Good hostel, far from the centre of Kasane but they run a free shuttle in the mornings if you need to go and get supplies which nicely offsets the remote location. Pool could use a clean and some lounge chairs. Rooms get very warm, so mosquito nets would be great to be able to sleep more freely and comfortably. Staff are really lovely and helpful.

Great place, very friendly reception staff (thank you Tjedu and Nalehdi for all the help and the nice talks we had). You can walk 15 min from the shared taxi stop, on the asfalt road, or take a taxi to the hostel for BWP 50,- or 60,- The hostel has many different activities they can organise, but you sometimes need minimum amount of people to join. They helped me a lot. Good value for money, dorm has airconditioning from 18:00, shower and toilet are clean (but outside). All in all, a good place.

Had a lovely stay at Elephant trail and would recommend to anybody hoping to visit Chobe as they offer very good deals. The hostel is in a very remote area so I can't imagine visiting or staying for long so don't expect too much. They offer sizable meals and have a drinks fridge. The staff were very helpful in helping me organise a bus, and Sega was very friendly too :). Not a massive traveller atmosphere there but nonetheless a great stay
