Nunda River Lodge, situated in the Kavango east region of Namibia, is an experience seldom encountered in the Southern African continent with its homely relaxed atmosphere enhanced with a true African wildlife experience. Nunda, the local Thimbukushu name given to the fruit of the Jackalberry tree, is situated on the Okavango River in the homeland of the Hambukushu tribe. Nunda River Lodge is centrally situated as a destination in itself.
Spend at least two days or more exploring the region before travelling on to the Okavango Delta, Etosha Pans, Zambia or Victoria Falls. Excellent birding, magical wildlife encounters coupled with great fishing opportunities as well as diverse cultural experiences will only make you want to return.
Our accommodation includes seven large, tastefully furnished, twin bed, en-suite Meru tents, built on wooden decks as well as eight large thatched, twin bed en-suite bungalows. All units have covered decks which overlook the river. A further four thatched en-suite chalets, non-river facing, complete the accommodation offering.Camping is undoubtedly one of the best on the river. Each site has a braai area, water and electrical points. Our ablutions, with indoor gardens, are immaculate and spacious true to your own home comforts. All sites are grassed, shaded and are in close proximity to the river. Purified drinking water is available.

Guided Game Drives - Nunda River Lodge
Nunda River Lodge organiseert dagelijks guided game drives naar de nabijgelegen Mahango Core Area en Buffalo Core Area (onderdeel van Bwabwata National Park). De safari's worden uitgevoerd in een open 4x4-safarivoertuig onder begeleiding van een ervaren gids.
Tijdens de rit krijg je niet alleen de kans om wilde dieren te spotten, maar legt de gids ook uit hoe de dieren leven, hoe je sporen herkent en hoe het ecosysteem van de Kavango-Zambezi-regio in elkaar zit. De game drives zijn geschikt voor zowel beginnende als ervaren safarigangers. Je kunt onder andere olifanten, buffels, leeuwen, luipaarden, grote kuddes antilopen en met wat geluk zelfs Afrikaanse wilde honden tegenkomen.
Ook vogelliefhebbers komen volop aan hun trekken. De omgeving telt ongeveer 430 vogelsoorten, waaronder bijzondere soorten zoals de African Skimmer, Wattled Crane en verschillende ijsvogels en bijeneters.
