Travelling to the lodge by boat due to the access road being flooded was well organised and added to our experience. The location was beautiful directly on the river with subdued lighting in the evening making the evening sky full of stars magnificent. Friendly staff always smiling made us feel welcome the minute we arrived at Hakusembe. Take a sundowner boat trip as the colour of the sunset was gorgeous. A beautiful relaxing place for 2 days is highly recommended.

A beautiful lodge!

We were blown away by the care shown by staff at this River Lodge. The food was incredible, and the room was beautifully decorated for our honeymoon and they even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine. The pool area is lovely and the lodge sits right on the river. We both agree that this is the best accommodation we've stayed at in Africa so far! We highly recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting to stay in Rundu!

A great welcome around a lunch, a beer with great compagny!

The staff was incredibly kind and the chalet nearby the river was super nice. The sunset cruise was also nice and the welcome-back with the songs amazing and the staff singing all together showed the great atmosphere at the location. Dinner and breakfast were good and sufficient for starting a new day!

Loved the river setting - across from Angola.

Location on the river and superb boat cruises. The staff were from this location and had great knowledge about the area.

Beautiful thatched cottages with the verandah overlooking the river. Delighted to wake up and find a thermos of hot coffee on the veranda, ready to watch the sunrise. Beautiful little garden of Eden with fantastic staff and very good buffet supper.

Wonderful

Breakfast was good, chef and Kennedy friendly as can be expected from Namibians in general. Room spacious and very clean with ample towels. Great view of the river and the coffee on the stoep next morning was wonderful.
