Friendly,helpful and knowledgeable Hosts. Comfortable but basic tented accommodation. Drinks on the sun deck and plenty of local info. and comfortable chairs in the "honesty" bar.Dinner definitely not gourmet ,at a set time and a set meal. We very much enjoyed our stay here.

We arrived at one of the periods when the lodge is cut off by the flood waters of the river. We had not expected this and were unnerved to round a corner and see the track disappear into the river. The "car minder" appeared and poled us the 500 metres to the island that the lodge then occupied. The pontoon... More

Already getting there was special - they had to pole us to the lodge on a little float as the path was flooded. We were a bit late for the sundowner cruise, but the lady at reception was great and held a boat back for us so we could enjoy this as well. We were only 4 people on the... More

This place is great! Beautiful setting by the river where you can see hippos and crocodiles. We stayed at the campsite here and it has a separate washing area and 2 bathrooms. It's clean and there was hot water. They have power sockets and lights in the camp area with a nice place to make a fire. Staff are also... More

I have travelled all around Africa and this is one of the few lodges i always enjoy. Very small, very friendly atmosphere, great location, great service. When you stay here, you feel like its your own place. Riverfront deck and sundowners during a river cruise are just fantastic. Food is also great. And beleive it or not, that small garden... More

Stayed here for one night in mid-March. Easy to find. The track off the main road suddenly disappeared at the river bank. So we left our 4WD with the car watcher and were ferried across the rising river on a pontoon for around 500m. Apparently this is normal procedure till June. We were met by Manager Horst, briefed over a... More

I've visited Ndhovu Lodge a couple of times and never had a bad experience. Good food and a stunning setting. Very good birding and not far from Mahango and Buffalo game reserves.

What a beautiful place to relax for a few days at the river. Just enjoy the surroundings, the good food and the pleasant, helpful staff. Absolutely one of the highlights on a three week trip.
