"Pleasant lodge with river view"
1 night Arrived 22 Mar 2017
"Great location and lovely grounds on the river overlooking Angola. Pleasant for walks amongst the cattle.
The rooms were clean and pleasant but the food was not as good as we experienced in other lodges." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

"Great view of Angola from Hakusembe"
1 night Arrived 29 Nov 2016
"A comfortable overnight stop to break a long journey. The rooms were spacious and well appointed, and the terrace of the restaurant with its view of Angola across the river was a good place to spend some time.
Everything about the lodge was pleasant without being spectacular, and for us it served its purpose well." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana

Simple chalet that lacked coffee making facilities, but fresh coffee was left on the porch in the morning." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe

"Very good place to relax after long drive"
2 nights Arrived 8 Aug 2016
"Friendly staff, lovely location on the banks of the Okavango. Went to the Living Museum close by and enjoyed the Sundowner cruise on the river, though this no longer is free to guests staying 2 nights.
Food was buffet style largely with good choices.
Road off the B8 before Rundu is now the B10 and is fully tarred. Hakusembe is signposted off the B10 onto a gravel road." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia
