On the banks of the Kavango River, where Namibia begins to transform into a lush, tropical paradise, lies Nunda River Lodge — a tranquil escape that blends nature, culture, and comfort.
Located near Divundu in the Kavango East Region, Nunda offers an ideal base to explore the wonders of the Okavango River system, Bwabwata National Park, and the broader Zambezi Region.
Guests are greeted by the gentle murmur of flowing water, the chatter of birds in the treetops, and the sight of fishermen gliding silently along the river in mokoros.
Accommodation at Nunda River Lodge ranges from luxurious river-facing chalets with private decks to comfortable safari tents nestled among lush gardens. Each unit is designed to harmonize with the natural surroundings, offering guests both comfort and a sense of immersion in the African wilderness. The main lodge area, with its thatched roof and open layout, invites relaxation — whether enjoying a meal overlooking the river or watching the sunset paint the water in hues of gold and crimson.
The lodge is a haven for birdwatchers, with over 400 species recorded in the area, including African skimmers, kingfishers, and the rare Pel’s fishing owl.
Guided boat cruises reveal the area’s rich wildlife — hippos wallowing in shallow channels, crocodiles basking on sandbanks, and elephants crossing through the shallows at sunset. For the more adventurous, Nunda arranges trips into Bwabwata National Park, home to buffalo, roan antelope, and a growing population of big cats.
Fishing is another highlight, with the mighty tigerfish providing thrilling action for anglers. Cultural tours to nearby Mbukushu villages offer an insight into traditional life along the Kavango, where basket weaving, storytelling, and fishing remain central to daily living.
For travellers exploring the lush northeast of Namibia, Nunda River Lodge is more than a stopover — it’s a peaceful retreat that captures the essence of river life: serene, life-giving, and unforgettable.
