Ok, I have just sorted our Kasane Accommodation for 2 nights, which will also be our base for visiting Chobe.

I have gone for only two nights in order to get the rail option to work, as it only has limited departures.

We after much discussion selected The Old House: http://www.oldhousekasane.com/

* Staying actually in Chobe would have been too rushed given the two days
* The Old House is easy, and economical, to transfer to from Livingstone, and also for the afternoon flight from Kasnae Airport to JNB. This will allow us to make the most of our 3 days/ 2 nights at Kasane/Chobe.
* That for us the main feature of Chobe, and point of difference from the other game areas we will be staying at/near, is the water access and boat cruises for wildlife viewing. The Old House is good for this. Also canoe trips are an option too.
* It has good access for a game drive in Chobe
* It will also for our trip provide the experience of staying in a small African Town.
* It is very economical with good features and reviews. A lot of the Chobe options are very expensive. One we liked in the Chobe Safari Lodge was booked out already (as a sister property is behind schedule for opening, they have placed all bookings from 2 properties there).
