Kaza Safari Lodge - Impalila Conservancy

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year to visit Kaza Safari Lodge for optimal wildlife viewing in the Impalila Conservancy?

We find the dry season, from May to October, offers the most rewarding wildlife encounters. The Impalila Conservancy's floodplains recede, concentrating animals around the remaining water sources, making them easier to spot. While the temperatures can be warm, the clear skies and abundant game make it our preferred time to visit.

Beyond game drives, what unique activities does Kaza Safari Lodge offer that truly capture the essence of the region?

We absolutely love the mokoro excursions on the Chobe River, offering a serene perspective on the wildlife and birdlife. Kaza also arranges guided walks into the conservancy, allowing for a more intimate connection with the bush. These activities provide a different rhythm to the safari experience, one we find incredibly enriching.

What kind of accommodation and amenities can we expect at Kaza Safari Lodge, and does it feel luxurious?

The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, with beautifully appointed chalets that blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings. We particularly appreciate the private plunge pools overlooking the river, perfect for a refreshing dip after a day of exploring. Expect comfortable furnishings, excellent service, and a genuine sense of tranquility.

Considering Kaza Safari Lodge is near the Impalila Conservancy, what are the chances of seeing the 'big five' and other notable wildlife?

While the Impalila Conservancy isn't primarily known for lions, we consistently see large herds of elephants, hippos, buffalo, and a fantastic array of antelope species. Birdlife is also exceptional, especially during the wetter months. We recommend focusing on the incredible diversity of species rather than solely on the big five.

What are the practical considerations regarding safety and accessibility when planning a trip to Kaza Safari Lodge?

Getting to Kaza is typically via Kasane Airport in Botswana, followed by a boat transfer across the river, which is an adventure in itself. We've always felt very safe here; the staff are experienced and attentive, and the lodge operates with high safety standards. It's wise to pack light, breathable clothing and good walking shoes.
