The former Caprivi Strip (today Zambezi region), is a bulge in the northeast of Namibia. Drawing the border and naming it after Leo von Caprivi, it dates back to the colonial prehistory of the country as German South-West Africa.
The Caprivi is the most water-rich region in Namibia. The area is surrounded by the Okavango, ,Kwando, and Zambezi rivers, all of which originate in Angola. In addition, there are also rivers such as the Linyanti and the Chobe.
The abundance of water in the Caprivi ensures an immeasurable wildlife population, in addition, to a large number of elephants. Although there are no border fences, the game is protected and allows the animals to move relatively undisturbed to the neighboring countries of Botswana and Zambia.
The entire western Caprivi is now a wildlife sanctuary. In 2002, the former Mahango Game Park and the West Caprivi Game Park were combined to form the Bwabwata National Park. In East Caprivi there are two other game reserves, Mudumo National Park and the wide-ranging Mamili National Park
Both national parks are home mainly to large population to elephants, but also rare antelope species, zebras, hippos, crocodiles and over 430 bird species.
Namushasha River Lodge celebrates the wonders of the Zambezi water world with accommodation fit for a king. There’s a magic, a feeling or a charm that enraptures you in these northern realms. With elephants, hippos, myriad bird species, waterlilies and African bush, a visit to Namushasha provides an enriching adventure into Nature – to the accompaniment of the chiming of reed frogs, bird calls, hippo grunts and the soothing sound of a boat skimming through water. Namushasha’s impressive central entrance, designed in true African style with a wooden chandelier and carved animals, leads guests into the attractive lodge set between the trees. The dining room, with its high thatched roof, is open on the sides to the river world, providing a suitable – and airy – welcome to wonderland.
Close by is the Namushasha River Campsite. Here you can set up camp on the grassy bank under old grandfather trees and breathe in the spirit of the river. Raise your glass with friends around the warmth of the flames next to the reed-lined river. Here the bulrushes that locals and elephants eat grow and the day and night water lilies float. Campers are more than welcome to enjoy the swimming pool, then dine at the Namushasha River Lodge Restaurant as close as the hop of the river bird.
Zambezi Mubala is a secret river hideaway where water laps the shores of the mighty Zambezi, hippos laugh and the calls of fish eagles pierce the vast blue sky. Leave your vehicle at Zambezi Mubala Camp, south of Katima Mulilo to cruise downriver and enter the enchanted Mubala world. The lodge sings its tributes to the colours of the water, the surrounding riverine vegetation and the clear blue sky, adopting the local Silozi name for colour – ‘Mubala’.
