    More about Serondela Lodge

    The stay

    Serondela Lodge is located on the Namibian banks of the Chobe River, directly facing the Chobe National Park. The lodge offers an exclusive wildlife experience within a dynamic conservancy area. It operates as part of Wild Waters Lodges, an umbrella company committed to sustainable tourism. Serondela Lodge minimises negative environmental and socio-cultural impacts, promoting positive contributions such as cultural exchange and local traditions. The lodge participates in a contract between the Kabulabula conservancy and the Micheletti family, who also operate two other lodges in Namibia's Linyanti area. These ventures are part of a conservancy programme supported by IRDNC and WWF Namibia. The lodge is situated in front of the Serondela area within the Chobe National Park. This area functions as a major elephant corridor and a hunting ground for lions. Guests receive attentive service, with Laura and Simone Micheletti overseeing operations, drawing on their experience managing Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge.
