Kubu Lodge Reviews

We stayed in a triple room for 3 nights at the rate of $300 per night. The location was right on the river, so the setting was quite nice. We saw only wart hogs at dusk, some bird life, and monkeys came by breakfast on 2 mornings to steal food off people's plates. A bit of a nuisance and a show at the same time, as muffins were snatched while heads were turned. Staff used a slingshot to scare them off to varying degrees of success. The grounds were kept, the rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, the staff friendly, the showers warm. There is a nature trail on the grounds that's nice, good for an after-breakfast walk to start the day. The dinners from a fixed menu were tasty and well presented, but the €20 price for each was on the high side. Unfortunately there are no other choices nearby, and driving at night we're told was not too safe. Kubu Lodge was our most expensive stay in Botswana, Namibia, or South Africa, but I am still inclined to consider staying there again, at least on a short-term stay due to all of the upsides it has.
