Ursula's Homestead

This a wonderful place to finish off our holiday to Botswana. It was tranquil and great place to sit by a beautiful pool and under an umbrella watching giraffes, elephants, impala wandering across the area in front of the hotel. The waterhole in October did not have much water in it to attract too many animals. The rooms were very spacious and clean with A/ c (what a treat !!) Breakfasts were delicious , also lunch and dinner ( but a limited menu ) We had a lovely meal at the Livingston hotel up the road which Ursulas arranged transport to. They also arranged for transport (for a fee) to the entrance of Victoria Falls , who came back at a specified time to take us back. Victoria Falls were still amazing even though it didn’t have an enormous amount of water flowing over

We had an incredible experience staying at Ursula's Lodge! It is a really special place and unlike anywhere we have stayed before. The grounds are kept immaculate and the staff work hard to maintain the beautiful surroundings. Without a doubt, the watering hole is one of the main highlights, which is very close to the accommodation. We saw zebras, impala, baboons and giraffes coming down the watering hole for a drink everyday. One member of our party even saw a rhino in the early hours of the morning! The staff are all very friendly and professional and we were really well looked after during out stay. The food served at Urusula's Lodge is great, with the Eggs Benedict with mushrooms and the Beef Fillet being particular highlights of ours. The rooms are kept very clean and the beds are huge! We booked a few activities through the hotel, including the Afternoon Game Drive and the Morning Walking safaris. These are truly once in a lifetime experiences and we couldn't recommend them enough. Our safari guide Africa was brilliant! He was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable about the animals and plants we saw on our safaris. We saw 4 of The Big 5 on our afternoon game drive - lions, buffalos, rhinos and a leopard! We also saw lots of giraffes, zebras and 2 hyenas. Spotting the different animal tracks on the morning safari and tracking a giraffe on foot was an exciting highlight! Some of our party enjoyed the morning safari so much that they booked a second one later in the week. Thank you to all of the staff for making the stay so memorable, we were really sad to leave! ❤️

Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing. Lovely staff, accommodation and view from gardens was exceptional. It would be easy to spend an afternoon just looking over the wall at the reserve and visiting wildlife. Downside was that a twin room was booked but we were shown a double room. I was travelling with a friend, resolved quickly but was awkward for a while. This had happened at previous camps so the travel agent should take greater care. I had double checked with them at the previous camp, where the same thing had happened, they assured me a twin room was booked. But the staff at Ursula worked quickly to rectify the issue and I can find no fault with anything else. I would go back again, maybe for a week of complete chilling!
