Chilwero means ‘place of high view’ in Setswana, and indeed this exclusive lodge boasts panoramic views. Accommodation is in one of 15 elegant bungalows featuring romantic indoor and outdoor showers, private terraced gardens and colonial fixtures adorned with plush linens. The lodge is on expansive grounds that contain a pool, a spa, an outdoor bar and a well-reviewed gourmet restaurant.
The property is set back a little from the riverfront and is surrounded by a fence, meaning you can walk around safely – one big reason why families like this place.
