"Oasis by the River."
1 night Arrived 26 Sep 2008
"What a pretty camp and a great surprise. After a long dusty journey we arrived to a warm and jolly welcome from Eddy and Yvonne.
Our accommodation was a rondavel set in pretty gardens overlooking the river. The room had aircon. a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities and was very comfortable. There was a lovely swimming pool and a welcoming bar. We went on a sundowner champagne cruise with Louis and saw lots of birds and local people going about their daily tasks.
Some neighbours dropped in for a drink and it was interesting to hear about their lives before the chef cooked us excellent steaks on the braai. As we were interested in birds Louis took us for an early morning walk which was very productive. This is a delightful lodge and we could easily have stayed longer in its relaxed and friendly atmosphere." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia

"Tropical paradise on the Kavango river."
1 night Arrived 28 Aug 2008
"After driving through Rundu we were concerned about this lodge, but were very pleasantly surprised at how lush and comfortable the accomdations were.
The sunset boat cruise was pleasant and allowed us to see beautiful birds and a gorgeous sunset as well as local villagers going about their everyday lives." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
