One of my favorite places in Africa
Posted 6 Jul 2019 on HotelsAbsolutely wonderful! Beautiful, new, clean, comfortable rooms. Lovely property. Such a pleasant surprise in the middle of nowhere. Right on the river and close to the National Park where we saw great wildlife, including 2 leopards. The property has many relaxing spots to enjoy.
The dining was lovely and they paid attention to detail, even proving blanket at the table for chilly evening and mornings.
Helpful friendly staff.
The only problem was the safe was not working in the room.
Stay here.

Relaxing at its Best!
Posted 27 Jun 2018 on HotelsWhat a pleasant surprise after a long journey on the road to get to Caprivi. Our rooms in a beautiful park along the Kavango and a lounge with dining in a stunning african style: decent with attention to the smallest details. The food and service surpassed anything we found in the two weeks before in Namibia. The owners helped us with hands-on tips exploring the surrounding national parks. Elizabeth invited us to her home to witness a authentic demonstration of local cooking and food. The WiFi offers room for improvement.

Outstanding!
Posted 19 Feb 2018Our stay at Shemetu River Lodge was outstanding. After a quick change in our itinerary (to take the Caprivi Strip) we found the Shemetu Lodge. What a blessing! The rooms were exquisite and restful. The view of the delta was premiere. The staff went above and beyond anything needed. And the food was by far the best we have had throughout our time in Botswana. We would take a trip back to Okavango Delta just to go back to Shemetu River Lodge. Highly recommend!

Friend of the house experience
Posted 27 Dec 2017 on HotelsTravelling off the beaten track with two kids ( 5 and 10 ) you are especially observant of the service and quality you get. Shametu lodge provided us with an exceptional experience that best can be described as a friend of the "house". The owners are dedicated and manage to capture the essence of your needs together with their amazing staff. We even left our oldest behind alone at the lodge while we went shopping in the village nearby. Staff is alert and understands that when you ask where to find your morning coffee in the excellent morning buffet, instead of only pointing in the direction, they instantly bring you your coffee with a smile.
The chef not to be forgotten. He came to the table asking to our wellbeing, seldom seen in African lodges. Price is certainly within range of most family budgets, no need to climb higher as you won’t increase your value for money. We went on the hippo cruise and once stuck on a rock, the guide without hesitation jumped in the water to get us free...water with crocks and hippos I should mention... Take the village tour, it’s worth it, especially if you like us, have kids that are use to an overflow life. Good for them to see with their own eyes that the world is fare from equal.
We warmly recommend this lodge. Our trip included 4 countries in the region, and 3200 km driven, nothing on our trip came close to this. We will be back. Thanks to all at the lodge

Einfach alles super. Wir waren zum 2. Mal dort. Sollten wir wieder in der Gegend sein, werden wir dort wieder übernachten.
