Certamente vou voltar um dia, se Deus me permitir.
Localização e instalações excelentes. Receção muito simpática pelo proprietário, o Kurth. Igualmente muito simpático e afável o Raymond, que foi o nosso guia no Sunset de barco, feito no esplendoroso rio Zambeze. Inesquecível!!!!

BETRUG
Vorsicht Betrüger!!! Verspricht großes Zelt für 108 €. Bietet dann Militärzelt mit offenem Außenbad. Erklärt dann, man hätte doch genau das gebucht. Eine Frechheit ohnegleichen. Wir, ein älteres 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 übernachtet.

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 !

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.

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 Mücken u.ä. 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 unterstützt hat. Gutes Frühstück, passables WLAN. Erwähnenswert auch ein recht fideler Hauspapagei, der mit urigen Geräuschen für gute Laune gesorgt hat.

Sehr gute Lodge direkt am Sambesi
Der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Der ganze Aufenthalt war familiär. Die Lodge gehört einer deutschen Familie, die sich ganz persönlich um das Wohl der Gäste kümmert. Auch die angebotenen Bootsfahrten waren sehr schön. Die Guides bieten einen hohen Standard an. Interessant dürften für manche Gäste 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 nächste Mal mit Hausboot zum Chobe ist bei uns vorgesehen.

Geweldige locatie aan de rivier
Spontane ontvangst en om dat het niet druk was kregen we een upgrade naar een open tent met geweldig uitzicht over de rivier. Je kijkt vanuit je bed zo over het water een aanrader voor iedereen.

Vi sov där två nätter och åt utsökt frukost och middag med en fantastisk utsikt över floden. Vi rekommenderar. Mycket för pengarna.
