Susuwe Island Lodge (Namibia)

Game Viewing and Tiger Fishing at it's best!

Location:

A spectacular island-lodge, remotely situated in the Kwando River Susuwe Island Lodge offers our visitors the opportunity to experience closely a wild and untouched island of Africa. Situated in north eastern Namibia, our island is in the remote Kwando River - a permanent water source which nourishes delicate ecosystems and sustains varied game and birdlife. Relaxation, privacy and comfort are paramount here.

Accommodation:

Six spacious brick and thatch suites equipped with double bathroom, bedroom, lounge and wooden viewing deck each with private plunge pool offer our visitors the opportunity to merge unhurriedly with Africa's timeless evolution of hazy days and star-studded nights. Mosquito nets, overhead fans and hairdryers as well as generated electricity are provided

Pilots and guides are accommodated in Combretum house which consists of 2 double en-suite bedrooms

Facilities:

Susuwe Island Lodge is built to incorporate the riverine forest - the main complex has lofty canopy viewing decks overlooking endless savannahs, glistening lily-studded wetlands and ancient Kalahari woodlands, as well as a firepit, spacious lounge and dining areas, curio shop and small reference library.
Game Viewing / Activities:
 
Susuwe Island, surrounded by the sinuous Kwando, offers equally intense game viewing within the Bwabwata National Park for large migrant herds of elephant and buffalo, leopard, sable and roan antelope, tsessebe, lechwe, lion, hyena, wild dog and much more. Indeed, the volume of elephants to be seen on the Linyanti River at the southern point of the Mudumu National Park rivals that of Chobe and lion, buffalo and hippo often spotted, while in the more swampy areas, there is always a chance of the rare Sitatunga.

The fauna and flora of the area is protected in thee distinct national parks within the region - the Bwabwata, Mudumu and Mamili National Parks.
At Impalila game viewing by boat in the Chobe National Park for Africa's big game is preferable at sunset. At Susuwe game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles are done in the Bwabwata National Park. Game sightings in this cradle of rivers could include vast herds of roaming elephant and buffalo, lion, hippo, leopard, sable, roan, lechwe and puku for example. Night drives at Susuwe offer an even closer insight into the intrigue of the African bush.
Fishing - A choice of fishing in the Zambezi, Chobe, Kasai or Kwando rivers as well as the Mambova rapids, and backwaters of the floodplains makes our island fishing opportunities magnificent. Fly fishing or traditional angling from either motorized boat or mokoro for a variety of African species is possible and. our guides are professional and very knowledgeable on the area. We have fishing equipment at the lodges.
Susuwe is well known for its exciting tiger fishing. We have enough boats, vehicles and guides at our lodges that guests can structure their own time activity experience.We operate a variety of motorized watercraft - with enough flexibility to enforce our ethos that our guests can choose how they spend their time with us. Time spent with us will leave you with a wonderful insight into the uncharted cradle of rivers which we are privileged to be part of.
