Our dinner with a university students group was fantastic - lovely setting, very friendly and engaging staff, and excellent food. But, from past experience, I wasn't surprised. Chef Sarah was a joy to deal with in planning the evening, and our students loved it. Highly recommended!

Arrived at the beautiful lodge to friendly smiles and service. Top class rooms and one of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen. Lunch, dinner and breakfast was perfectly prepared. I'll definitely return and recommend to friends and family.

The individual Babblers were adorable. We were in #1 and close to the lodge and perfect view of the river. We were there only one night but Staff was great and dinner on the patio with a marvalous sunset set the tone for the rest of our adventures... we hung out at the pool and viewed the river and wildlife…

We stayed in a Babbler Chalet with a view of the river. There were cattle across the river and one hippopotamus who wandered in and out of the river. Beautiful birds and frogs sang us to sleep and awake. Nice, comfortable bed. Food was fine. Staff was very friendly and helpful. This was a nice place to stay for visits to Maun and Elephant Havens. Our guide, Happy, made sure we had a great visit with the elephants.

We needed an overnight stay on our first day before heading to the Delta. The lodge was very comfortable with a great dinner buffet and good breakfast. It is a bit further from the airport, but our transport was waiting for us. The rest of the staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though we had a very early departure the next day, they still managed to serve us a full breakfast.

We had a lovely one night stay before our tour began. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable with the Wifi working well. The property is well looked after and was very peaceful. We did enjoy a dinner and breakfast which were very tasty and with large servings. Would recommended!

Very nice camp at the river bank of the -actually dry Thamalakane River. You have own wooden house, social center, restaurant, pool (water is icy cold as the nights are close to 0 °C. Foods are excellent. Breakfast is rich. Dinner could be from menu or buffet, depending on the number of the guests, but in both the cases we found wide variety of foods, in very good quality. If you are on a longer safari, foods and beverages incl. in the package. Mokoro station and Moremi Game Reserve as safari targets are recommended, the staff do manage the reservation with guides. We were very please with Poloso (Moremi Game Reserve) and Philippe (Mokoro boat tour).

Very friendly staff, all of them, no exception! Helpfull and professional attitude at the reception. Lodge is beautiful with a nice bed and little terrace at the front. The restaurant has a taart buffet and a beautiful view on the river(bed); also in the day season. A lot of animal noices during the evening and night and no music or television makes it a real African experience.
