Namibia Reservations - Northern Tour

Our Northern Tour - Marketing and Consultants

We had a wonderful experience, when we went to the Northern part of our beautiful country. I had the privileged to visit 7 out of 100's of astonishing establishments  Namibia has to offer.

We left on Friday the 12.12.2014, after lunch for our trip to Rundu where we spent the night at one of Gondwana's amazing accommodations - Hakusembe River Lodge. We arrived at 7:30 and did not have much to see but we were welcomed with a lovely dinner........the food was superb!!!! The next day we had a hearty breakfast and took a tour around the Lodge - accommodations/rooms nice, spacious and clean and a well maintained garden. Staff was very helpful and made us feel at home.

After our site inspection we left Hakusembe and proceed with our tour to Divundu, where we spent the night at Nunda River Lodge. Before Nunda River Lodge we made two stops for a quick site inspection at Popa Falls Resort and Lunch at Divava Okavango Lodge. - I truly have to say these places are beautiful, the rooms nice and spacious, for those of you who love to be spoiled Okavango Divava Lodge is just for you! All its spa facilities has an awesome view over the Okavango River. Popa Falls also well maintained rooms and areas are clean.

We arrived at Nunda River Lodge at 16:00 and were welcomed by Cameron with a "Nunda welcome drink". After our introductions, we got the chance to get ready for our Boat Cruise - where we saw some of the Hippos and Crocodiles, we had a lovely guide Basie, who answered all our questions. He took us down to the Hippo Pools & Popa swamps..........here we took some photos and I have to say it was magnificent. After our Boat Cruise we went back to freshen up for dinner. Here the staff were also very friendly and helpful, Nunda is well managed, the rooms spacious, some of the bungalows has an open air bathroom/showers which have a view over the Okavango River.

After a good nights rest we packed up our stuff for our last 2 site inspections for the day at Mahangu Safari Lodge; Ngepi Camp, but before we left we also had a nice breakfast. Our first stop was at Mahangu Safari Lodge, both these two places are amazing in its own way, with nice and funny quotes on the trees and walkways. Mahangu Safari Lodge is where you can bring your family and and just relax. Where I would say Ngepi is for those of you who love nature doesn't matter where you are....whether you're in the toilet or bath - nature is all you get.

RiverDance Lodge, I believe this was the HIGHLIGHT of all the places we visited. Beautiful, awesome, breathtaking and so much more. RiverDance Lodge is owned and managed by a lovely couple Karin and Tino and their 2year old baby girl Annabel, she's really adorable. Welcomed with a lovely drink from one of the staff members and before we sat down for lunch they took us for the site inspection. Everything at RiverDance Lodge was SPOT ON from the exquisite rooms to the friendly staff to a satisfying lunch. Definitely a place to be visited again.
