Ntwala Island Lodge is set in an unspoilt and secluded Chobe haven, some 80kms upstream from the famous Victoria Falls. It has been sited near to its sister-camp, Impalila Island Lodge. Ntwala's beautiful rooms are well-suited to honeymooners, who may just want to relax on a Namibian tropical island. Cruising peacefully by boat, always seems a much more romantic adventure, than bouncing along a dusty, bumpy road, in a fully-loaded 4x4.

The lodge is surrounded by an intricate system of floating walkways, that connect a collection of small Namibian islands, within the Mambova rapids. Palm trees add to the romantic, getaway feel to this island paradise and it is here that the two mighty African rivers, the Zambezi and Chobe, converge.

Privacy, a high degree of personalized service and attention, culinary expertise, quality and comfort are assured here, important factors when dealing with low impact tourism. The staff are all handpicked, as part of an ongoing commitment to support the local communities.

The 4 luxury suites, emphasize the exclusivity and isolation of the island. Each room has it's own en-suite bathroom, a well-stocked mini-bar and tea/coffee making facilities. There is a personal plunge pool, (to escape the afternoon heat, and fringed by white sand!) an opulent viewing deck, and both indoor and outdoor showers, not to mention a private sala that protrudes over the water. Or guests can just simply relax in a bubble bath and enjoy the view.

As you would expect from an island resort, activities are predominantly water borne. A bridge walkway leads from the jetty to the main lodge. Ntwala Island Lodge is located within a close proximity to Chobe National Park, a destination in itself that brings a comprehensive African wildlife experience.

As it is one of Africa's top bird-watching destinations, some of the Okavango's specialties are found nearby, as well as highly unusual species, such as the rock pratincoles, which frequent the bubbling rapids.

Each suite has it's own personally assigned boat and guide, yet another indication of the lodge's determination to ensure individual choice, flexibility and solitude.

Their motor-boat trips along the Chobe and Zambezi rivers are not only excellent for birdlife, but for hippo and crocodile spotting as well. Big game, from herds of elephants to massive congregations of buffalo, are also often seen, especially during the dry season.

So Mokoro the quiet backwaters of the islands, partake in an exclusive Chobe sunset cruise, whilst viewing Africa's big game, or perhaps pursue the famed Tigerfish.
