Thamalakane River Lodge

En-suite stone chalets, some with private splash pools, are positioned in the shade of the riverine forest, overlooking the river. Chalets and the swimming pool take advantage of the 180 degree view of the riverbanks lined with fluttering reeds visited by an ever changing array of water fowl, birds, and the occasional hippo. It is a delightful place to come home to after a day spent exploring.

The widely acclaimed restaurant serves a la carte and buffet style meals from an ever changing menu. Dusk is spectacular, with the sun setting the river ablaze as is slowly dips behind the trees.

Experience & Activities

Thamalakane enjoys a wonderful location, which lends itself to relaxation around the pool and on your private patios enjoying the plentiful birds and spectacular sunsets.

The Delta is on the doorstep – a 45 minute drive by car or boat will see one at the Boro Poler station where you are able to participate in traditional Mokoro trips and guided walks in the Delta. Sight-seeing and safari day-trip packages are available with pick up and drop off at the Lodge.
