Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge

Sangwali

Small tents, no AC, unfriendly staff in restaurant and bar. Guests are not welcome for lunch. Lunch size micro but prices high. 2 chicken drumsticks and 2 leaves of salad for 100 N$. Dinner portions small. Nobody of the guest was satisfied and all went to bed hungry. Only guides at game drives friendly and really competent. No ice cubes to cool drinks. Solution easy: Invest in solar panels. Sun is available. Tents dirty in all corners.Tents too small to place suit case but on floor. 

Guests not welcome

We spent two great days here. The lodge is in the middle of nature, and it's a bit more for individualists. There are no larger travel groups. The service and the food were very good. We took a bush walk and learned a lot about nature and the life in the bush.

Individually

We went to Nkasa after being, very well, a few days in Serondela. While in Serondela the water of the Chobe River triumphs in Nkasa we return to the arid and dusty savannah (in this period). The spacious, comfortable and complete rooms are built on paffits with colours and stylistic choices British vintage. The structure is very fascinating and placed in a place where visits, in total safety, of elephants, facsimile, lions and much more can take place at any time.

Full immersion in nature.

In nov 2022 we contacted you directly because we wanted to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary.Your reaction was not correct, telling us the bookings we could book.On Oct 2 we were guests for 4 nights, on Oct 5th was our day.No single gesture or congratulation. Nothing at all.One big disappointment 

Very nice but ….

This is a very nice camp but you need to have well researched it first to make sure it’s for you. If you want a luxury tented camp, as this was described to us you will be very disappointed as no air conditioning, electricity only part of the day, limited and poor water pressure for showers. If you want a remote camp with a great authentic feel, then you’ll love it with an adventurous c10k sand drive into the camp and lovely communal outside dinners overlooking the wilderness and their waterhole. Disappointed that when the camp is full their game vehicles and their boats for their combo excursions are full rather than being spread out, making it feel a very overcrowded experience with poor viewing and the activities durations being shorter than described.

A fun but ‘marmite’ camp

Adventurous approach with 4x4 Wheel Drive :-)
But you can also be picked up at a safe place.

As so often in Namibia: cordial service with dedicated people who give us a great vacation.

The location in the zoo is spectacular and you have the impression to really be off.
The pool just above the waterhole seems ideal for refreshment, but turned out to be a box seat for watching elephants, warthogs and monkeys up close. And that is meant literally. 

Meals are taken at a long table with all the guests, which gives a wonderful sense of community. Retreats are given throughout the day.

Game drives by day and night and river make this lodge an attractive spot.

This tented lodge is equipped with everything you would expect. And note: this does not mean that there are all luxuries - it is a tented lodge!
Built as a sustainable location in the middle of nature, the local resources are used sparingly, which also means that in the evening the solar power finds its end or the WiFi behaves quite ponderously.

A complete, lockable tent with bed, shower, bathroom and safe.
The door of the tent withstood even the break-in attempts of the monkeys :-)

For us a great experience!

Your place in the wilderness

I can only confirm all the previous positive reviews! After a good half-hour of dusty road in the middle of nowhere, getting here is a dream! Simple tents, but very comfortable, carefully separated from each other, and a common structure, where to relax enjoying the scenery and dine at the large common table, overlooking the well, constitute this small jewel in the bush, from where to start to discover the charming, and still little known, Nkasa Rupara Park. Highly recommended Combo activity (game drive most cruise): guided by the great Justin, we spent a dream afternoon!

Lovely lodge stretched out in a park all to discover!

Top Service, excelent food with especial the breakfast!   Our Tiop: do the Combodrive = interesting gamedrives, we saw a lot af animals (Warthoogs, Impala, Buffalo, Zebra, Elefants and at least Lions ...) with an Waste our top driver 

overnightstay with combodrive

I can only recommend the lodge - it was the best for me on our four-week trip through Namibia and Botswana! Staff: The staff is very friendly and humorous - I found this very positive, as the handling in many other lodges is either more restrained or artificial. This was not the case here either. It is also worth noting that the lodge made sure that my craghoppers shirt was brought to me before our flight back to Windhoek for car hire after I had forgotten this one in the lodge. Accommodation: The view of the water from the guests is great.

I highly recommend it.

I stayed here for two nights during a trip through Namibia.  What a wonderful little corner to visit.  The lodge is located just outside of Nkasa Rupara NP and game drives were offered in the park.  Many great animal sightings were had, including lion and buffalo.  Also offered are night drives and boat trips up the Linyanti river.  Come visit this piece of paradise.  Wonderful place to stay with great food, nice location and adequate lodgings.
