Reviewed Sep 10, 2026Die Hambana Lodge ist eine empfehlenswerte Unterkunft, wenn man den Mapungubwe Park besuchen möchte.
Der Eigentümer Peter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, das Essen im Restaurant hervorragend und die Atmosphäre beim Dinner unter einem riesigen 1500 Jahre alten Baobab einmalig. Das Zimmer ist zwar etwas klein, hat aber alles, was man benötigt. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt und können die Lodge absolut empfehlen.

We were a party of eight and from the moment we arrived to the moment we left we could not have been looked after better, the staff going out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms were excellent with comfortable beds, and the meals delicious. The hotel was ideally located as it was close to the Pont Drift border crossing to Botswana, and I would recommend it unreservedly.

Die Besitzer sind sehr nett und die Küche fanden wir außergewöhnlich gut. Darüber hinaus wird das Abendessen am Feuer unter zwei über tausend Jahre alten Baobabbäumen in einer sehr stimmungsvollen Atmosphäre serviert. In der Nähe der Lodge kann man spazieren gehen und einen Felsen erklimmen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

I enjoyed an unrivalled bush escape at Hambana by breathing in the fresh air and appreciating all that nature has to offer.
We absolutely loved everything the lodge had to offer. Peter and his wife are fantastic hosts, they give great attention even to the small details and are very friendly and kind! They make you feel like home and the lodge itself is very scenic! The hosts make you feel like home with all the meals they cook you and take care of you. The food was amazing , for dinner we had this Amazing Tandoori butter chicken 👌🏿👌🏿.
The lodge is amazing , pictures on the web and booking.com don't do them justice . I can't wait to go back for more visitation❤️

I stayed for the week and even though it was a business trip, I felt like I was on holiday. The teams ability to be present to meet your needs, and but give you stays to enjoy the beautiful scenery (some of the best in the area) was on point.
Food (breakfast and dinner) was amazing, and served under two ancient boababs. Just stunning! Regardless of load shedding, the facility had made every effort to keep it comfortable and functional when the power goes off.
Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Reviewed Sep 29, 2023The accommodation was absolutely fantastic. The whole complex has been lovingly designed, everything fits together wonderfully and is very well maintained. There is both breakfast and dinner, which is always freshly prepared and lovingly arranged. There are also many nice stories and tips, which the hosts are happy to share. Absolutely recommended to spend a few relaxing days. Mapungubwe National Park is also nearby and well worth a visit. There was always WiFi and light in the room even in load shedding, as this runs on separate lines. The whole team does an excellent job and are wonderful hosts.
