"Nunda River Lodge review"

"Nunda River Lodge review"
It did remind me of lodges in the 1970s. The outdoor patio on the river was very nice. The highlight was seeing hippos traveling down stream looking like dolphins. I am amazed I have never seen this in a documentary. We slept really well; it was very quiet and the rooms had good airflow.
We also strongly recommend Mahango National Park. We could have spent several more hours there. The birds were terrific. It was only place we saw blue cranes. We also saw lechwe and sable antelope which we have rarely seen and usually in private reserves." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"Good place near Popa Falls"
"Nunda River Lodge review"
The food was very good and we liked the fact that the manager and family ate with the guests and spoke to everyone during the meal. The only disappointment was on the braai night, when some guests took far too much, leaving no seconds for us! So get to the dining room promptly!
It was easy to visit Mahango Park in our vehicle, but we were grateful for the advice on routes from the manager. The Park has plenty of wildlife, including water animals." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana

"Munda River Lodge right on the river"
The restaurant and bar are sited really well also overlooking the river.
The food was good and the service if anything a little too quick which shortened the evening." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia
"Nunda River Lodge review"
Drove to Mahango National park which is very close and was most enjoyable and did a sunset cruise to Popa Falls with an excellent guide and great views of the wildlife and birds. The cruise took an unexpected turn halfway through as our guide did a mid river rescue of some Germans whose boat was stuck on the rocks as the engine had failed. Much more exciting than we ever could have imagined !
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and could have stayed longer." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe
"Lovely river position."
We did a river trip but the guide was not very good so we didn't repeat it. It was delightful to sit on our balconies watching the birds, hippos and otters playing in the river. The grounds were full of interesting birds, even a paradise flycatcher and his mate were there to greet us!
Lunches were a bit boring but the dinners were lovely." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
