Conjure an image of Namibia and you’ll probably be thinking about sand dunes and dramatic coastal deserts. But here in the far north-eastern reaches of the country, where the lush Zambezi region meets Botswana and Zambia, Nkasa Rupara National Park offers a vision of Namibia as you’ve never imagined; a landscape of wild and untouched wetlands that form the very heart of a vital conservation corridor. Part of the broader Linyanti and Selinda ecosystems, an extension of the world-famous Okavango Delta, Nkasa Rupara offers a similarly magical landscape of rivers and forests, crystalline channels and lush grasslands. It’s a haven for wildlife both in the water and on dry land. The only difference? Here, you’ll have it almost all to yourself. At the heart of this undiscovered conservation hotspot is Nkasa Linyanti, the only camp on Nkasa Island. Set within a private concession, embraced by the Kwando River to the west and the Linyanti River to the south, Nkasa Linyanti is an understated luxury tented camp with sweeping views across the Linyanti floodplain. Nkasa Linyanti is scheduled to open in May 2026.
