Hakusembe Lodge review
Wonderful sight of people going about their daily lives on the Angolan side of the river.
Very good river trip on offer at the camp. Very good service and food in the evening. We were given a family room, which was large and comfortable.

Hakusembe Lodge review
nice location on the riverside from where you can do an enjoyable cruise. friendly welcome.
needs some updating as rooms were stale and musty.
Great sun downer at Hakusembe Lodge.
Great sun-downer with a good look also of the Angola side of the river.
Hakusembe Lodge review
The rooms here really do need some updating. The furnishings are dark and old fashioned whereas now people like a white and fresh look to places. We spoke to the new co-owner, Andreio of Gondwana, who told us that he has only just taken over and plans are afoot to completely renovate. Edison our guide was great on the evemig boat trip, very knowledgeable on birds and being the only customers we learnt a lot from him. The dining facilities also need freshening up and this is going to happen apparently.

Comfortable lodge with excellent staff and food. The Eland steak that I had here was the best meal of the holiday.
The rooms are set right on the river providing a beautiful location. We only stayed one night here and didn't go on any organised excursions.
We appreciated having a fridge in the room to keep our water and milk cold.
Hakusembe Lodge review
Hakusembe very much has the feel of a place where people stay for one night, which is probably the case. One felt rather processed, and the owners didn't seem terribly interested.
The evening boat trip was an exception, and our boat captain was enthusiastic and knowledgeable regarding the interesting birdlife along the river.
The pool though usable was a haven for wildlife, especially mosquitoes, and perhaps needed a little more attention.
Lovely setting on the banks of the river.

Room was small and needed an uplift. River trip was excellent and setting delightful. Enjoyed an excellent steak.

We all really liked it at Hakusembe, sadly, for others, the manager of many years is about to retire. The rest of the staff were all very pleasant helpful and efficient.
4 of us had cottage rooms, and we had the 'honeymoon suite' and we were all very happy with our accommodation, we were a bit concerned about the chemical toilet in our room, but it was an unnecessary concern as it all worked very efficiently. The sunrise and sunset on the river were wonderful.
Hakusembe Lodge review
A good overnight stop; activities limited so I wouldn't have wanted a longer stay, but the river trip we did was very pleasant.

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
