Island Safari Lodge

Unbelievable bad accommodation. Even if the owner refunded our money . This place is in bad shape. Beautiful setting just needs some TLC. Unkept gardens and chalets. Not a good place to stay. Staff under huge stress due to management issues.

We booked the adventure safari tour at the Island Safari Lodge. Everything was perfect - from the booking to the end... We spent the first two nights in the beautiful lodge before spending nine nights in a tent in the bush in beautiful Botswana. Everything was well organised and well thought out. Our guide William showed us a lot and answered lots of questions, while Neo, our cook, conjured up something new on the fire every day. So delicious. A thousand thanks for this great experience. We will be back.

Fantastic place to stay! The owners are very welcoming and helped to tailor our visit. The location is perfect near Maun. It is beautiful by the water and the island has its own walking trails with all sorts of animals. The food from the restaurant was varied and delicious. The chalets were charming and met every need! There are 2 pools and a bar. Utter paradise! Highly recommend!

We had a most memorable and enjoyable stay at Island Safari Lodge during the last week of September 2023. Sean and Britt are wonderful hosts and our accommodation was very comfortable. The chalets are well appointed and the staff are attentive. We also enjoyed an amazing Safari organised by Sean and Britt to Kaziikini and Moremi.

We have been to many places throughout Botswana but none as friendly as Island Safari. They were so kind and engaging with our kids. Best staff included George, Karabo and William. Location was ideal for exploring the surrounding areas of Maun. Thanks for the hospitality!

Great place to relax between camping in National park. The staff there is exceptional!!! They were so kind and friendly with our kids. Great location, secluded, calm and the 2 pools were very welcome. I would recommend it to anyone who need to stay in Maun. Again I want to insist on the staff, exceptional!

We recently spent three wonderful days at Island Safari Lodge experiencing the miracle of the water coming down from the Delta. Walking through the beautifully treed sanctuary with abundant bird life and animals was a privilege as was the exciting release of the Chobe bush buck. The newly refurbished rooms with the beautiful mosquito nets certainly give an air of grandeur. The staff were both friendly and very helpful. We will most certainly be back.

The place is clean, the staff are nice and helpful, but there isn’t much of an a**osphere. One of the two swimming pools looked completely abandoned and dirty. Unless you have activities during the day, there isn’t much to do at the hotel. The food is average too.

First time to Botswana and it was an amazing trip. Britt, Sean and all the staff were so friendly and kind. They made us feel at home. The safari drivers, Patrick and William were incredibly skillful at what they do . We had a great time from the food , lodge, camp site and Safari drives. We could not have picked better locations. It was an exciting trip for all of us even though some of them had been here before. Every day was an adventure. We did not know what we were going to see. Having been able to stay at Island Safari Lodge was quite a luxury since there were all those amenities ranging from the pool, restaurant, air conditioning, nice path way for any runs or walk, etc. Thank you for allow us to visit you guys. It was a privilege to be able to visit Botswana.
