The kindness of the manager Paula who went out of her way to provide comfort at a distressing time. The staff could not have been more attentive. Chiquitita provided excellent full body massages - very relaxing and relieved a lot of tension from long hours of driving.

We loved this place. Beautiful location, right in the national park. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds with many different seating options where you can watch the waterfalls and surroundings. The bungalows are clean and nice with a private terrace with views across the river and waterfalls. Staff is very helpful and kind. The sunset cruise offered was really good, we saw lots of wildlife.

“Fantastic location, fabulous stay!”
A fantastic stay in the most beautiful location. Absolutely stunning location and property. A must see. Words cannot describe this total surprise. Accommodation was clean and beautiful with a view over the river. So nice to have dinner on the deck, almost on the river. I loved everything!

The staff were so nice and helpful, well trained. Meals were excellently prepared, much thought has gone into making sure the food is a real treat here. The setting by the rushing Popa falls was so nice, the sound of rushing water like a white noise to soothe one to sleep. A little deer like creature appeared before our cabin in the morning, so beautiful.

I chose to reserve accommodation at White Sands Lodge because I needed a suitable stopover on my journey from Kasane to Windhoek. Other options in the vicinity of Popa Falls were available, but White Sands seemed most conveniently accessible from the main road (B8). On arrival, I quickly realised that convenient access was not the only reason to choose this option. The lodge provides very comfortable chalet accommodation with excellent facilities. These include the option to self-cater but we chose to have dinner at the restaurant overlooking the most attractive site of the cascade. The food was excellent, as was the service. Our only regret was that we were not able to stay longer and enjoy the environment and swimming pool.

“Nice place on a beautiful spot.”
This lodge is located at the Popa falls. Great views on the small waterfalls. Every cabin has its own deck with a lot of privacy. The food was excellent with nice wines for a reasonable price. They are taking good care of you.
