Ndhovu Safari Lodge
What is unique at Ndhovu Safari Lodge?
Ndhovu Safari Lodge is the oldest lodge on the okavango river in the caprivi and was established just after
Namibia gained its independence in 1989.
We are pleased to announce the launch of our Houseboat Safaris, the first ever on the Okavango River!
For two to three month of the year we are an island due to the fact that the flow of the river is faster than
the Okavango delta can absorb the water, and it is thus forced to overflow the banks of the river into the
floodplains.
In our lttle shop you can purchase “Penzo” handpainted crockery.
Accommodation & Facilities
We offer ten luxury tents, of which one is anchored on the river, each fully equipped with its own en-suite
bathroom facilities and a bedside view over the river.
Our brand new Houseboat Safari offers accommodation for 1 double and 1 twin cabin (maximum) 4
people on the upper deck, while the lounge and dining area as well as the shared bathroom (separate
shower and WC) are downstairs. Your adventure awaits you, while we explore Poppa Falls, the Okavango
River and the incredible Buffalo Park Game Drive. Minimum two nights stay on a fully inclusive basis.
Our one exclusive campsite, for up to 15 people in your group is situated along the river under shady trees,
the swimming pool is surrounded by a large area of lawn and indigenous trees.
A charming thatched lapa with a bar and a wooden deck also overlooks the river. Meals are served on
rosewood and kiaat tables from penzo tableware
Activities include boat trips along the border of the Caprivi National Game Park, where you could
see: hippo, elephant, buffalo, crocodile and birds which include the White backed Night Heron
and possibly the Pels Fishing Owl.
We could also take you to the Mahangu National Game Park where you could see:
Sable Antelope, Roan Antelope, Letchwe, Reed Buck, Tsessebe, Elephant, Buffalo,
Lion and Leopard.
Or you could take a full day Game Drive into the Buffalo Game Park where you
have a chance to see bigger herds of buffalo, breeding herds of elephant and the Sharp Tailed Starling.
We also offer fishing trips where you have a very good chance to catch Tiger fish, Barbel and Nembwe
If you want to stretch your legs you could join one of the local guides to take you on a 2hour village tour
where you could see how the Hambakushu people live everyday
