The Lodge
I love Basambilu Lodge, because it is so easy to meet other residents", says Silke from Germany, sitting in the open-air kitchen.
A truly international clientele, with local villagers brushing elbows with the short term guests and longer term aid workers make Basambilu a fascinating place to spend a lazy afternoon by the pool, or engage in a lively conversation with a fellow traveler or village elder.
Snacks and light meals can be ordered from the well-equipped restaurant, or prepared in the open-air kitchen. Community events and cultural displays are often held in the Basambilu Lapa with seating for up to 50 people.
Whether you’re looking for luxury private rondavel chalets, or the economy 8-bed dormitories, Basambilu will accommodate your needs. For the truly budget conscious, there is also camping for up to 20 guests.
Special precautions are recommended against malaria – consult your medical practitioner before traveling to Basambilu since it is located in a malaria area.
