"Ndhovu Safari Lodge review"
The location is good for the Mahango park and the Papa falls although both were suffering from excess water and we couldn't drive very much of the park roads. Bird and animal sightings were very good though.
Access to the lodge was by boat and then 4X4 as the access road was flooded though we didn't have a problem getting to the boat pick up point where they'd set up a tent 'garage' for the car and posted a lookout to wait for us.
They provided a coffee machine universal electrical outlet mosquito nets and insect repellant." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"Ndhovu Safari Lodge review"
Friendly and helpful staff.
Excellent food and lovely hand-painted crockery which was also on sale in the shop.
Riverside location with hippos in the water & elephants walking by on the other side.
Good for birding too.
We didn't take part in the activities as we just wanted to relax." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia

"Messing about in boats 3"
The river cruise is pretty basic and you make of it what you can - we had a great evening. The food here is excellent and the wine even better still.
A great stop off next to an excellent NP - Mahango is small but is full of game and birdlife and deserves at least a day to see the best of it." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Excellent location on riverbank"
However any shortfall in expectations were compensated by the riverside location and "nightly grunting" from nearby hippo's." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe
"Ndhovu Safari Lodge review"
The rooms here are more basic - based on a tent construction -, and we could achieve no more that a small flow of water in our shower.
Interestingly, food is served at a common table - meal times being 8 for both breakfast and dinner.
There is a swimming pool which was clean, although had a tendancy to get leaves in it quickly from the nearby trees.
This place seemed much more personal and at home than most other places we visited." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia

"Great views of hippos at Ndhovu Safari Lodge"
We were in a sedan car and it was not suitable to use for the game drive so we paid for a game drive which was very good.
Loved the sparkling wine I was given by the lodge for my birthday!" See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Ndhovu Safari Lodge review"
The hippos passing our tent at night, the friendly staff and the excellent food (do order the pizza when you're there) made our stay quite memorable.
As keen birdwatchers we enjoyed both the gardens and the proximity to Mahango Park - it is a superb location." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 1n in Zambia
