NAMUSHASHA RIVER CAMPSITE

Book Now Enquire
NAMUSHASHA RIVER CAMPSITE

Here in the lush Namushasha River Campsite, you can set up camp on the grassy bank under old grandfather trees and breathe in the spirit of the river. After a guided journey into Bwabwata National Park, gather your bundle of firewood and return to your campsite home. Raise your glass with friends around the warmth of the flames next to the reed-lined river. Here the bulrushes that locals and elephants eat grow and the day and night water lilies float. Campers are more than welcome to enjoy the swimming pool, then dine at the Namushasha River Lodge Restaurant as close as the hop of the river bird.

After successfully bringing refreshed design and enhanced comfort to the lodge rooms in 2024, we are now turning our attention to the heart of the lodge. In 2026, the main guest areas, including the reception, restaurant, bar, and sundowner deck, will undergo a major upgrade to create a brighter, more modern space that complements the look and feel of our newly styled rooms. To ensure a smooth renovation process with minimal disruption, the lodge will be temporarily closed from 15 January to 2 April 2026. We appreciate your understanding and are happy to assist with rescheduling any existing bookings.

Please note: In the dry season between September and December, the rivers tend to hold so little water that boat trips are limited, with little or no access to the river channels. You are welcome to enquire about the boat cruise activities upon check-in.  We make every effort to maintain the activity as long as water levels permit. The safety of our guests comes first.
