Opening of the Kasane Border - Chobe Water Villas
I trust this email finds you well in these challenging times.
It is with great pleasure, to share with the industry that the Kasane border between Botswana and Namibia is now open, which makes access to Chobe Water Villas much smoother.
We would thus like to share the process when entering from Kasane. All guests can travel through Kasane again. However, if they do not want to go the PCR route, it is still possible to gain access to the lodge through the Namibian side (please check in with the lodge as it very much depends on the dry/wet season). However, if guests enter through Kasane, please note that a valid negative PCR test is required (please familiarize yourself with the travel regulations for the respective countries you will be traveling through).
If guests depart via Kasane, the tests can be done at Kasane River Border the day before departure. Please note that it is a nose and throat swab and results will be available the next day. It’s an easy process & is 15 minutes (one way) by boat from our lodge. The cost is Pula 500 and the guest/s need to pay in CASH and in Pula. This is very important as they do not have card facilities.
Once guests arrive at Kasane immigration we will pick them up by boat to Impalila Island for passport stamping, the drive by boat is 20 minutes to go to Impalila Island and 20 minutes to Chobe Water Villas.
If guests would be interested in doing day trips to Vic Falls, we can also facilitate this. Zimbabwe’s land borders are still closed but we can arrange the flights and transfers.
As for Chobe Park land activities, we are offering this again, guests however will need a valid negative PCR test (which will be an additional charge for the guest). We have done both activities and it has worked very well.
