Shametu River Lodge

A great bush experience with great guides (esp. Dusty) and staff overall. Very diverse viewings: in the bush and on the water.

What a lodge with great river view rooms. it was a wonderful place to stay looking out over the river. Sundowners on the river plus my first Tiger fish caught and returned. The staff were so kind and helpful suggesting things to do and see.We went on one guided game drive with great success and another shorter one that we went ourselves. Both let us see a lot of game and gave us time to take lots of photos.

Great location looking on to the river. Plenty of bird life. Rooms large and comfortable. The bed was mammoth! No evidence of mosquitoes!!

Roundtrip Namibia with many game drives, boat tours and different types of lodges. We had a lot of new experiences

The location of the Lodge is good and near e.g. Mahango Core Area of the Bwabwata NP. The rooms are good as well, but some better cleaning would be nice. The setup of the seating areas of the Lodge is not the best (lunch at the pool, cake at the reception lounge, dinner in the Restaurant etc) - loads of walking and navigation for guests and staff. The dinner was good, the breakfast a disaster, as nothing was refilled after the tour groups left... we had to beg for cheese, bread etc. That is not acceptable, and staff seemed to be non-interested during breakfast.

Shametu Lodge exceeded every expectation. The attention to detail across the entire property and experience was flawless. The game drive was unforgettable, the tiger fishing was both thrilling and peaceful, and the fire on the island at sunset was pure magic. To top it off, the food was outstanding, every meal delicious and beautifully presented. A perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and hospitality. Truly one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had!
