“A different perspective of the mighty Zambezi”
Nadja is a fantastic host, balancing sufficient oversight with leaving you to get on with what you want to do. Situated on a side-water to the main Zambezi river, the lodge balances gardens and land living with river adventures. We ended up staying an extra day because we enjoyed it so much. Went tiger fishing (catch and release) and caught 9 tigers, the largest 6kgs in weight - Sam our fishing guide was excellent, very knowledgeable about the local bush, the birdlife and the river itself. Every morning, the white browed robin serenaded us awake, followed by a morning chorus enough to drive any twitcher green with envy. We will be back!

“What a wonderful experience!”
The staff was very friendly, professional and supportive. The guides on the boat trips were well trained and did everything to make the trips and angling unforgettable. Our cottage was very clean and comfortable with the most beautiful view. Dinner at the restaurant is highly recommended, especially the lamb shank and eland pie.

It was all wonderful .. From the moment I booked ... All the communication, the check in with a welcome drink, the little gift and welcome letter on our pillows... All the staff was so friendly and helpful... And our Early morning Bird Cruise was exceptional.. we were only 2 people, but they still did it with the Big Boat and a great guide... We had dinner and it was also very good... And an amazing Pinacolada with the most beautiful African Sunset!! Thank You Kubu and Kwena for an unforgettable experience!!

The birdlife. The boat cruises. This is actually a fishermans mecca and the luxury appartments is suited for fishing trips. Best months to book is May to July when the water levels are higher and its cooler.

“Great location, great staff , a very worthwhile couple of days”
This lodge is located in a great location off the Zambezi river. Water birds and wild life everywhere you can see. Take the option to go early morning tiger fishing even if fishing is not your thing. Being of the water at dawn is spectacular
