Words from Our Guests
EXCELLENT Based on 66 reviews Posted on OlivierVerified An amazing lodge. Excellent food/service/location This lodge is one of a kind as owners make you feel very welcome. The food and service were excellent and location is perfect. We specifically loved the bar/restaurant area (accessible throughout the day to campers/guests) built around a huge tree that provides shade: very beautiful! We also did the Zambezi sunset cruise activity and would highly recommend it: many things to see in and out of the river. Thanks again for everything!Posted on Jacques RoodVerified Sunset canoe and great food Lovely stay. Wonderful canoe on sunset and jellyfish in cold water, first to see. Red wine glass, Chicken with vegatables and potatoes with wood burning fire in windless night created perfect ambience. Friendly staff added to great stay.Posted on sailing17Verified Bucolique Accueil chaleureux et attentionné. Le site est magnifique au bord de l'eau avec des couchées de soleil exceptionnels (!!!) Les tentes et chalets sont entourées de petits singes dont il faut se méfier car très chapardeurs, mais très plaisants à voir vivre. Petit dej parfait. EXCELLENT rapport qualité/prix Salon et salle à manger sur une terrasse au bord de l'eau très plaisants à vivre. Tente de luxe, grande et très propre. Très bien entretenue. Facile d’accès par la route goudronnée Par contre, peu de WiFi dans les structures communes et pas de WiFi dans les chambres. Froid les nuits d'hiver...Posted on Crawford8Verified Heavenly paradise in remote bushland We really were not expecting such luxury, it was really a very nice surprise. Our hosts were chatty and charming. The accomodation was perfect. Just simple and clean, fully functional. Beds, plumbing everything. Mischievous monkeys on site , so be careful.Posted on meyervdbergVerified A little piece of paradise Excellent place. The owners and staff were very friendly, especially Zayne and Fidelis. Great service. We stayed in the Luxury Tents for five days and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Nice relaxing atmosphere and some activities like canoeing, swimming and fishing.Posted on DanielleVerified Lovely stay - plenty of shade, peace & quiet. I spent 2 nights here in one of the chalets as self-catering guest. Very clean, everything you need, including aircondition for the hot temperatures. Beautiful gardens, abundant birdlife. Never got to the canoeing but will stay here again for sure.Posted on Johannes A. BVerified Break from daily work Our stay at Caprivi Mutoya lodge were magnificent. We arrived on the 22nd Oct 2021. We felt that we are at home away from home. The host Nonna was an amazing hostess. We were treated as if we were old friends. Her hospitality was amazing. She immediately arranged my Zambezi river fishing and sundowner cruise. I managed two barbels, the tiger fish still missing from my bucket list. The food,drinks and hospitality and rooms were of high standard, Thanks Nonna for your personal touch to our amazing stay. Johan and Mariette BooysenPosted on Petra KeinhorstVerified Lovely Campsite - wonderful stay We spent three nights at Caprivi Mutoya enjoying the lush green site under bog shady trees. We did two sunset paddling tours with the Canon. Wonderful! They are free for guests. You can but fresh fish at the village nearby There are nice bungalows which guarantee more comfort. The owners are very friendly and we had a warm welcome! Come and see!Posted on David HVerified On the banks of the Zambezi We spent 2 nights in a cottage on the bank of the Zambezi at the Caprivi Mutoya. The staff and facilities were great and this made our time there birding very pleasant. We did a late afternoon boat trip through the back channels and the river proper seeing lots of interesting birds and scenery. The patio where meals are served is under a huge Jackalberry tree. A spectacular setting for watching sunrise or sunset while sipping a cool drink.Posted on LenjaneVerified Brilliant 2nd stay here Prime purpose of visit was to fish for Tiger and spend time on the Zambezi. It didn’t disappoint, caught a 3.5 kg fish. Fidelis, our guide again was great. Such a nice man and very experienced. The location is lovely on a lake. Chalets well equipped and very clean. Good clean pool, lovely setting and well maintained environment.
