"Such a beautiful place"
We were so very fortunate in having Cameron as our guide and even more fortunate when Edmund accompanied him. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for all aspects of the flora and fauna, their willingness to share their knowledge, to search for the things we wanted to see with such patience and determination, their courtesy, their obvious desire to give us the very best - and safe - experience we could have, all combined to make our drives in this area better than we could have ever hoped for. So very, very enjoyable.
Our time at Nambwa is one we will remember with great fondness for a very long time; this was the hardest of places to leave." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"Nambwa Tented Lodge review"
Our guide for 4 days was Alphius- a lovey knowledgable guide.
Fabulous spacious tented room. Loved the high walkways - elephants came through the camp one evening and we were able to observe them silently from above, we were so close to them.
Delicious food - all meals.
We visited The Sijwa Project which I would highly recommend.
Would love to return again one day." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"Really enjoyable 3 night stay."
Definately the best guide in Alphieus (/) of the whole trip and as with all of the guides absolutely brilliant eyesight, not only in front of them but at the sides as well.
I suspect that if an animal crept up from behind they would see that too." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"beautiful tented cabins above the forest"
"Nwamba lodge"
The room had a bath but the water colour was off putting." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia
"Superb location,camp & staff"
The lodge is superb with spacious & very well equipped & supplied tents. the guiding was excellent & we had one of the best boat trips ever, seeing a host of birds & river life at close quarters. The lodge & tents are raised high off the ground, which is just as well as the site is on an elephant path.
It is quite exiting to see 20-30 elephants approaching the camp knowing that they an traverse the sit by passing under most of it. Even more exiting for the campers at ground level! we can thoroughly recommend Nambwa.
We had hoped to do some guided walking on this visit but it unfortunately was not a possible option." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana
