Cresta Mowana Safari Resort & Spa recensioner

Great experience - cozy rooms, good spa treatments, and interesting wine list. Breakfast could be improved.

Etwas unpersönlich, Frühstück nicht gerade vielseitig, aber tolle Anlage

Wij stayed here near the end of our road trip through Southern Africa. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, when you enter you are greeted by the beautiful baobab tree. Staff are friendly, but in arrival there was quite a bit of confusion about the times of the pre booked activities. But eventually that was all sorted out. The location is stunning on the banks of the Chobe river and very close to the National park for safaris. The wifi is good and works through the whole resort. Room is beautiful with a big bed, great bath and shower in the bathroom and great views over the river. The boat trip that the hotel offers is also beautiful and well worth it. When you are here you truly get a taste of Africa. The food in the restaurant is very good too. We had the breakfast and dinner buffets. Compared to other hotels this one is quite a bit more expensive. But that doesn’t surprise me because of the quality of the hotel. I can definitely recommend staying here!

Location location location! This resort is close to town and Chobe National Park. The views from our room/patio directly on the river with spectacular sunsets, they were simply amazing and the staff were so helpful and pleasant. The guides for the river cruise and safari were the absolute best. We were only there for 3 days but could have stayed much longer. I highly recommend this resort. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom was very spacious.

Had the buffet lunch here as part of a Chobe Safari tour with Exoticca Travel. The food was absolutely delicious. My only issue was the waiter, George. We were with another group, and when the drink bills came, no matter how may pula it came out to be, he told us each $10 US dollars. When we figured out the currency conversion, each of us owed only $5. We felt he was trying to fleece us.

Our tour stopped at the resort for lunch. It was a nice lunch. At the end when we paid for drinks the waiter brought a bill for 72 BEP. I asked if he took US dollars and he said yes it is $10. I gave him a $20 and as he was helping another couple at the table I did a quick calculation and found it to be only $5.22. I asked for the 20 back and said I would pay by card. He said too late, went through the cash he had in his hand and gave me a $10 back. Beware George he is dishonest!!!

The most gorgeous place I've ever seen. Aesthetically pleasing, the views from the restaurant are breathtaking, veiws from anywhere in the hotel are amazing. I can't say anything bad about this place. The food was great, definitely try their crocodile tail I promise you won't regret it. Don't miss out

We ate at the restaurant. As vegans we enjoyed the lunch buffet so much that we came back a second time. The avocado salad was out of this world. There was a good variety of vegetables, other dishes and desserts. There were no specifically gluten free options that I could see, but there were potatoes and rice and there was plenty for a gf person to eat. (And the grounds were lovely & shady, with many bird species.)

We stayed for two nights as part of a Chobe / Vic Falls package. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the facilities. Staff were fantastic and the activities we'll managed. Only comment is that there is a great facility next to the pool which is used for lunch. Would have been most pleasant to have eaten dinner there as well.

We stayed here two nights, my only complaint was the fact that all meals were buffet style. The rooms were great, the service was excellent. I loved the squirrels outside my room and the warthogs wandering around the grounds. Chocolates for the turn down service were appreciated as well.

From arrival to departure, it was an unforgettable experience! Not only were the rooms, the food, the spa (!!) and the staff remarkable, but the environment, and all the activities at our disposal made it my best hotel experience yet! It is so evident how much thought and care has been put into this beautiful place. Cannot rate this highly enough!

This is mainly a restaurant / food review. We were taken to this hotel to have lunch as a part of our Chobe National Park Safari Tour which we took from Victoria Falls town in Zimbabwe. Normally such lunches as a part of a tour group are average to average minus. But this one was a surprise. The food quality was good. The desserts were nice and it even had some tasty vanilla ice cream. Lunch menu had variety and the dishes were reasonably tasty. We were made to eat from a buffet in their main restaurant which faces the Chobe river. Nice view. Service was average. The hotel's grounds looked very nice with warthogs all over the place. The lobby was impressive and it opens up into a big courtyard with a large tree as its centerpiece. This was majestic.

I absolutely loved it there! The rooms were well appointed, clean and each had a balcony that looked over a lovely green area that led to the river. The food was good and served buffet style. They had live music at dinner. The beds were comfortable and I slept well. The grounds were beautiful, and I got a kick out of seeing all the warthogs roaming the grounds. These staff members were very helpful and made me feel welcomed....Kealegoga, Makata, and Arnold. The friend that I was traveling with caught a cold and the chef, Katelgo, made her a special tea of ginger, honey and lemon that really helped. He often sought us out to see if she was feeling better and needed more tea. I had 2 massages given by Goitese and she was excellent! We took a morning safari and our driver was skilled at finding animals for us to view. We also took a river cruise captained by Moses.....and it was the best! Moses was a great guide. We came so close to Cape Buffalo, hippos and grazing elephants. I couldn't believe it. My stay was too short. I only booked 2 nights and wish I had the time to stay longer.

Very good experience overall, especially with the river safari right at their doorstep. Our guides were excellent, including our game drive guide who noticed a lioness in an open area who was sititng quiet. After 10 mins of no movement, we left and he took a chance and drove back there toward the end of the drive (about 2 hours later) right when she was getting ready to chase an impala - and I got to witness an exciting hunt! The river safari guide too was very patient in answering all our questions. Over and above, I left a pair of shoes in my room which they eventually retrieved and shipped it back to me in Asia. Greatly appreciated the effort in returning the item which many places might have not chosed to do especially with the cost involved.
