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.
Rustic as it is, leave it that way. Maybe a little fridge would be nice.

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.
Nothing - everything was in accordance with our expectations - the accommodation, bar and braai area right down to the river cruise was really special.

Fantastic staff in the whole site, great attitude and very welcoming to join a wonderful braai that same evening that was certainly unexpected.
Absolutely nothing, it was all great.

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

Great location with wonderful service and clean comfortable rooms.
The thick bush in front of the rooms could be trimmed a little to open up that spectacular view.

birds and sounds of nature
upon arrival after a 10.5 hour drive and tired we wanted to know if the restaurant will be able to provide us with a light dinner (it was just after 18h00) only to be informed with a blatant no due to the chef that left already and that we must drive to town if we wanted anything. We booked for 3 adults (1 room) however the room only had 1 double bed and a small old dirty mattress (looked like a bed made for a dog) on the floor in front of the double bed. Very small...Lots of bugs and lizzards. No view due to 2 thick pieces of canvas sheets that covered the area that was suppose to be the windows. We were very shocked and not looking like the pictures on Booking.com at all. Lots of focus on certain areas of the garden however Lots of deserted areas. Not recommended at all...the photos on Booking.com not the same at all!
