Diversed wildlife program with two activities every day (guided tours & courses at our BushCollege) included in overnight rates! Our lodge lies within the Kambaku Wildlife Reserve, a terrain that comprises 8000ha of wild bush savannah. The lodge blends in with the surrounding nature and offers an 'Out of Africa'-style atmosphere at every turn. Our lovingly designed rooms allow you to feel fully at home even while you're so far away. Whether you're a nature-lover, a rider, a family, solo or are newly in love, Kambaku is the perfect destination for an exciting but relaxing stay. You'll uncover the best of what Africa has to offer: Wildlife encounters among picturesque scenery, adventure-filled hours in the wilderness, relaxing moments by the swimming pool and first-rate culinary delights. Our guides will accompany you on expeditions in jeeps, on horseback (25 horses, training available too), by foot. You might also choose to sleep under the stars at our bush camp. One life - live it!

Every detail is thougt of, from the pick-up at the airport til my last breakfast. I have never been so well looked after on a vacation ever. The food is fine-dining topclass. The staff is very responsive and always do that extra for you that make each and every guest feel special and comfortable. They even helped me buy new contacts as I brought the wrong ones. I have had so many laughters, so many flora and fauna experienses that anyone could ask for. I have had a remarkable night at bushcamp, an extraordinary day at Etosha. I have met a horse Umapumba whom I'll never forget. I have met staff and guests that will for ever stay in my heart. I have slept like a baby and except my own family I didn't miss a thing. So next time I'll bring them.

It was a small or a large paradise! In the middle of southern Africa! The staff were all so accommodating and incredibly nice! The rooms: cleaner is almost impossible! Or the whole area, so clean! The service: just awesome! The horses: All in great condition. It is looked after the horses 1a. Even a physiotherapist for the horses was working with the horses during our stay! The rides: Beautiful, with many gallops and still various wildlife observations. Then the Sundowners: lovely, along with the horses. I have rarely enjoyed such a beautiful holiday! 5* for an affordable price. Thank you all at Kambaku for contributing to this. I will surely visit you again one day.

The whole Team is absolutely friendly and makes your stay even more perfect! Thanks again for this nice time we will definitely visit Kambaku Lodge again!

I have been told that you can never go back and experience a magical experience again. Kambaku Safari Lodge has proven this statement is wrong. We just completed our third visit and our experience was just as magical and if possible more so. Both my husband, and I were so warmly greeted when we arrived it really felt like we had come home. During our six night stay we saw the "Big 5" and many more interesting animals, such as Warthogs, Bush Babies, Steenboks, variety of vultures, Bee-Eaters, Rollers and my favorite Cape Turtle Doves which had the most enjoyable call. Not enough can be said about Kambaku's staff, from their kindness and helpfulness, they really made our trip extremely memorable. Special thanks to Ryno, Moses, Catherine and Tessa.

We (two couples) reserved the safari camp at Kambaku. We were totally alone in separate rustic tent cabins all by ourselves (plus our private guide Stefanis). (It is in a remote section of the reserve. We did not stay at the lodge so this review is about the camp. One note - the turnoff is at Route 2808 not 2804. We arrived in the afternoon and went on a private game drive. We did not see a huge number of animals, but we really were there for the experience of spending a night in the wild. It was fantastic. We had a great cook named Lucia and she was fantastic. And Stefanis was great as well. He stayed up late with us telling us stories about life in Namibia. We loved this place.

The very best lodge in Namibia! Great staff, fantastic game drives, really good horse riding trips, excellent food. I just love it. If you are a horse ride, do the sundowner ride or the bush breakfast. It is just great! All guides are so knowledgable, all staff is very helpful and super nice. It is a place where you come as a stranger and leave as a friend and always want to come back!

We stayed one night and were disappointed that we had to leave after this one night again. We did enjoy the bush walk in the afternoon where Marie explained the animal tracks and droppings perfectly. A highly educational and entertaining 2 hours! The evening meal was a very enjoyable “Braai” of game with excellent salads. Next morning a great outing on the horseback. We were riding with the Giraffes and got really close. Unforgettable!!! Thanks so much to the whole team.

It was such a great time spending at your lodge. We felt home. Great staff, joke with everybody. Cristian """Thank very much for the warm welcome you did for us,thank you for showing us everywhere. To the owner, we have never seen a man like him, who owned such a marvellous standard company but behave like everybody else. The service ""😍😍 ""made me feel stealing their experiences, I love the introduction they give about what people going to eat. Wonderful indeed,somebody can definitely realise that the training they get' it's top top college. They have proof it. Thank you so so much Kambaku team. We will definitely make it our break stop.

We stayed here for 2 nights in July 2018. We packed so much in to that 2 night/3 day stay, it was amazing! The staff couldn’t do enough for us, making us feel like their home was ours! We did the sundown and sunrise rides with breakfast in the bush! Nothing was too much effort for them and their knowledge of the flora and fauna was incredible! The horses were amazing to ride, not just get on and follow like some horse trekking! The food and whole dining experience was out of this world!!! We dined under the stars on the rooftop terrace with the owners and family and the other guests! We cannot say enough about how fabulous this place is, it is faultless!
