The garden surrounds and leafy setting around the accommodation were lovely. The soft furnishings in the restaurant areas were tired and a bit grubby. Dinner and breakfast was uninspiring with ordinary presentation. We found a restaurant in town that served much better food. We stayed in a glamping tent, which was fine. Suggest that the tents need a mirror in the bathroom and a bedside table. Towel racks or hooks in the bathroom would have enabled towels to dry. Staff were attentive and friendly.

Want Tranquility, smartness and utmost hospitality, think Kwalape. It took two days to fix the drain from the shower in room 8, though.

Stay away guys! I got terrible bed bugs in two of their tents. The first time it happened to me in Africa. The management didn’t care and didn’t offer any compensation.

Great swimming pool and nice restaurant. Lots of bird and gardens. The staff was friendly and helpful. They hooked me up with the tours. It was great except I did get lots of mosquito bites. Next time I’ll use more repellent. You can Easily take a shared taxi for 5 pula.

The stay was good, the service and cleanliness not to talk about the food. I enjoyed every minute looking forward to visiting Chobe again.

Die Anlage ist eigentlich sehr schön , auch der sehr groß und sauber. Zu den Bungalows kann ich nicht cat viel sagen, da diese ausgebucht waren und wir uns mit einem Zelt begnügen mussten . Wir hatten zumindest das „Glück“ eines mit eigenem „Bad“ zu bekommen, aber das kann man sich auch ersparen , da man ins „Bad“ nur sehr umständlich kommt, das heißt , an der Rückwand des Zeltes erst zwei Reißverschlüsse öffnen, die eigentlich auch hätten offen bleiben können, da sie kaputt waren und die Moskitos sowieso freien Zugang hatten. 2 Betten und ein Ventilator im Zelt , das war’s dann auch😕. Wir sind nicht sehr anspruchsvoll und hatten auf unserer Rundreise durch Namibia und Botswana mehrere Zeltunterkünfte, die alle top waren und absolut nicht mit diesem Zelt hier vergleichbar sind. Das Frühstück ist völlig überteuert und eine Alternative sich den Kaffee selbst zu kochen, gibt es nicht. Die Ausflüge , die angeboten werden, sind aber sehr empfehlenswert und waren wirklich alle sehr, sehr schön 👍 . GANZ besonderen Dank an Noah 😍 der uns zu den Victoria falls fuhr und so viel Geduld mit uns hatte...er hat uns einen unvergesslichen Tag beschert... ganz großes Lob an ihn .

Very nice location, with big beautiful gardens with lots of lakes and birds. The bar and the pool area are very nice and we spent a great time swimming and chilling out. Restaurant offers a big menu and everything we tried was tasty and reasonable priced. We slept in a fornitured tent that was spacious but too hot, even with a fan on. The shared toilets and showers were always a bit dirty and they were definitely too old. We had a bit of trouble at the check-in. They put us in a tent that was already occupied. Also they told us that the accommodation was not paid yet but it was (by Hotels.com). Apart from that everything was nice and the staff was polite.

スタッフの方々はいつも笑顔で親切にしてくれました。ボート、ゲームサファリが市内よりは値は張りますがそれでもとても安く内容も大満足でした！テント泊にしましたが、ファンもライトもしっかりとあり、広々でよかったです。ただ古いためかチャックがスムーズに閉まらなかったのがちょっとマイナス。

Nice place few kilometers (5-6 km) to Nata. You need to take a taxi to go there. Shady, quiet. We stayed in a safari tent. The bedding is not very confortable and no plug inside.

We stayed in one of the safari tents and it was much more comfortable than we expected. The staff went above and beyond to help accommodate us. They found us a free tent at 6am when we arrived, helped us arrange bus tickets and were knowledgeable about any questions we had. The pool was cold but that’s what happens in winter. There were many places to relax around. It was a wonderful experience.
