    Reasonable place to spend a night in Maun when you've just arrived, or leaving the next day. Clean, but a bit gloomy. Nice breakfast. So OK, but not more.

    Location is superb!

    There is no telephone in the room and the reception telephone is sometimes not working . I guess it's something they can work on

    Lovely gardens and riverside outlook

    A bit dated overall and a fair way from the centre of town.

    Property response:

    Dear Amy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed our beautiful riverside setting and lush gardens — it's something we treasure and are glad it added to your experience. We appreciate your comments regarding the distance from town and the overall style of the property. While we’re proud of the peaceful and scenic location we offer away from the bustle, we understand it may not suit every itinerary — and we’ll continue working to balance our charm with modern comforts. Thank you again for staying with us. We hope to welcome you back in the future — perhaps for another relaxing stay by the river! Warm regards from all of us at Island Safaris

    We booked a game drive in the Moremi Game Reserve through the lodge. This game drive with our guide William was breathtaking! Among other things, we saw elephants, giraffes and lots of lions up close on this experience. As William knew the area perfectly, he also knew exactly where to look for lions. Without him, we would never have seen so many animals. Thank you William!

    Property response:

    Dear Philipp, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your game drive in Moremi Game Reserve was such a memorable and breathtaking experience. William will be delighted to know his deep knowledge of the area helped make your safari so special — and that you had the chance to see such incredible wildlife up close. Spotting lions, elephants, and giraffes all in one drive is truly unforgettable! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to William — thank you again for sharing them. We hope to welcome you back for more extraordinary moments in the wild. Warmest regards from all of us at Island Safaris

    Peaceful location, adequate clean room

    There are two swimming pools at the property but the larger one appears to have been neglected and was not inviting

We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed a peaceful short break with us and found the room clean and comfortable — that’s always wonderful to know. We appreciate your note regarding the larger swimming pool. Your comments are invaluable in helping us improve, and I can assure you that our team is already addressing this to ensure it’s well-maintained and inviting for all our guests going forward. We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing stay — and next time, with both pools ready for a refreshing dip! Warm regards from all of us at Island Safaris
