Gondwana Namushasha River Lodge is an established lodge in the Gondwana Collection, set on the Kwando River around 24km south of Kongola on the C49, near the Mashi and Kwandu conservancies on the western edge of the Zambezi Region.
Location and Zambezi access
The lodge overlooks the Kwando River in a wildlife-rich corridor on the western edge of the Zambezi Region, near the Mashi and Kwandu conservancies and the Bwabwata, Mudumu and Nkasa Rupara (Mamili) parks. This is prime birding and big-game territory, part of the wider Kavango-Zambezi transfrontier landscape, and the setting is far more remote and natural than the in-town options around Katima Mulilo. Getting here means a drive south of Kongola on the C49, which is part of the appeal.
Accommodation and facilities
Standard Twin rooms are booked with breakfast included and come with a balcony and river view over the Kwando. The lodge has a swimming pool, a restaurant and bar, free WiFi and free parking, and its riverfront position lends itself to boat cruises, birding and game viewing along the river. As a Gondwana Collection property it carries a consistent, well-run standard that is reassuring in such a remote area.
Who this property may suit
Namushasha suits travellers who want a proper safari-lodge experience on the Kwando River, with comfortable rooms, river views and easy access to the surrounding conservancies and national park, rather than a roadside overnight.
Planning your Zambezi stay
As one of the higher-end lodges in the western Zambezi Region, it rewards a two-night stay built around river cruises, birding and game drives rather than a single passing night. Check current availability for Gondwana Namushasha River Lodge on Booking.com.
