A large wooden deck overlooks the river and it is here where one can enjoy sundowners while watching spectacular sunsets, with an abundance of birdlife.
Enjoy the splendour as snorting hippos make their way downstream to their feeding grounds. The restaurant offers a fine variety of Namibian cuisine complimented by a large selection of excellent wines from our wine cellar.
We have a large swimming pool, set amongst a magnificent grassed garden,
in which to cool down on those hot sultry days.
Activities include guided game drives, boat cruises, angling expeditions
and traditional Mokoro canoe trips down the river. We also offer camping
excursions to the Khaudum National Park. Guided birding and nature walks
are a rewarding experience, as are the cultural walks through traditional
villages.
Various species of Tilapia, Sharptooth Catfish, Nembwe, as well as the legendary Tigerfish, entice anglers to wet their lines at this popular spot. Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy an exciting and rewarding experience in these rich waters.
Daily game drives to the Mahangu and Bwabwato National Parks in an open vehicle offer a truly magnificent experience. Visitors can expect to see a variety of wildlife species, including wild dog, lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, Letchwe, Sitatunga, hippo, crocodile, and numerous antelope species.
The area is also home to the largest herds of sable and roan antelope in Africa. These majestic creatures add to the region's reputation as a prime wildlife destination.
The region boasts an estimated 430 species of birds, including over 20 endemic or near-endemic species. Birdwatchers can spot special species such as the Yellow Wagtail, Wattled Crane, Great Snipe, African Rail, and African Skimmers, making it a haven for ornithology enthusiasts.
The Caprivi, a narrow strip of land in the far northeast of Namibia, is approximately 400 km long and borders Angola, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. It is also incorporated into the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area.
The Caprivi falls within the tropical climate zone and receives the highest rainfall figures in Namibia, mainly between December and March. Major rivers such as the Kavango, Kwando, and Zambezi flow through this region, originating from catchment areas in Angola and Zambia.
The mouth of the Okavango Delta, known as the Panhandle, is situated in the Caprivi region and offers a magical journey filled with culture, birds, mammals, and flora.
The local communities are ruled by their Fumu (King) and largely maintain their traditional way of life. Two kilometres west of the lodge lies one of the scenic highlights of Western Caprivi—the Popa Falls.
More rapids than falls, the Kavango River breaks through a four-metre-high rocky intrusion amidst islands dotted with pristine forests surrounded by aquatic vegetation.
Nunda Safaris Lodge is centrally situated as a destination in itself. Spend at least two days or more exploring the region before travelling onwards to the Okavango Delta, East Caprivi, Zambia, or Victoria Falls.
