Had three spectacular days at Ngoma, it was fantastic.The views from the main deck of the sun setting over the boabab lined Chobe River and Namibia are breathtaking.The meals were delicious, the staff friendly and attentive, and the private "huts" spacious and beautifully decorated and maintained. Elephants, impalas and giraffes and buffaloes pass by your door. Bevan the tracker /guide... More

Stayed here for 2 nights and absorbed what we could from the wildlife experiences provided. First day of our arrival we were taken on a safari with an evening aspect, but not many animals on this safari as it was the 'wrong season'. We were given some wine etc while we watched the sun set. Lovely. The next day [a... More

I stayed here for 2 nights in March 2012 and had the most amazing time. The lodge I stayed in was stunning, with the most fantastic views over the vista below. The food was all fresh, well cooked and plentiful. I have a lactose intolerance and the chef prepared me a special meal as he knew this. The staff and... More

My wife & I went to Ngoma lodge for our 1 year wedding anniversary and WOW was it an absolutely amazing experience. To start our trip, we saw both elephants & buffalo on the road to the hotel. On arrival we were met with the spectacular view of the main lodge. Doreen and her team were there to welcome us... More

Perfect position with astonishing view, wonderful and spacious suite (with the most PERFECT bed we ever had, really), cut-to-size service with always ready and kind staff. Not for weak-hearted people: there you're in the bush, with a 5-star service. Unlike some previous reviews, we've been very happy with the food. Maybe not the gigantic quantities you can find in other... More

We arrived on our self drive at Ngoma to a warm welcome - well actually Doreen had sent Bevan,one of the guides, out to find us - which summed up the superb level of service we experienced at Ngoma - before you think you need something they are already there. We spent two nights at the lodge, and wished that... More

I found the lodge to be very much like the 3 previous reviewers stated (beautifully appointed, rooms 6, 7, and 8 too far; guides knowledgeable and patient; sunset drives and refreshments on the plains excellent)) with exception of the food. While we had no choices, I believe they would work with you for special diets. It is more of a... More

This is a small very personal resort with only eight rooms.  It is a great base to visit Chobe National Park being very convenient to western side of park.  However it is a fair drive to other side of park for the boat ride and game drives in the eastern sector.  The staff are extremely helpful and the program of activities...

Ngoma is a new, up market lodge just outside Chobe with a fantastic view. The newness is evident in that the staff, albeit very nice, is apprehensive. Things don’t run quite as smoothly as would be expected for a lodge in this league. I believe that these are solely growing pains and once the kinks get worked out, this has... More
