HOTELS & CAMPING

Make yourselves at home

No need to research hotels or figure out bookings.

Choose an option in each town and reach out to us and we'll help you book!

For stays we’re arranging, please send us your first choice as soon as possible so we can reserve rooms before they fill up. If you choose a luxury hotel or lodge, please book directly with the property as early as you can.

Tell us which activities you’d like to join in your RSVP. You can update your answers as your plans come together.

We’ll stay in two different places for the wedding celebrations! First, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe for July 25–27 (two nights), then Kasane in Botswana for July 27–29 (two nights), where we’ll have the wedding ceremony. It’s about an hour’s drive between the two, plus time for the border crossing.

Victoria Falls is our main arrival airport for the trip. Kasane is the closest town to Victoria Falls that we can reach with the houseboat we’re building, so that’s where we’ll celebrate on the river! The scenic drive through this beautiful wildlife region is part of the adventure, and we’re excited to share two different places with you. We’ll travel from Victoria Falls to Kasane together and help everyone at the border. You won’t need to organize the transfer yourself.

We’re confirming room and campsite availability for the group. For stays we’re arranging, message us your preferred option and we’ll share the details. Livvy and Freddy will reach out directly to the 22 guests staying at Chobe House.

It’s a bit different on this side of the world: lodges often charge per person, per night rather than per room. All prices below are in USD per person, per night, based on two people sharing a room or tent. Travelodge’s room price has been divided between two guests so you can compare every option on the same basis. If you’re travelling solo, just ask us. Chobe House stays are being arranged directly with the guests staying there.

July 27–29, 2027 · 2 nights

Arrive on the morning of July 27 and leave on the morning of July 29. Two nights: July 27 and 28. Choose one option for the wedding and Chobe activities.

Glamper capacity and availability to confirm

Allow $75–100USD per person, per night
Approximately NAD 1,250–1,660 per person, per nightApproximate priceBased on 2 people sharing a room

A furnished glamping stay in the bush, with a proper bed and linen, private bathroom, outdoor deck and braai area. Senyati has a floodlit waterhole and an underground elephant-viewing hide. We’re checking how many guests can stay in the Glamper accommodation for July 27 and 28. This is a separate property from Chobe House, so we’ll coordinate transport for the wedding activities.

About this price

Provisional planning allowance of US$75–100 per person, per night for two people sharing the furnished Chobe Glamper. This is our budgeting estimate, not a published lodge rate or a July 2027 quote. Senyati previously advertised a two-night Glamper offer at BWP1,999, but its date and pricing basis are unclear, so we are not treating that offer as a current rate. We’ve requested the exact July 27–29, 2027 price, availability, capacity, minimum stay and inclusions. Budget separately for meals, transfers and activities until confirmed.
