“Perfect riverside lodge for Popa Falls and Bwabwata park visits”
+Good quality lodge next to Popa Falls and great value for money considering the facilities provided Room was riverside with own terrace and direct access (if brave enough) Lots of space inside, room to place and unpack cases, separate dressing table with power sockets/mirror, good sized bathroom, comfortable beds and extra seating Nice pool area and decking on the river plus other seating areas to escape the heat if needed Nice bar, and restaurant was table service with a choice of courses and friendly staff who coped very well with a couple of large tour groups. On-site parking was available and the lodge was very handy for the Bwabwata nation park areas nearby (Mohembo and Buffalo that needs a 4x4 vehicle) Nearby Divundu was much but good to fill up with fuel before heading further into the strip
−Parking was a little congested and as the lodge is set on a hillsdie it's hard working pulling your case back up again! Minor quibbles however!

“Not”
+Only location.
−Very expensive in price if you compare what you get in return like very small space rooms, low quality wifi, our food request was also ignored. Not value for money.

+Top Unterkunft. Essen sehr gut. Personal sehr freundlich. Wir hatten ein Zeltzimmer direkt am Fluss. Man kann im nahegelegenen Bwabwata National Park Mahango selber ein Game Drive fahren. Wir haben Elefantenherden mit über 100 Tieren gesehen.

“Empfehlenswert als Start in die Sambesi Region, ideal für 1-2 Tage mit sehr gutem Essen. Sehr freundlicher Manager”
+Der Sunset Boat Trip zu den Hippos und den Popa Falls! Nochmal besten Dank an den Manager, der unser defektes Akku zur Entsorgung entgegen genommen hat. Sehr leckeres Abendessen mit Kudu!
−Staff an der Rezeption könnte etwas zugewandter beim Empfang sein, aber dass ist in vielen Lodges so.
