RIVERDANCE Lodge
Nestled along the untamed Okavango River, RIVERDANCE Lodge is a hidden paradise where adventure meets tranquility. Whether embarking on a thrilling safari, cruising the river at sunset, or unwinding at the Bush Spa, every experience is infused with warmth, wonder, and the magic of Africa. As the day fades, indulge in a candlelit three-course dinner under a sky ablaze with stars—an unforgettable finale to an extraordinary day.
The cultural trip to the village is authentic and super interesting. It is also possible to directly support RIVERDANCE's MEYU (Water) development project.
A Riverside Retreat Like No Other
Led by a passionate Swiss couple, RIVERDANCE Lodge offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation. Guests can explore the wild beauty of the region through river safaris, cultural village visits, mountain biking, and guided game drives. After an eventful day, the Bush Spa awaits with soothing massages and yoga sessions, ensuring ultimate rejuvenation.
Built above the river and surrounded by lush trees, the eco-boutique lodge features seven spacious bungalows crafted from local wood and glass, offering stunning views of the Okavango. Each bungalow boasts a private deck with sun loungers, inviting you to soak in the serene surroundings. As night falls, drift off in an extra-large bed to the soothing sounds of the river—occasionally punctuated by the grunts of hippos and the calls of exotic birds at dawn.
From the open-air deck, guests can gaze across the Okavango toward Angola while enjoying a lavish breakfast buffet or a light lunch upon request. The evening brings a culinary highlight—a three-course candlelit dinner, a guest-favorite that turns each night into a celebration of flavors and ambiance.
