Words from Our Guests

Excellent

Rated 5.0 based on 66 reviews on TripAdvisor

An amazing lodge. Excellent food/service/location

This lodge is one of a kind as owners make you feel very welcome. The food and service were excellent and location is perfect. We specifically loved the bar/restaurant area (accessible throughout the day to campers/guests) built around a huge tree that provides shade: very beautiful! We also did the Zambezi sunset cruise activity and would highly recommend it.

Sunset canoe and great food

Lovely stay. Wonderful canoe on sunset and jellyfish in cold water, first to see. Chicken with vegetables and potatoes with wood burning fire in windless night created perfect ambience. Friendly staff added to great stay.

Heavenly paradise in remote bushland

We really were not expecting such luxury, it was really a very nice surprise. Our hosts were chatty and charming. The accommodation was perfect. Just simple and clean, fully functional. Beds, plumbing everything.

A little piece of paradise

Excellent place. The owners and staff were very friendly, especially Zayne and Fidelis. Great service. We stayed in the Luxury Tents for five days and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Nice relaxing atmosphere and some activities like canoeing, swimming and fishing.

Lovely stay - plenty of shade, peace & quiet.

I spent 2 nights here in one of the chalets as self-catering guest. Very clean, everything you need, including aircondition for the hot temperatures. Beautiful gardens, abundant birdlife.

Break from daily work

Our stay at Caprivi Mutoya lodge were magnificent. We felt that we are at home away from home. The host Nonna was an amazing hostess. She immediately arranged my Zambezi river fishing and sundowner cruise.
