Fantastic, environmentally friendly accommodation

The proprietors were extremely helpful and went way out of their way to cater for the wishes of guests, including running a private bird-watching trip. They are keen environmentalists and are welcoming to anyone with an interest in nature.

Beautiful place just not loved..

Having driven over Namibia for over 2 weeks this was the one place I will not miss. We felt very unwelcome there. The host despite having our booking on his computer was not aware of our arrival in spite of the fact that we were only one of 2 guests there. We were booked in their rented room, the Zips to the door net were broken, there was no padlock for the tent, the shower head was missing. He promised to replace that but that was the last we saw of him till the next day. The room was not tidied up. All he could say was that he could move us to a chalet but we had to pay N$800pp! Never setting foot on this property again

BETRUG

Vorsicht BetrĂŒger!!! Verspricht großes Zelt fĂŒr 108 €. Bietet dann MilitĂ€rzelt mit offenem Außenbad. ErklĂ€rt dann, man hĂ€tte doch genau das gebucht. Eine Frechheit ohnegleichen. Wir, ein Ă€lteres Ehepaar werden diese Type bei der Staatsanwaltschaft anzeigen. Das Geld hat er kassiert. Wir sind unter Protest abgereist und haben woanders zum gleichen Preis angemessen ĂŒbernachtet.

Tolle und ruhige Unterkunft am River

Sehr nette junge Leute betreiben diese Lodge. Sie sind sehr spontan und haben uns sofort eine Bootstour ermöglicht, als Tiere im River zu sehen waren. Man kann dort eine Menge im River beobachten und sehr gut und ruhig relaxen. Tolle Unterkunft in der Natur, kommen gerne immer wieder !

Uriges Zeltcamp oberhalb des Flusses.

Es handelt sich um ein uriges Zeltcamp oberhalb des Flusses mit Blick auf den Fluss und Blick auf das Nachbarland Sambia auf der anderen Flusseite. Probleme mit MĂŒcken u.Ă€. waren relativ gering und konnten mit entsprechenden Sprays gut in Griff gehalten werden. Sehr freundliches Personal, insbesondere Rachelle, die uns bei der Weiterreise nach Kasane mit Rat und Tat vorbildlich unterstĂŒtzt hat. Gutes FrĂŒhstĂŒck, passables WLAN. ErwĂ€hnenswert auch ein recht fideler Hauspapagei, der mit urigen GerĂ€uschen fĂŒr gute Laune gesorgt hat.

Sehr gute Lodge direkt am Sambesi

Der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Der ganze Aufenthalt war familiĂ€r. Die Lodge gehört einer deutschen Familie, die sich ganz persönlich um das Wohl der GĂ€ste kĂŒmmert. Auch die angebotenen Bootsfahrten waren sehr schön. Die Guides bieten einen hohen Standard an. Interessant dĂŒrften fĂŒr manche GĂ€ste auch die Hausboote sein. Hier werden 3 oder 4 Tagestouren zum Chobe River angeboten. Die Boote können mit bis zu 6 Personen belegt werden. Weniger ist bestimmt entspannter. Dieses Angebot ist einzigartig und eine Überlegung wert. Das nĂ€chste Mal mit Hausboot zum Chobe ist bei uns vorgesehen.
