Wonderfully comfortable and lovely luxury tented accommodation in the Caprivi Strip. Staff gave very good service! It is very dry following the drought so don't expect water views or loads of game. Our boat trip was an absolute highlight. Don't expect gourmet meals - this is in the middle of the bush and logistics must be a nightmare. Thanks to Sabrina, Westie, Chef, Owen and Collins for your friendly professionalism. A great stay!

A treat

The nature did not disappoint despite it being the dry season. The guides, Westie and Derek did an excellent job. In general it must be said that the staff were very friendly. 

HOWEVER, the lodge experience was certainly not what we expected, especially given their reputation and the cost.
The food offered was absolutely mediocre. We had much better food in much cheaper options like Halali Camp in Etosha which is not a private sector operation! All credit to the poor chef who tried to present something attractive. However, there is no excuse for stale bread sticks, stale muesli, etc. The first evening’s beef stew was inedible, so tough! Our last evening saw the worst sirloin steak I have ever been served???
Our sleeping quarters could not be locked from the inside.???Those of our companions could not be locked from the outside???
Local management apologised that service, etc might not be up to usual standard as we were staying over the weekend and half the staff were away?? 
Our trip included more than ten lodges. The Jackalberry experience was the second worst, only beaten by Ngepi Lodge😩😩

Overpriced and Overrated

Understanding that the region is in the grips of the worst drought in living memory and that therefore the Linyanti River and surrounding flood plain were not as normal we were still very impressed with this National Park. The camp is the perfect size as far as we are concerned, 4 client tents means a max of 8 guests. The tents are well appointed, bed was really comfortable with great linen and towels. The shower was superb. I went on a game drive with Derek and we found a pride of lions (after hearing them calling all night) in short order and then lots of other species, including lechwe, impala, warthog, reedbuck, kudu, wildebeest. I did see lots of leopard spoor and we were unlucky not to see one. In the afternoon we went on a boat cruise down the Linyanti and saw great numbers of birds, hippo and crocs as well as elephant feeding in the papyrus swamp. I have been a professional safari guide for over 30 years and would highly recommend this camp for a short duration stay 2-3 nights in the winter May- Sep months. 

Superb little camp!

We loved the place and the tents from the first sight and the wonderful staff made us a memorable stay. The boatscruise on the Linyanti was outstanding. Thank you to the Team of Jackalberry Tented Camp

lovely stay in the bush

Beautiful and charming place, unique in its design! Immersed in an unparalleled environment. I just have lovely things to say, the staff  was very professional and friendly, the food was good and abundant, the kindness of Simone was 20/10, always ready to help and make you feel at home. We dream to be back soon.

A hidden gem in Namibia!

What a perfect, peaceful and remote location! This lodge has only 4 “glamcamping’ rooms, each of which has the double bed, fly nets, air fan (not air con) and built in shower and toilet. There is also  a central building for the main lodge area, which is built into a Jackalberry tree over 3 levels, this has the dining area and 2 viewing and seating platforms and a small bar.

It is not easy to find,,,,a good 20 km over dust roads with random signing, so get the satellite coordinates and make sure it all works in advance. Once here the food is very good (set menu with no choices each day, you can adjust to allergies and limited preferences) served 3 times daily. Game drives, river drives and night drives all possible and offered by the lodge.

All rooms are clean but being tents heat up a LOT during the day, so make sure you leave them to be aired, at night they call off quickly however. This place is ideal for those wanting to be off of the beaten track….

Gorgeous, remote located tented camp with stunning views

Want to be close to nature? Not afraid to drive a challenging (4x4 ) road? Perhaps this tented lodge is up your alley. It definitely is in the middels of nowhere in between Namibia and Botswana. Only four tented lodges gives you the feeling of having the place to yourself. 
Sweet people, nice food however it lacked finesse and felt clumsy occasionally. The entire spot deserves an update.

Peaceful

We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge. I think it is the only accommodation inside the park and there is no fence, so the lodge is open to all the wildlife. Due to some confusion, we arrived unexpected and we were the only guests (there are only 4 tents), but they really went out of their way to accommodate us and even served a delicious dinner. The tents are spacious and very comfortable. There is no electricity, hot water comes from the solar panels. The hot water bottle at night was a very welcome touch. There is a great viewing deck, swimming pool and dining area, cleverly built all around the Jackalberry Tree. Everything happens outdoors. The activities are a bit on the expensive side, but especially the sunset cruise was worth every cent. We loved every minute of it. Our guide was excellent and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would love to go back some time.

Great lodge inside Nkasa Rupara NP

During my holidays in Nkasa Lupala NP i could visit this incredible lodge situated in a land of beauty. The 4 only beautiful tents are big and well furnished, equipped and decorated. The Italian manager Giorgio is very knowledgeable about wildlife and Namibia and kind person. No one here will come to disturb you, may be wildlife just there for your great pleasure (as elephants but also many birds). Botswana is just near by on the other bank of the river. Food not tested but as per an Italian manage place it shall be very good. 

Beautiful tented lodge in heaven 

The boat trip and game drive with Robson was the highlight of our stay! Food was great. Lodge is beautiful situated in the park!  Love the view from top floor. Room was beautiful with great view. We saw Lechwes and hippos from our room!
