Morning or Afternoon Boat Cruises take you drifting down the unspoilt Kwando River.

"The early morning suns rays reflect off the waters edge, the soothing sound of the water as it is gently broken by the bow of the boat cutting through the waters surface. The varied landscape of papyrus islands, reed floodplains and moving past petrified dunes, leaves me in awe of the vast open space. Around every corner a new bird, antelope or a carnivore quenching its thirst. A sudden fountain of water followed by a deep grunt reveals the large pod of hippos curiously gazing upon our arrival. The boat comes to a halt."

Morning or afternoon Game Drives within the Bwabwata National Park. As dawn breaks or the afternoon shadows lengthen our game drives depart to discover the unknown behind every bend within the Bwabwata National Park, uniquely located within the largest Conservation area in the World. Our guides find the perfect stop to disembark and setup the morning coffee or sundowner refreshment in true legendary African style. Duration: 3 hours "As the midday sun retreats and the afternoon shadows lengthen we depart on a journey, an adventure to discover the unknown behind every bend. Observing every branch for a rare endemic bird, to be rewarded instead by an elusive leopard. The silence broken by the deep low rumble vibrating through the bush, which could only belong to a large herd of elephants. Out of nowhere they appear with a focused determination towards the life-giving water up ahead. Knuckles white, as I grip the seat of the game viewer, relishing the moment as a highlight of my journey through Africa."

Walking Safaris are an incredible way to experience the bush in a more personal and energetic way. Our local guides take great delight in sharing their ancestral repertoire of medicinal uses of the flora along the way and their tales of the wild and their upbringing in this area. It is an experience, which connects and grounds any participant to our Earth. As we are in a truly natural environment with lion, buffalo, elephants, leopard and other wildlife roaming these plains freely, we discourage guests under the age of 12.

An exclusive evening drive to view the nocturnal wildlife after your sundowner stop back to the Lodge.

At the Sijwa Project, waste from Nambwa Tented Lodge and Kazile Island Lodge is repurposed and recycled, creating employment and skills development training for the local community members of the Mayuni Conservancy.  An organic permaculture nursery supplies fresh produce for local people and lodge guests, mitigating the air and road miles lodge food usually travels. Guests will be encouraged to walk through the permaculture plants and recycling workshops where waste such as plastic, glass and cans are turned into beautiful artefacts for sale.

A magical bush brunch set on a private island under majestic trees, creating an authentic African Experience. Additionally to an elaborate continental buffet the chef prepares eggs and bacon on the fire.

For those specials occasions or celebrations Nambwa creates the perfect experience at sunset at a prime location inside the park.

The famous Horseshoe Lagoon, with its vast herds of elephants is the most sought after spot for a sundowner and snack whilst barefoot in the sand. Soak up the breathtaking sunsets together with hippos and large herds of elephants silhouetted over the water. An exclusive night drive, while viewing the nocturnal wildlife, takes you back home where a bubble bath awaits you.

Nothing tops a secluded personalized picnic under the canopy of majestic trees in the wild. A bottle of sparkling wine and a freshly prepared organic spread from our kitchen will set the scene for a truly spectacular vintage picnic safari.
