Camp Hogo Kavango

If you want to stay overnight in Rundu for a favourable price and you prefer the Kavango riverside to the noisy city, this camp is a good option, 10 km from the city. To reach it, drive to the Rundu Border Post (google maps will guide you there) and then follow the signs.

After a few days of camping this felt like an oasis. Fixed tents with a comfortable bed (proper mattress, not to firm not to soft). Gert, the owner, was very attentive and helpful. It is the detail that is important - for our children they had children duvet covers, for the adults an adult one... (our kids are 17 & 18 but they didn't know). He also extended our sunset boat ride in the other direction as other guests had seen a hippo that way the previous evening. The tents are in 2 rows but I preferred the ones overlooking the Kavango - we had lovely breakfasts overlooking the river. Beware of the meals - they are meat inspired; Gert and his wife were kind enough to halve the steaks for us but that still meant 400g of meat for every individual (I managed...). Security is excellent - there is CCTV, constant alarm and the owner is armed.
