"Zebra River Lodge review"
We did the Canyon walk which afforded fantastic views of the area, and can be completed by any moderately fit person in around 5 hours. Great home cooked food shared with the other guests in the lodge. Staff knowledgeable and friendly." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Zebra River Lodge - very friendly"
We enjoyed the food, particularly the family atmosphere sitting around dining tables, the setting and the walk up to the Quiver tree.
The lodge is a little bit off the beaten track (if there is such a thing in Namibia), but it was a very nice place to spend our first 2 nights in Namibia." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Wonderful first stop, superb cooking"
We had a smashing welcome and it was lovely to all sit around the dinner table sharing experiences with fellow travellers. Rob and Marianne both have plenty of knowledge about the area. Rob particularly went to a great deal of trouble to explain an onward route for us and this resulted in another highlight of our holiday. Rob is hoping to gain a commercial pilots licence soon so with an air strip there will be an extra dimension to this location.
Unfortunately at the time of our visit they were struggling to combat a domouse infestation in a couple of the rooms which whilst understandable in this sort of area did result in a fairly disturbed sleep.
The Canyon and quiver tree walk is well worth the effort but allow a little more time if you find the heat tiring, packed lunch superb." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Zebra River Lodge review"
We seemed to have a more baisc room than others and were offered a change the second day but didn't take it as we were just about to go on a walk.
Lots of opportunities for walks with good maps and explanations. An ideal end to a busy holiday." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 5n in Namibia
