Ndhovu Safari Lodge is located in a peaceful riverine setting, opposite the Bwabwata National Park, (formerly Caprivi Game Park) in northern Namibia. It is an ideal stopover between Etosha National Park and Victoria Falls.

Wildlife enthusiasts and photographers head for The Mahango Game Reserve, only 2 kms away, and it's typical riverine and swampland habitat attract buffalo, red lechwe and sable antelope, to name a few.

Elephant and hippo often congregate in the river in the front of the lodge, and the open-sided thatched Lapa, extended with a wooden deck onto the Okavango River, gives it's residents frequent and memorable game viewing opportunities. There are lit walkways in and around the lodge, and it is not uncommon for hippo to prance around the lodge at night.

Also located in the Lapa, is the kitchen and dining areas. Guests can enjoy a healthy breakfast, light lunch, and the chef will inform customers of the buffet dinner fare. After-dinner cultural dancing is also a favourite here.

The curio shop sells locally made arts and crafts, including hand-painted dinner sets and branded T-shirts. There is also a small library, complete with old reference books to read, whilst relaxing and unwinding on 1 of the 2 comfortable leather sofa's.

Accommodation is in 10 luxury safari tents, including 1 family tent, and the River Tent. Each has it's own en-suite bathroom/shower, and are fitted with mosquito nets. The more adventurous may prefer the floating River Tent, anchored to the bank. There is not much motion here, and it goes without saying that guests are really close to the river, and it's crocodiles and hippos. It has it's own small private deck; sunbathing, sundowners, or an attempt to catch a tigerfish can be practiced here.

Activities at the lodge include sundowner cruises, fishing excursions, village tours, a game drive into the Mahangu Game Reserve, and a Tsodillo Hills day trip, can also be organized. The birdlife in the area is an ornithologists dream, with well over 400 different species recorded in the region.

Transfers from The Bagani airstrip, (only 10mins drive from the lodge) and to the Shakawe airstrip in Botswana, can also be arranged.
