Thamalakane River Lodge served as a pleasant and convenient stopover before our return flight. We truly appreciated the comfort of the room, but what stood out the most was the genuine kindness and helpfulness of the entire staff. One aspect to keep in mind is that the rondavels have an upper portion of the facade that is partially open, which means the room can get quite chilly during the colder winter months, especially at night and early in the morning.

The lodge itself is nice enough, beds are comfortable and clean. Bathroom is large but somehow lacks in privacy. The location is very pleasant. Apparently during dryer seasons, there are lots of visits from larger animals (regretfully, not during our stay). The largest animals were resident squirrels. There is a very nice pool where we have spent apleasurable afternoon hour. The biggest drawback of the place is the restaurant. Not only food is sometimes very mediocre, but the service is extremely slow: we had to wait for our wraps for more than hour and finally they mixed up one order. All this when we were only four persons at the lunch.

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 zin hier op de heen en terugweg naar/van Khwai geweest in 2 verschillende bungalows. Enthousiast en vriendelijk personeel. Mooie bungalows met grote badkamer. Uitzicht over rivier. Lekker dinerbuffet en ontbijt. Wel veel muggen maar je zit dan ook naast de rivier. 2 normale zwembaden met ligbedjes langs de rivier. Goed internet. Stroom valt af en toe uit.

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.
