Great experience - cozy rooms, good spa treatments, and interesting wine list. Breakfast could be improved.

Wij stayed here near the end of our road trip through Southern Africa. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, when you enter you are greeted by the beautiful baobab tree. Staff are friendly, but in arrival there was quite a bit of confusion about the times of the pre booked activities. But eventually that was all sorted out. The location is stunning on the banks of the Chobe river and very close to the National park for safaris. The wifi is good and works through the whole resort. Room is beautiful with a big bed, great bath and shower in the bathroom and great views over the river. The boat trip that the hotel offers is also beautiful and well worth it. When you are here you truly get a taste of Africa. The food in the restaurant is very good too. We had the breakfast and dinner buffets. Compared to other hotels this one is quite a bit more expensive. But that doesn’t surprise me because of the quality of the hotel. I can definitely recommend staying here!

Location location location! This resort is close to town and Chobe National Park. The views from our room/patio directly on the river with spectacular sunsets, they were simply amazing and the staff were so helpful and pleasant. The guides for the river cruise and safari were the absolute best. We were only there for 3 days but could have stayed much longer. I highly recommend this resort. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom was very spacious.

If you’re looking for a quality African safari experience this is NOT the place. You are totally treated like a number here…with so many people it’s impossible to be treated like an individual. There is zero personal service. No initial explanation in the resort/facilities/where to dine/how to book activities. Our room wasn’t available when we arrived, nor was it available 1hr later at 2.30pm. As we were expected to join a river cruise at 2.45, we left our bags with them & did our cruise. Came back at 6pm and along with many others, hit reception for our key. No key…it’s a card and many of the entire establishment room door automation locks have failed. One hotel staff member is escorting people to their rooms using one master key! Finally fixed 24hrs later. The room is spacious, good bed & pillows. Bathroom tiling is gross…very old & stained grout. Cleaning standard is average …big clump of hair in the shower drain 🤮 Now…the river cruise… Soft drink, wine, beer, water & snacks provided. No tea & coffee. Snacks were average….dried out mimosas’ & some sort of sausage bites. I was happy to see some salad available but there was no cutlery so you’d have to eat it with your fingers! Boat skipper pointed out the various animals & birds we came across just by name. There was no information on anything, just their name. If you can manage it try Kambuka River Sands Resort in Sth Africa…6 star compared to this.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Staff were generally friendly. We were on a DB&B basis. The food was not good! Mass produced to serve the group tours, not a hotel (when we were there) for couples. It’s some of the worse food we’ve had for a very long time. If you’re looking for a big hotel with ok rooms and amazing views over the river then it’s for you.

Had the buffet lunch here as part of a Chobe Safari tour with Exoticca Travel. The food was absolutely delicious. My only issue was the waiter, George. We were with another group, and when the drink bills came, no matter how may pula it came out to be, he told us each $10 US dollars. When we figured out the currency conversion, each of us owed only $5. We felt he was trying to fleece us.

Our tour stopped at the resort for lunch. It was a nice lunch. At the end when we paid for drinks the waiter brought a bill for 72 BEP. I asked if he took US dollars and he said yes it is $10. I gave him a $20 and as he was helping another couple at the table I did a quick calculation and found it to be only $5.22. I asked for the 20 back and said I would pay by card. He said too late, went through the cash he had in his hand and gave me a $10 back. Beware George he is dishonest!!!
