Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
The lodge is located in a very nice place, despite of the fact, that the Thamalakane River was arid.
The staff was fantastic, both the reception and the support team. Very good "safaris" were organized by the lodge, one to Mokoro (Okavango), one to Moremi Game Reserve, with local guides.
Food is excellent. Breakfast is rich, dinner is depending of the number of guests, menu or buffet, but the foods are excellent in both cases.
The room is very cosy during the day, but...
Lovely hotel with very friendly helpful staff, handy to nearby ATM and easy to get taxis into town. Lovely grounds, great pool, comfy beds, fab breakfast, great place to start a safari from.
It is clean, comfortable and well managed.the room had everything we needed and more.the lodge is conveniently laid out for access to the boma area and bar which were lovely.dinner was excellent.
After a disaster with our transport to our other accommodation, the very kind Maun Lodge driver reduced us from the airport and offered to help us get a taxi. After not being able to contact our other accommodation we decided to stay at Maun Lodge and also book to stay there when we returned from our safari trip in CGKR too. Our whole experience was very good, and we felt very well looked after. The food was good in the restaurant and the rooms were very comfy!
I had an incredible three-night stay at the island safari lodge! The highlight for me was undoubtedly the delectable food; the chef's skills were truly remarkable. The staff, from Tumo the bartender and the attentive waitstaff to the diligent housekeeping team, made my stay exceptionally comfortable. The rooms were not only cozy but also impeccably clean. Overall, a fantastic experience that left me thoroughly satisfied.
The room was clean and the food was good. We had a buffet and a la carte. The location was at the Thamalakane river but it was dry when we where there (July). The staff was friendly and helpful. After the stay we booked a 2 night safari in Moremi and Kwai with Planet Safari (right across the street) which was a wonderful experience. After that we came back again at Thamalakane lodge for 1 night.
Nice and individually decorated lodges /"chalets" in a tropical garden with pool. Beds with mosquito nets.
Very friendly staff. Very good breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay there. Thank you !
Island Safari Lodge was exactly what we were looking for - and was the perfect overnight stop for us in Maun, before going on safari. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful - the food was great - the vibe was awesome!! It's a genuine old-time safari lodge - something really special.
The owner is so polite, helpful and tries to do his best to make you feel comfortable and organise your stay and trip as good as he can. He helped us to book a helicopter flight, gathered offers from different Lodges in the delta, found a mechanic to repair our car and gave us a lot of advises regarding shops, restaurants and everything around. Breakfast is very nice. The nature around the property is really nice. It is quiet.
