Tsumkwe Country Lodge

We loved our stay at Tsumkwe Country Lodge. Besides the truth of the title of my post, the added treat of the elephants watering a short distance behind our cabin was spectacular! We highly recommend it!

The accommodation was wonderful - very clean and comfortable, and was equipped with everything I needed. The restaurant had delicious food, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The owners were also fantastic - welcoming and warm, and took time to speak with me and show me around the area. I can only recommend that everyone stay here when visiting Tsumkwe.

One of the vehicles in our group broke down on our way to Khaudum and this lodge saved us, accomodating us even when they were pretty much full, helping us get assistance with the vehicle and just overall so friendly and accomodating! The Nyae Nyae conservancy is a must see and just around the corner from the lodge.

We stayed a couple nights here because we wanted to visit the bushman living museum which is at around 30-40 minutes drive.||The lodge is in the middle of nowhere in the outskirts of Tsumkwe a sleepy small town.||The accommodation was quite basic but clean ( a little revamping would be nice ) |anyway the bed had a good mosquito net and the shower had hot water ; there were also extra blankets which we appreciated because during our stay the temperature was quite cold .||We loved the garden so well kept with shadowy trees .||The staff was caring and lovely : We want to thank especially Nelson who was so kind and helpful !||The food was very good both at dinner and breakfast with a good variety .|||Anna and Francesco from Italy

Very neat establishment with very friendly and competent staff - it was a very comfortable stay. Excellent job by our hosts - Pine & Diekie.

We came across this lodge by accident, the village looks small and one might even not expect to find anything remotely accommodating or secure. But then you come across a sign bit old that says country lodge, tired of driving from Botswana decided to give it a go. If we at least find a spot to park our camper and rest. To our surprise this small oasis shows up. And the welcoming was amazing, instead of taking camping spot we got a room. Perfect! Clean and cold water / shower under this abrasive heat! The owners fantastic people and the duty Manager Izzy made our stay more than comforting! I dare you, anyone to give them a shot you will be incredibly surprised. Also there is couple nice secrets there that make this place heavenly in the middle of the dry, hot and nothingness ( but isn’t nothing there? You better check by yourself!) Thanks once more to the Tsumkwe Country Lodge team and owners!!!

Our party of 9 had a great stay at the Tsumkwe Country Lodge. The staff were so kind and attentive. The food was excellent, especially the Kudu Steak. The rooms were comfortable and the grounds well-kept. Most importantly, the owners were so incredibly helpful in sorting out a car repair issue. They really went above and beyond the call of duty. And to top it all off: You can watch elephants at the waterhole behind the property!

Tsumkwe Country Lodge is a really nice place where to spend some days before reaching the Khaudum NP or some other places nearby. The lodge has a beautiful bar area, a nice swimming pool and a very well organized campsite area. The Lodge is based very close to Tsumkwe, so if you need to buy some stuff it takes only a few minutes by car. The personnel is absolutely polite and friendly.
