This place is great and like I have said an oasis in a crazy town. Walking distance to shopping and down to the river. Food is good and so is the service, if you want AC you have to pay a few $ extra to get the clicker for the ac unit. Hopefully for there sake the construction in Rundu... More

We did not have too high expectations. We just planned a not too expensive stop-over on our way to Caprivi. But, what a nice surprise! Big comfortable rooms, a beautiful lush garden with flowers and exotic fruits, very skilled and friendly staff, good food with a Kavango touch in the restaurant and more local surprises at breakfast. We stayed at... More

I spent a very pleasant couple of days here over New Year despite the noise from the neighbouring beach. The staff were very friendly and provided a welcome efficient service with a smile. The food was exquisite and prepared with care - authentic local dishes which are often difficult to come across in tourist lodges such as fresh river fish... More

Stumbled across this property by accident when we fled a nearby river front property booked by a travel agent who failed to inform us that electricity was turned off at 8pm every night. A bit too rough for us! So off we went on a treasure hunt for more appropriate lodging, reinforcing my long held belief that one should always... More

We stayed here for two nights in two double rooms at the end of June 2012. The grounds were well-maintained with secure parking in a pleasant setting near Rundu beach. The rooms were nicely decorated with comfortable beds, however, the shower/tub had some minor drainage issues (floor flooded a little) and because the ceilings are not completely attached, the rooms...

The Lodge is directly located at the Kavango river. From all the lodges it is the chespest. 306 N$ for one person in a double room B&B. The rooms are nicely equipped with aircon, fan, TV, minibar, kettle. Clean and african design, moskito net, gaze against moskitos at the windows. Very silent with view over the Kavango and Rundu beach.Vwery... More

We loved the personal service and friendly faces. The food is good, but the menu is limited. We always go back and we never regret it!

I stayed in Tambuti Lodge for one night on a business trip. I immediately loved the furniture - there are solid wood furniture everywhere, wooden decks, wood carvings, wooden cabinets, you name it. It gives the place a wonderful atmosphere. The garden is magnificent, there is a deck overlooking the river, a swimming pool, and intricate walkways between the rooms.... More

A beautiful garden. Well situated, close to town with a view over the Kavango river. Interesting activities. A rare place where you can get not only delicious local food and drinks but also local made honey, jam, peanut butter and other products. And last but not least it's all accompanied by a very choice of good music. We loved it... More
