"Club Med atmosphere"
1 night Arrived 13 May 2017
"This lodge was fully occupied when we visited and this may have clouded our views.
The atmosphere did not seem authentic to us but reminded us somewhat of a Club Med settlement. Bungalows are nice, however, especially those located on the river. Dinner was a rather massive self service affair.
This lodge is fine for a stopover but not for a longer stay in our view." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

"Great view of Angola from Hakusembe"
1 night Arrived 29 Nov 2016
"A comfortable overnight stop to break a long journey. The rooms were spacious and well appointed, and the terrace of the restaurant with its view of Angola across the river was a good place to spend some time.
Everything about the lodge was pleasant without being spectacular, and for us it served its purpose well." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
