We, a group of 12 people and 6 vehicles some with 4x4 camping trailers overnight at this very great Lodge and campsite. There we water tapes and working power points to power our fridges. The ablution a bit of a walk from our camp was always clean and there were hot water for showers, enough as an Overland group also shared the facilities. At nightfall it was very quite no barking dogs! We really enjoyed our stay. In the past our tour guide did use the restaurant facilities (which was great) but not this time as the group gathered around their campfire for dinner. A pity that the river in-front of the lodge had no water (seasonal) otherwise we would have booked a boat trip. Can recommend this lodge.

Perfectly comfortable accommodation a little way out of town. Would have been good to have more time to explore. Not changed all that much from many years ago. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food fresh and tasty. Would be happy to stay again.

Review We’ve been here twice, and the lodge is marvelous. It is surrounded by beautiful nature and wildlife, with really nice chalets and family rooms. The price is absolutely reasonable. However, the experience depends on the staff working during your stay. During our first visit, we had an amazing team, including one staff member named Wuame, who was very attentive and cared for all the customers, as did the others on his shift. Unfortunately, during our second visit, we were not as happy with the staff. The waitresses seemed more interested in chatting in the kitchen and checking their phones. They even ran out of butter for breakfast, and there wasn’t enough salt available. The pappa was already hard, and the steak was burned on the outside. We definitely recommend this lodge because it is beautiful, but we also encourage the owners to pay closer attention to the performance of their staff. There were significant differences between the shifts, and the service quality needs improvement.

Easy booking. Friendly & very helpful receptionist. Friendly and helpful staff at the restaurant & bar. Clean & comfortable accommodation. Good dinner and excellent breakfast. For sure the best value for money, overnight stay in Maun.

Clean, friendly staff, but no atmosphere
The place is clean, the staff are nice and helpful, but there isn’t much of an atmosphere. One of the two swimming pools looked completely abandoned and dirty. Unless you have activities during the day, there isn’t much to do at the hotel. The food is average too.

We verbleven hier drie nachten. Het was er niet druk. Er liep heel veel staff rond, zonder weinig resultaat. De mevrouw aan de receptie had meer aandacht voor de telefoon dan voor ons, toen we op dag twee schone handdoeken kwamen halen (de andere waren door de schoonmaak meegenomen). Uiteindelijk, na 3x vragen, kwamen de handdoeken (ook nodig bij het zwembad!) na twee uur. De huisjes zijn weliswaar oud, maar alles functioneerde bij ons (bij het andere stel niet: de koudwater kraan deed het niet, dus alleen heet douchen...). Klamboe rond het bed, prima airco. De tuin is door de droogte verwoest, en er was ook geen rivier meer te zien.... Dus geen bootexcursies. Bij een dagtrip naar Moreni moet je nu rekenen op 3,5 uur heen en idem terug over bar slechte wegen (ter vegelijking: 10 jaar geleden was er nog wat gravel en duurde het 1,5 uur). Moreni zelf is grotendeels verwoest door olifanten. Maun als uitgangspunt of tussenstop is geen goede keuze meer. Het restaurant had een ruime kaart, maar een aantal gerechten was niet verkrijgbaar (net als 10 jaar geleden...). Vanwege het kleine aantal toeristen en de weinig enthousiaste staff (volop aanwezig, rondhangend) hebben we 2x in verschillende gezellige restaurants in Maun gegeten. Het ontbijt was goed genoeg.

Front desk and bar/restaurant staff was lethargic and unenergized or motivated for two nights in a row. When we arrived, we were missing basic items such as pillowcases on our pillows. We had to request a kettle for morning coffee as it is hard to prepare tea or coffee without hot water. The facilities were run down. For example, our sink leaked on the floor, toilet took multiple flushes, and hot water handle on our shower spun freely and hot water was only attained by pressing in the handle and twisting. Overall, the facilities need some very minor rehabilitation. Property was nice and location nice and felt safe...but it needs some love and staff improvements.
