Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge

Built on the banks of one of the many channels of the Kwando–Linyanti river system, this unique Namibian wetland paradise in the eastern Caprivi Region, commonly known as Mamili, was recently renamed Nkasa Lupala National Park.

The lodge is located on the northern unfenced park border in the Wuparo Conservancy that is part of the successful and award-winning Namibian conservation program followed by IRDNC and WWF. Nkasa Lupala National Park is famous for its large herds of elephants and buffaloes. It has a high population of game that attracts all the major predators.

Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge offers 10 luxurious tents on stilts with en-suite bathroom facilities offering hot water generated by solar power. The tents offer a superb eco-friendly and personalized safari experience. There is one Honeymoon Tent and one Family Tent, and guests can savour their eyes on herds of buffaloes and elephants from the tent decks.

The lodge’s spacious and comfortable lounge and dining area is built on a raised deck offering breathtaking views across the channel and floodplains. Game drives to the Mamili National Park as well as the Mudumu National Park depart in the afternoon and mornings, offering fantastic game viewing opportunities surrounded by wilderness. There have been over 400 bird species recorded within the park making this a birders dream adventure. Sundowner boat cruises, mokoro trips and guided walks ensure a complete experience for guests staying longer than one night.

The area offers amazing photographic opportunities and memories to last a lifetime. A large population of the park’s wildlife roam freely on the unfenced lodge surroundings through the savannah and woodlands. Feasting your eyes on lions, leopards and hyenas is a common phenomenon in this wetland paradise. Sometimes even the rare wild dog graces us with its presence.
