Shametu River Lodge

Shametu River Lodge is an amazing place, beautiful view and next to Popa Falls with the rapids roaring sound! We enjoyed our 4 days very much. The staff and service was excellent - from breakfast to dinner at night the food was great! We will be back!

We visited Shametu for 3 nights and were booked into the family rooms no 10 and 11 as two couples with children and there are more than plenty to entertain them. Large gardens, a play ground and plenty of things to do. The breakfast and dinner are of a high standard as well as the general upkeep and maintenance of the lodge. The gamedrive to Buffalo was breathtaking. Large herds of buffalo and elephant are grazing on the floodplains of the Kavango and we just sat and watch the animals. Definitely a must to include in your visit to this area.

Wifi didn’t work properly. Food was average. The hippopotames tours was amazing. Overall, we would come again. We enjoy our stay there.

We stayed at Shametu in a chalet behind the tented rooms on the river the first night we stayed at the lodge. The room was big and the aircon was great! The front of house staff where all very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the dinner, lunch and breakfast very much. We were impressed with the wine list and enjoyed a good bottle. My friend and I had a pedicure and a full body massage. Both treatments were great and the spa staff are extremely professional. We had great massages. Very happy. The second night we stayed at Shametu after a trip to Katima. We stayed in a tented room on the river. The view was beautiful and you could hear the Popa Falls. The tent was very big and had an aircon which we needed as it was very hot in the tent in the afternoon. Overall everyone was very friendly and we where happy with the lodge. We will visit again!! Recommend this lodge.
