Great riverside lodge

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable with views over the river and peaceful sleep. The hospitality was welcoming and the food was great. Lots of birds in the garden!

most amazing stay in our whole trip in Namibia! <3

Definitely the highlight stay of our 3 week trip! Amazing, caring and friendly staff, who's always there right on point. They even cooked a veggie meal every night for me - thank you so much! The food was 5 stars all the way through. So good! Our Chalet was incredible! We stayed right at the Okavango River - such fantastic views on the patio! The room itself was very clean, spacious and comfortable. We booked and enjoyed a Sundowner River Boat Tour with Shametu to see lots of Hippos! Also we booked a morning Game drive with our amazing guide Mr Ken, who found us some Lions at Buffalo Core Area! The location is perfect to explore Mahango and Buffalo Core Area. We stayed for 3 nights, but could've stayed for a month! :D
We'll be back! <3

Good day
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It always warms our hearts to hear that our guests had such a lovely time with us. Namibia is a wonderful country and if we could be part of your memories that is just fantastic. We will definitely tell Ken you enjoyed the Game Drive with him. We hope to see you again soon!

Shametu River Lodge Review

The Shametu River Lodge is a beautiful lodge on the banks of the Kavango river in Namibia. The accommodation as well as the meals and staff services were excellent. The lodge was vary good value for money as it was not that expensive in comparison with other lodges in the Okavango delta. It is an ideal place to stay for a few days to explore the region.
