We stayed a night, stopping over on the way from Mapungubwe to Chobe. Reception very friendly, service decent, food edible. Prices okay. Tents are beginning to show real wear and tear, definitely need to be made over within the next 12 to 18 months. I understand the safety concern expressed by one of the reviewers, and the lodge seems to... More

Dumela lodge is a good value for money. Rooms are clean and it was the first time we got DSTV in a tented accommodation :-).

My wife and i stayed there for 4 days. The service was oustanding. The staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. They were genuinely pleasant and happy to assist us in whatever way they could. The stay was well worth the money. They get a double thumbs up from me.

We stayed in the lodge 1 night on our way to Tuli Block september 2011. It was a very pleasant stay in the tents on platforms. The staff was very, very attentive. Very nice dinner and breakfast. Makes a change to all the boring hotels in Francistown!
