We had the best time from the moment we arrived. We were warmly greeted by Judy who told us to grab a drink, snack, and be ready in 20 minutes for our first game drive. It was an unbelievable start to our trip. An hour in, we were watching a wild dog kill. Amazing. MK, our guide was fantastic. The next day, a trip down the river, was the best day of our 2 week trip. Seeing baby elephants with their mothers, hippos, crocodile, baboons, buffalo, zebra, many birds, and more. Thanks, I have already recommend the lodge to others.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review of Ngoma Safari Lodge following your recent stay. The wonderful vista and the wildlife in the area is of immense benefit, a passing parade all day and night, with the highlight of your trip having witnessed a wild dog kill. We do hope to see you back here soon.

Best Regards
Jonathan Hudson

What an amazing place. The Lodge is set in a spectacular setting. Bevan our guide was wonderful. Cathy and Peter the managers were ever helpful. The staff took care of everything. Would rec. the whole day adventure with boating on the Chobe river followed by picnic and a slow game drive by the river !!!!!

If I could give this place more than 5 starts, I would! Where do I start, friendly staff, incredible views, amazing property and the food was to die for. All excursion were included and planned out. MK was our safari guide. He's great at what he does! Will definitely stay there again! Thank you Ngoma Safari!

What a fantastic few days we all had at Ngoma Safari Lodge. The food and service was 100%.
The water safari was another experience, there my be only 129,000 elephants in the area, we think we found most of them! We hope to return in the next year or so and hope that Pete and Judi will still be about.
