Guest reviews for Divava Okavango
"Wood cabin style feels like you are one with nature. Massive gorgeous patio overlooking the hippos."
"Air conditioning not very strong."
"We had never ever accomodation on a so pictoresque place then in Divava Okavango Resort&Spa, on the bank of Okavango River. Foods in the restaurant were tasty, the selection of foods and wines were sophisticated. The atmosphere in the bar was familiar, so calm. The rooms are big enough, the bathroom is well equipped. Programs can be booked at the reception, both river cruises (dawn and sunset) and the safaris to the Bwabwata Game Reserve (Mahango and Buffalo parts) are recommended. The guides (Captain Joseph and Paul) are absolute professional ones."
"The staff itself is less professional. 1. Cleaning of room was in progress when we returned from the morning programs. 2. Payment: the staff didn't send the pre-payment links in time, just after reclaiming. It was a risk to lose the booking, just because of the delay. 3. One of the traverse iron pole of the mosquito net above the bed almost hit me on my head, as the ligament broke... No any excuse. 4. Price: extremely high comparing to other, best in class lodges"
"Perfect stay. Lovely accommodations. Excellent food. Good value for the money. Best place to stay in this area. The boat ride was great. Comfortable bed and pillows. Good air conditioning."

"Our stay at Divava Lodge on the Kavango River for New Year's Eve was absolutely unforgettable! The stunning fireworks display over the river was a spectacular way to ring in the new year. The buffet breakfast was delicious, offering a wide variety of fresh, flavorful options to start the day. Dinner was a true highlight, with a fantastic selection of mouthwatering dishes that showcased the best local flavors. The serene setting and top-notch service made this an incredible experience that I won't soon forget. Highly recommended!"
