Drotsky’s Cabins

Top choice in Okavango Delta

This lovely, welcoming lodge lies beside a channel of the Okavango River. The chalets have air-con; the A-frames are fan only. Boats can be rented and the bar-restaurant serves breakfast/lunch/dinner for P150/180/220. The campsite is similarly attractive and there’s a boat to take you to the restaurant in the evening.

The lodge is about 5km southeast of Shakawe and around 4km east of the main road. Set amid a thick riverine forest, it’s very secluded, with fabulous birdwatching and fine views across the reeds and papyrus.
