Tijdens onze rondreis door zuidelijk Afrika verbleven we in juni bij de Caprivi Safari Houseboat Lodge – en dat was zonder twijfel één van de meest ontspannen momenten van onze reis. Onze eerste indruk was meteen raak: één woord – geweldig. De lodge straalt rust uit, met een prachtig uitzicht over de rivier de Zambezi. We werden hartelijk ontvangen, en het personeel hielp ons vriendelijk naar ons verblijf, dat direct aan het water lag. De accommodatie was schoon, sfeervol en ademde ontspanning. De hele setting voelde als thuiskomen, mede dankzij het vriendelijke, beleefde en uiterst behulpzame personeel. Je werd echt als huisgast behandeld, en dat is zeldzaam. Tijdens ons verblijf kozen we voor een boottocht over de Zambezi bij zonsondergang. Hoewel de kans op het spotten van krokodillen of nijlpaarden klein was vanwege het hoge waterpeil (en we ze dus ook niet zagen), genoten we van de rust en de vogels die aan de rand van de rivier leefden. Alles werd vooraf duidelijk en eerlijk gecommuniceerd, wat we erg waardeerden. De locatie is ideaal voor reizigers die tijdens een actieve reis even willen pauzeren. Het is de perfecte plek om op adem te komen, midden in de natuur, zonder het gevoel te hebben dat je iets “moet” doen.

Rustic accommodation on the banks of the Zambezi river combined with good cuisine and informed bird guides.... all managed by the competent Christiane!

We did a trip through Kgalagadi, Botswana to Caprivi. Fantastic accommodation and service everywhere. All bookings were paid in advance and nowhere did the accommodation differ from what we expected. What a shock when we arrived at Caprivi houseboat Safari Lodge! There's no houseboat. It's better described as tented accommodation. The only protection inside is a mosquito net above bed that has seen better days. The rest of tent and the open bathroom has wide gaps for swarms of mosquitoes and that in a malaria area! Beds are old and everything looks dilapidated. The fishing boat that we were told we had to pay in advance, had no roof, looks old and one can only hope its safe. The restaurant has no a la carte menu. The only option was a tasteless lasagne which was burnt at the bottom. After voicing our complaints we were told no money will be refunded. Our only option was to loose all our money, walk away and find liveable accommodation elsewhere in Katima. Moral of the story - be very careful when proprietor insists on advance payments. Much nicer and better priced accommodation elsewhere in Katima.

Exactly what we expected! The accommodation, food and river cruise were exceedingly above our expectation!

We stayed 2 nights. The meals are delicious. Breakfast is fine too. Nice place to relax and load the battery for Botswana. Perfect spot for fishing if you want to. We certainly come again when we are around. Nice staff and host.

Amazing situation on the Zambezi River, sadly let down by accommodation and food. General feeling of complacency and neglect by management/ owners, lack of attention to detail, dated furniture, grubby bathrooms. Chalets need a big overhaul … a repaint for a start , gaping holes in wooden flooring allowing anything in, mosquito nets were useless. Canvas window are ugly and a waste of time. Management wonder why they are not busy anymore? The stairway to the boat is really dangerous due to lack of railings, and staff were not there to assist to busy on their phones before evening boat ride.

As per the title, this is a review of a 2 night camping boat safari, NOT the guest house. It started and ended in Kasane (Botswana) and required us to cross into Namibia for the duration of the cruise on the Chobe river. The boat was small and basic but surprisingly well equipped - fridge, toilet, charger points, seating, table, sink & shower (though we didn't use the latter) and a roof top tent. It was also equipped with Ivan who steered the boat, spotted animals & birds from afar and cooked all our meals expertly on a fire on the (Namibian) bank where we camped both nights. He was excellent and looked after us very well. We saw crocodiles (at very close quarters!) and hippos aplenty - both much better seen from the river. Also lots of ellies crossing or coming down to drink, buffalos, baboons, a lioness, etc etc This is very different from the 3 storey houseboats and the small boat allows much more intimate animal encounters. It was also a lot cheaper, though still quite a lot of money (but I understand the logistics and fuel costs in coming all the way from Katima before/after our cruise). The catering was much better than we had expected (huge steaks, cooked breakfast, salads for lunch). All in all a great experience to complement self-drives in Chobe Riverfront.

Excellent stay with very friendly and helpful staff. Setting is perfect. Good, honest food, nothing fancy, but tasty and enjoyable. Boat guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to point out birds endemic to the area. We were also impressed with Curt's concern for the environment and the rehabilitation of snakes that he undertakes.
