Located near the Chobe Game Reserve, Mowana Safari Resort and Spa lies on the banks of the Chobe river in an enchanting surroundings. The Resort was named after the baobab tree (mowana means baobab in Tswana language).

We ended our rushing African trip with 3 nights and 2 relaxing days at Mowana Safari Resort. We did two safari game drives and two boat cruise safaris on the Chobe river. See our waymark WMJF2T (visit link)
