Lodge offers a variety of activities; a private boat cruise down the Chobe river
to watch African wildlife, a river cruise up the Zambezi River, walks on the Islands,
a cultural village visit, fishing or simply relaxing at a magic setting. Chobe National
Park contains the world's largest concentration of elephants and offers the world's
best game viewing by boat. A gentle cruise down the Chobe River is truly a highlight,
and the best way to view both the elephants and a host of other game coming down
to drink from the river's edge.
After breakfast and your morning activity you will be transferred by boat and vehicle

light aircraft transfer to Susuwe Island Camp. Susuwe Island Lodge offers 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. 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. At Susuwe game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles 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.
After breakfast and your morning activity you will be transferred by boat and vehicle
to Susuwe landing strip for onward transfer to Kwando Lebala Camp in the Linyanti
– en route being guided through immigration formalities to exit Namibia and enter
Botswana. No trip to Botswana is complete without a visit to the Okavango Delta,
the shimmering and unique watery jewel in the middle of the northern Kalahari Desert.
The Kwando concession encompasses a wide diversity of habitats, ranging from the
clear Delta waters with reed-lined lagoons and channels, to open grasslands, mopane
woodlands and palm-fringed islands. Lebala Camp is situated on the edge of the permanent
waters of the world renowned Okavango Delta and shares a common boundary with Moremi
Game Reserve. Due to the unique location of the Camp, Lebala is able to offer walks
and game drives all year round. In addition, Kwara is in a 430,000 acre private
concession enabling the game drives to operate both off road and at night. The ability
to operate off road and at night gives guests the opportunity to observe many of
the interesting nocturnal mammal species. These include leopard, lion, wild dog,
hyena and smaller predators
