The game viewing at Impalila Island Lodge has been superlative lately. Guests are regularly being treated to the delightful sight of elephants crossing the river right in front of the lodge and it truly is a wonderful experience to watch them take advantage of the cool water to frolic and play a little bit as well. Guests who have ventured out onto the Chobe River on a River Game Cruise have also been rewarded with the sight of lions on the banks of the Chobe River, as well as a host of other sightings including elephants, crocodiles, hippos and lechwe. Another unforgettable river experience is a romantic beach picnic – A picnic lunch on a sandbank in the upper Zambezi, which gives the sense of being marooned on your own private desert island… Impalila guests were recently overheard declaring that it was the highlight of their stay.
