I stayed at Muchenje this past January and thought that it was great. The owners were super friendly (as were all the staff) and the guide I had for the 3 days/2 nights I was there went out of his way find the animals I wanted to see. The trip out on the boat on the Chobe was the best part of the safari. The small number of guests at the lodge during the green season also meant much smaller groups heading out on safari each day.

I found the Green season in Chobe to be full of animals and saw thousands along the river. The only downside of the green season appears to be the obvious fact that it is much more difficult to see animals in the bush--particularly the cats that are much smaller in numbers than the elephants, giraffe, zebra, etc.
