Namibia Safaris: Susuwe Island Lodge

Susuwe Island Lodge ~ Classic 4 Lodge

Situated in north eastern Namibia, Susuwe Island Lodge 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.

Six spacious brick and thatch suites equipped with double bathroom, bedroom, lounge and wooden viewing deck each with private plunge pool offer guests 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. The islands are an experience of sensory fulfillment. Excellent cuisine - al-fresco style in a variety of romantic settings under the baobab canopy - or perhaps a picnic on a wild island. A fully stocked bar, with a comprehensive range of South African wines - rarely seen in such remote destinations.

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.
