The Caprivi Strip is definately going to confuse you. With its verdant network of rivers and wetlands the area is definately more Chobe and Okavango that Namibia.
There are a wide variety of lodges to stay in the Caprivi Strip area. Some are geared at guests who are travelling through on their way from Windhoek to Victoria Falls, whilst others are 'destinations' in their own right.
The
Caprivi Strip is a very beautiful and unusual part of Namibia. It will therefore come as no surprise that the lodges are all very unique and special. The area is dominated by a network of rivers and wetlands most of the lodges are therefore built on or next to the rivers.
Situated where the Zambezi and the Chobe River meet you will find the
Impalila Island Lodge, this beautiful lodge offers boat cruises in the Chobe National Park. In this area you will also find the spectacular
Ntwala Island Lodge, a heavenly retreat where you can game view from the peace sanctuary of your airconditioned room or laze the day away from your private plunge pool. Also in this area you will find the
Chobe Savanna Lodge which is also considered a Caprivi Strip Lodge.
Susuwe Island Lodge is a uber romantic lodge, located on an Oxbox on the Kwando River and is located to the slightly further to the west and along the Bwabwata National Park's eastern boundary. To the west you will find
Lianshulu Bush Lodge, a small lodge with only 10 chalets, which offers game drives into the Mudumu National Park.
Simple lodging comes in the form of
