Where Nkanga Hotel sits
Nkanga Hotel stands in Kasane, in the far north-east of Botswana, close to the Chobe River and the entrance to Chobe National Park. Kasane is the gateway town for Chobe and the crossing point for Victoria Falls, and the hotel is centrally placed for both.
The rooms
The Botswana Tourism Organisation records the hotel at 21 rooms. Room types are Double or Standard, Twin or Duplex, and Family or Executive, so the property covers a solo business traveller, a couple, and a family in one building. Rooms are described as spacious and well appointed.
In-room and service
Rooms come with tea and coffee making facilities and daily housekeeping, and reception is staffed 24 hours. Free parking is available on site, which matters in Kasane where most visitors arrive self-driving or in a transfer vehicle.
Chobe on the doorstep
The hotel positions itself on proximity: Kasane’s leading attractions and the Chobe riverfront are close by. Chobe National Park holds one of the densest elephant populations in Africa, and the classic activities are a morning game drive into the park and an afternoon boat cruise on the river.
River cruises and game drives
The hotel arranges activities for guests, with river cruises and wildlife excursions the main draws. From Kasane the boat is generally the more reliable of the two for photography, since the game comes down to the water in the late afternoon.
Banqueting and events
Nkanga has banquet and event facilities and takes corporate meetings as well as celebrations. That is worth knowing if you are travelling to Kasane for work rather than for safari, since it is a different proposition from the riverfront safari lodges.
Using Kasane as a base
Kasane is where four countries meet, and it is within easy reach of both the Zimbabwean and Zambian approaches to Victoria Falls. A town hotel like this suits travellers who want to base themselves in Kasane and take activities out, rather than stay inside a lodge with a fixed programme.
Who it suits
Business visitors to Kasane, families needing a room that takes more than two, and travellers who want a comfortable, practical town hotel with parking and 24-hour reception rather than a safari camp. It is a hotel, not a lodge in the bush.
