"very very friendly"
Chris the manager was an amazing host always on hand, the setting was superb even though the Hippos tended to wake you in the middle of the night with the noise, food fantastic, I would recommend this place to anybody" See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Fun with the Hippos!"
Dark walk to the main hut and accompanying hippo noise and stories made this a little scary on first night. Camp manager Chris initially seemed very laid back, but possibly shy. However, became more attentive and was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Food in the camp was very good and the boat trip was excellent.
Took the game drive around nearby park and then returned in our own vehicle." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Ndhovu Safari Lodge review"
Really great to hear the hippos at night and see them by day.
Michael was a great guide who took us to his home in the village and also to the village school where the kindergarten children entertained us." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Ndhovu Safari Lodge review"
Everyone was very friendly and always on hand to help us enjoy all the activities that the lodge provided,but, also happy to let us have our own time to relax. we had avery good tour of Micheal's local village and the school.
All the meals we had were very good." See all these reviews: 5n in Namibia; 3n in Zambia
"Disappointment at Ndhovu"
The camp and activities were being run in the absence of the owner (only temporarily we were told) by a young man who was clearly both stretched and stressed, and who did not communicate well.
The amount of food prepared for meals was finely judged. There was no choice of cereal for breakfast, and orange coloured jelly and red jam came in plastic catering sachets. Extras were expensive, which made this by far our most costly stay. This proved annoying when contrasted with the standard of the camp.
We question whether this establishment was really up to Expert Africa standard. We would not be inclined to return." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
"hippo camp"
Horst and Chris were excellant hosts and the two drives and sundoner on the river were brilliant.the Hippos were just the best ,we will never forget that wonderful noise . Our three nights stay was perfect." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"guesthouse on the kwando river"
Concerning the room, we were first on a raft; but with the pitching we were unconfortable and ask to change for the next night ( done without any difficulty). Basic bathroom.
The boss was our private guide; we appreciate. The game drive was a bit poor." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"lovely but for the hippos"
food was served at large tables...which I don't like....however we did end up with good company. despite marking this as excellent, I am not convinced that this was the most interesting place to stay." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Good place to spend the night"
Very cold - we needed every one of our mountain of blankets in the night." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana
