We had a glorious visit at this jewel located on the banks of the Kavango opposite Popa Falls. As a returning guest, I briught friends from the Netherlands to experience this pure African splendour. The Buffalo gamedrive, a custom made lunch cruise on the Kavango, a visit to the Popa Falls, rejuvinated river rooms and the phenominal dinners make this place a must on any itinerary to this area.

The location of the Lodge is good and near e.g. Mahango Core Area of the Bwabwata NP. The rooms are good as well, but some better cleaning would be nice. The setup of the seating areas of the Lodge is not the best (lunch at the pool, cake at the reception lounge, dinner in the Restaurant etc) - loads of walking and navigation for guests and staff. The dinner was good, the breakfast a disaster, as nothing was refilled after the tour groups left... we had to beg for cheese, bread etc. That is not acceptable, and staff seemed to be non-interested during breakfast.

Shametu Lodge exceeded every expectation. The attention to detail across the entire property and experience was flawless. The game drive was unforgettable, the tiger fishing was both thrilling and peaceful, and the fire on the island at sunset was pure magic. To top it off, the food was outstanding, every meal delicious and beautifully presented. A perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and hospitality. Truly one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had!

What a spectacular stay! Breathtaking views and thoughtful design met with warm, welcoming faces. We were able to participate in exquisite activities and excursions, including tiger fishing with hippos and crocodiles, as well as a game drive through Buffalo Park where our guide taught us about the endless animals we were able to see up close in the wild. Kind and caring staff went above and beyond, and our couples massage set us up for deep relaxation while getting a real, action-packed Namibian experience.

Great location, generous well appointed room situated on the river (room 1). View from the large picture window in the room was like a moving painting. River Safari and cruise was also highlight. Food is ok and reasonably priced. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Close to national park. Would completely recommend.

Beautiful location on the river front with views of Popa Falls. Comfortable room, beds, duvets. Good sunset river cruise - hippos, crocs, lots of birds, sundowner drinks at the falls. Nothing is level here, so this can be a challenge for the mobility impaired guest. Very accommodating staff made this possible for me. Close to Bwabwata Park

The stay was excellent, however there were few things that could have made our stay even enjoyable. Improve on the wifi access, provide tv set in the room, provide an iron for your gusts so that they look good on holiday, provide a microwave to warm food as sometimes we have left overs from lunch or dinner.
