“Excellent choice - can't wait to get back there again.”
Once you get over the fact that this is a rustic establishment, it grows on you like hairs. Set in a lovely wooded area overlooking the Zambezi River, this idyllic piece of paradise is wonderful. Accommodation is very rustic with no frills, with a tent set up to an adjoining bathroom area. No fridge, aircon, fan or coffee station is provided but our portable fridge saved us. Breakfasts and dinners were very good served by pleasant staff. We went on a birding boat cruise with Conner which we enjoyed and the next day did birding by car with Christiana along the Chobe River which was excellent. For birders this is the place to be.

“Definitely want to go back for longer!”
Enjoyed the, in the bush, on the river feeling. Room opening onto the river and open shower suited the general feeling and made it the expected experience.

Beautiful location at the Zambezi. If you are a birder, this is the place to be! Curt is a really nice host and will make sure that you know where to find your target birds. Many thanks, Daniel

“Place has no house boat but only a sort of camping boat.”
Bathroom is below standard, bungalow requires major maintenance. Dinner was fine, breakfast was also ok. Host showed little interest in us and admin records were not up to date. Will certainly not visit again.
