied to the local community and people, with profits tying back into further land conservation and community enrichment. Offering beautiful views and a unique African experience, Ngoma Lodge is an eco-tourists dream."
