Mazambala Island Lodge is situated on an island in the flood plain of the Kwando River, in Namibia's Caprivi Strip. The lodge has been built under tall palms and sausage trees.
Mazambala has fifteen brick and thatch chalets. Most of these chalets are doubles, however; several of them can take an extra bed to accommodate three people. One chalet sleeps four people and is suitable for families. Each chalet at Mazambala Island Lodge is fitted with mosquito nets, ceiling fans and has an en suite bathroom.
The lounge and bar area at Mazambala Island Lodge is a thatched building on stilts standing two and a half metres off the ground. Guests can enjoy tasty meals and cool drinks whilst watching antelope grazing on the flood plain below. The lodge also lights a camp fire in their traditional 'lapa' each evening where guests can enjoy pre-dinner drinks. Mazambala has a large swimming pool which is a great spot to cool off between safari drives.
Activities offered at Mazambala Island Lodge include game drives into the nearby Bwabwata National Park, cruises on the Kwando River, bird watching excursions, nature walks and fishing.
