We enjoyed silence, nature and kindness of everybody. Hearing the hippos was spectacular. Unluckily, we did not see them on our boattrip but this was not a fault of anybody.

Tolle Lodge am Okovango

Terrasse mit Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang auf den Okavango. Sehr gepflegte Anlage mit vielen Vögeln. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Zusätzlich gab es noch eine Tea-Time mit Kuchen Zu bemängeln sind lediglich die Getränkepreise, die dreimal so hoch waren, wie im Geschäft. Ist unüblich in Botswana
