Impalia Island Lodge, on the the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers, Botswana
This unique island is situated at the meeting place of two mighty African rivers,
the Chobe and Zambezi, and four countries, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
This is the only place in the world where four countries meet. Impalila Island forms
the north-eastern tip of Namibia and lies just 70km's west of Victoria Falls. The
surrounding area is an amazing mosaic of waterways, floodplains and bushveld:- host
to exceptional birdlife, game viewing and assorted vegetation - and in the waters
outstanding fishing opportunities.
Impalila Island Lodge is a 16-bedded luxury situated at the confluence of the Chobe
and Zambezi rivers. The prime attraction is the coveted Tiger fish (Hydrocynus vittatus)
which is considered one of the top freshwater game fish in the world but you can
easily hop across the border for a visit to Botswana’s Chobe National Park.
At Impalila game viewing by boat in the Chobe National Park for Africa's big game
is preferable during the mid afternoon to sunset when game comes down to the waters
edge to drink. The Chobe is but a short distance away and one of the attractions
is to take a late afternoon cruise into the Kasai channel and from there into the
Chobe - renown for vast elephant herds, buffalo, lion, hippo, the rare Chobe bushbuck
and puku. Elephant cross the Chobe onto Impalila Island often, and along with hippo,
sitatunga can be seen from Impalila Island Lodge.
