When you were a nipper – or indeed an adult sitting bored on a bus – did you wistfully dream of some day being on big game safari in the depths of Africa?
If you haven't managed it thus far – or if you have and sensibly want to manage it all over again – do so among the peace, first-rate facilities and splendid sights from family-run Mwandi View, in the Chobe District in Botswana's north west. The traditional village of Kavimba is four kilometres to the south east, with a sealed road running all the way to the site.
Game viewing is simple from Mwandi View because of its setting along the Chobe River and among three of the country's main migration routes: zebra and hippos are often seen here, elephants lumber alongside and water buck come down to drink at the river every evening. It's 18 kilometres from more wildlife watching at the Chobe National Park, and enroute to Savuti and the Okavango Delta, in an area known for its prolific birdlife and spectacular sunsets.
Another splendid feature is Mwandi's ease for booking activities round and about this wildlife haven: the owners use local operators so they can support the local community, for a range of active days out including day and night game drives, river cruises (Kasane Based), day trips to Victoria Falls, bush walks and mokoro trips.
Back at base, relaxation time might revolve around the infinity pool and the bar, and there's also fishing available. Mwandi View is shaded by Natal mahogany trees and has a washing-up area, showers and toilets. Barbecues and campfires are both allowed.

Local attractions
What lush land is this for getting out into the outdoors, to the local national parks and their hiking trails, or by river or vehicle into the depth of the local landscape. Bungee jumping, rafting, bush walks, drives and more are available to book on site; ask the Mwandi View team for details of what's on offer.
The Ngoma gate and the entrance to Chobe National Park are about 18 kilometres to the north east. Chobe, Botswana's first national park and the third biggest in size, has four main areas (river, two marshes and arid hinterland) and is known for its high elephant population: around 50,000 wander here, possibly the biggest number in all of Africa. Also look out for cheetahs, hippos, jackals, giraffes, buffalo and thousands of birds.
