    This lodge was perfect for us: Our room had 2 twin beds pushed together and the mosquito net over the bed was so luxurious and comforting. This is a tiny detail but I even loved that the mosquito net encompassed the night table along with the...

    We loved Shametu, our tent was on the riverside with comfortable chairs on the decking for us to enjoy the view. The food and staff were excellent and looked after us so well. This was our favourite accommodation during our three weeks in Namibia.
