Susuwe Island Lodge

An African river, a spectacular canopy of indigenous trees and vistas of the Kalahari grasslands in the Bwabwata National Park are the inheritance of the animals that roam here.

Situated in the Kwando River in northeastern Namibia, Susuwe Island Lodge offers just this.

The Kwando River nourishes its delicate ecosystems thus sustaining the varied game and birdlife in the region. Lofty canopy viewing decks set amongst tall riverine trees overlook endless savannahs and glistening lily-studded wetlands. A firepit is embraced by a spacious lounge area and eclectic African art. Relaxation, privacy and comfort are paramount at Susuwe. A mouth-watering aroma, the clink of silver against china, a wine glass filled ? these are the joys of African alfresco dining. Fresh air sharpens whetted appetites and a picnic laid out amidst tall whispering grasses in unchartered territory illuminates the experience.

Six luxury suites, each with a wooden viewing platform and private plunge pool, is a haven of calm and respite, an airy dreaming space to recharge the senses. Professionally guided game drives are rewarded with special sightings of roaming elephant and buffalo, lechwe, lion, and leopard.

A river cruise is preferable at sunrise or sunset and guided walks and night drives offer even closer insight into the intrigue of the African bush. We offer our visitors the opportunity to merge unhurriedly with Africa’s timeless evolution of hazy days and star-studded nights.
