January 2024Absolutely fantastic stay!
We've been at Lubbesrust this January for a week, with a group of 6 friends. We already had some previous experience with high-end Game Lodges, but Lubbesrust sits in its own category! The unique location within a private area of 210km2, the wonderful and extremely competent staff, the architecture and interior design of the lodge and its various buildings are all just outstanding. We very much enjoyed the morning and afternoon drives into nature and were able to seeing a wide range of wild animals. Maifala was the perfect guide, he literally knows everything about the wilderness in Botswana. Coming back from the drives, Kelly had already prepared very tasteful menus with fish, meat and vegetables. We spent our leisure time mostly on the various terraces and pools, only being interrupted by stunning herds of wild animals visiting the close by waterholes. Overall, the stay was absolutely top, we will always remember and we highly recommend Lubbesrust to anyone who is seeking a combination of wild life and luxury accommodation.”

December 2023Top of the line
Amazing camp and staff. As it was off peak season so we had essentially a private reserve. Maifala was excellent and Kelli in the kitchen was wonderful. In this time of year your long range visibility is limited but when you find the animals they are very close. Had baby elephant walk right up to us. Wild dogs on a fresh kill. Surrounded by 10 giraffes another day. The lodges are incredible. Highly recommend if near Botswanna. Sylvia was also very helpful in the planning process.”
