We had such a lovely stay at Tent 2. The views are amazing and the staff is very friendly. You are greeted at the gate with the Guy surely who has the biggest smile ever. Makes you feel right at home.

Property information

Zambezi Mubala Camp is situated on a sheltered backwater overlooking Kalimbeza Island, the perfect place to be to catch the spirit of the Caprivi to capture its unspoilt beauty, magnificent sunsets and spectacular river scenery. Accommodation at the Lodge is in comfortable, rustic thatched roofed bungalows each with it's own self catering kitchen and freezing facilities. Bungalows have 24hr 220v electricity, plug points and overhead fans. All units are serviced daily. Visitors who do not wish to do their own cooking can enjoy a hearty home cooked meal served around the fire at our dining lapa. We also provide breakfast, lunch and lunch-packs on request.

Neighbourhood information

The lure of wild Africa is felt as you drive into the north-eastern corner of Namibia. Once called the Caprivi Strip and later the Caprivi region before claiming its full African heritage, the Zambezi region is a step into the heart of the continent. Zambezi Mubala Lodge is nestled on the bank of the mighty Zambezi River, a short boat drive from our Zambezi Mubala Camp. The lodge is located 40 km east of Katima Mulilo, in the Caprivi strip.
