Locally known
as "River Lodge" we offer a relaxed and comfortable
home-away-from-home and are the Safari base for some of the
best Okavango Delta tours available. They range from Mokoro
[dug-out canoe] trips to all-inclusive budged mobile camping
safaris, day trips (by boat or land cruiser) into the delta,
sunset cruises on the Thamalakane river (when in flood) and
fishing safaris.
We also offer
camping trips by boat from the far north of Botswana's
Okavango River through the myriads of papyrus-lined cannels
into the heart of the Delta.
No matter if
you came back from a Safari into the Delta or had a relaxing
day sun-bathing, you'll enjoy our open and spacious bar area
for a nice evening experience. Share your day with other
guests or the many Maun residents that drop in for a
sun-downer on their way home.
"By chance we happened upon a telephone number for
the "Okavango River Lodge" in one of our guidebooks.
Yes, they had space and could accommodate us in their
rondavels (we needed a clean bed and hot water to get rid of
the dust). The Lodge is situated on the outskirts of Maun,
en-route to Moremi".
"What a pleasant surprise! On arrival, we checked into
our en-suite rondavels (comfortable and reasonably priced) set
amongst huge trees, full of birds. We then went for a drink at
the bar (overlooking the River, dry at that stage but
expecting the flood waters at any minute). A swim in the
ice-cold pool is a welcome relief in the heat of the Botswana
summer (backed up by the 'in pool' bar service!). The rest of
the afternoon was spent lazing around the pool. At sunset the
Maun locals began arriving for sundowners and a very
entertaining evening (that turned into early morning!) was
spent swapping stories".
