The stay was excellent, however there were few things that could have made our stay even enjoyable. Improve on the wifi access, provide tv set in the room, provide an iron for your gusts so that they look good on holiday, provide a microwave to warm food as sometimes we have left overs from lunch or dinner.

We had a glorious visit at this jewel located on the banks of the Kavango opposite Popa Falls. As a returning guest, I briught friends from the Netherlands to experience this pure African splendour. The Buffalo gamedrive, a custom made lunch cruise on the Kavango, a visit to the Popa Falls, rejuvinated river rooms and the phenominal dinners make this place a must on any itinerary to this area.

Shametu River Lodge is an amazing place, beautiful view and next to Popa Falls with the rapids roaring sound! We enjoyed our 4 days very much. The staff and service was excellent - from breakfast to dinner at night the food was great! We will be back!

We enjoyed the 3 day very much. The cruze on the river was great and the Lodge lies between Mahango and Buffalo Parc is excellent for visiting them.

Wifi didn’t work properly. Food was average. The hippopotames tours was amazing. Overall, we would come again. We enjoy our stay there.

Eine wunderschöne Lodge direkt am Wasser. Die Morgen-Bootsfahrt war fantastisch, wir haben viele Nilpferde, Krokodile u nd Vögel gesehen! Ebenfalls hatten wir den Village Walk gebucht, abgeholt wurden wir mit der Eselkutsche, zu 7 sollten wir von den armen Esel gezogen werden? Idee ist zwar nett, aber bitte lasst die Esel zukünftig weg - es ist ja nicht weit zum Laufen, kann man für Leute anbieten die nicht mehr gut zu Fuss sind, aber sonst nicht. Grauenhaft fanden wir der Abfall der überall herum liegt auf die Frage warum sagte man uns: Das sind die Kinder die den Abfall herbringen die spielen damit. So was lächerliches habe ich selten gehört aber vielleicht glaubt es ja jemand. Es wurde uns dann gezeigt wie man Essen zubreitet aus Samen und Nüssen usw. und durften auch davon probieren. Das war ganz ok. Der Campsite den wir hatten war grosszügig und die Sanitär-Anlagen/Küche top. Da alles eingemauert ist herum fühlt man sich aber irgendwie eingesperrt und nicht wie in Namibia in der Wildnis. Falls ich wiedermal in der Gegend bin würde ich eher ein Zimmer nehmen als zu campen. Wir haben uns eine Massage gegönnt, die war nach so vielen Nächten im Dachzelt eine Wohltat und können wir weiterempfehlen.

Grosse Lodge, direkt am Kavango River. Tolle Aussicht. Tolle Nachmittags-/Sonnenutergangsfahrt auf dem River. Der Campingplatz ist unglaublich gross, 3 Grillstellen, 3 eigen WC/Duschen (für einen Campingplatz). Er ist in der Nähe der Gärtnerei, fussläufig zu Lodge gelegen. Vom Campingplatz keine Aussicht auf den Fluss. Spielt jedoch keine Rolle, das die Infrastruktur der Lodge genutzt werden kann. Alles sehr grosszügig und sauber. Wir assen das Abendessen in der Lodge. Das war sehr enttäuschend. 1. sehr eng, vile Gäste, sehr eng. Inkompetente Bedienung. Wir hatetn bei der Buchung wegen den Essensmöglichkeiten bei Zölliakee (Gluten-Intoleranz angefragt. Bei der Bestätigung und dann beim Einchecken nochmals. Das alles sei kein Problem, die Küche sei informiert und alles wirklich kein Problem. Dann am Abend: Niemand hatte die geringste Ahnung, was Gluten-Intoleranz überhaupt ist - geschweige denn, was man essen könnte. Nch sehr mühsamer Abklärungen war das einzige auf deer ganzen Menükarte ien Chicken-Schnitzel nature. grundsätzlich wäre dies kein Problem. Jedoch warum bestätigen Sie insgesamt 4x, dass Glutenfreies Essen nicht das geringste Problem sei? Und dann gibts gar nichts? Warum bereiten Sie die Kücke und das Serviceperonal nicht darauf vor? Warum kommunizieren Sie nicht. Also: Tolle Lodge sehr grosszügiger und sauberer Campingplatz, tolle Bootstour. Inkomperente Mitarbeitende ohne jede Kundenorientierung, massen Abfertigung beim Nachtessen.
