In the heart of southern Africa, approximately 2000km from the southern tip of the continent and from the equator, and equidistant between the Indian and Atlantic oceans, lies Namibia’s best-kept secret, the Zambezi Region.
Newly-built, modern, innovative and stylish, Zambezi Mubala is a secret river hideaway. Where water laps the shores of the mighty Zambezi. Where hippos laugh and the calls of fish eagles pierce the vast blue sky.
Leave your vehicle at Zambezi Mubala Camp, south of Katima Mulilo, to cruise downriver and enter the enchanted Mubala world. Here, vervet monkeys scamper through the trees, swamp boubous’ melodic banter rings through the air, while tree squirrels hop nimbly from branch to branch.
Relax on your balcony or lie back on your king-size bed in your spacious cabin and absorb the peace of the river. While mekoro slice through the water, the muted sound of cow bells wafts through the air and the cool breeze dances on the river.
The lodge sings its tributes to the colours of the water, the surrounding riverine vegetation and the clear blue sky. While adopting the local Silozi name for colour – ‘Mubala’. It tastefully explores this scenic theme in its shades of gentle blues and sea greens. While the colours punctuate wicker chairs and tint bungalow walls.
In addition revel in the peace of the surroundings. Such as the celebration of birdlife and the rich colours of life that pass by. While they drift along the steady current of the river.
