There lies a triangle of largely untouched land between the Kwando River and the Babwata National Park (formerly the Caprivi Game Reserve) in the Caprivi Strip known as the Susuwe Triangle. Susuwe is also known as the Golden Triangle, and as with many a safari in these regions, requires 4x4 navigation. But it is rich in game and home to an array of birdlife making it a wonderful holiday option for those wanting to experience unspoilt landscapes west of the Kwando River. 

Majestic sausage, magosteen, leadwood and knobthorn trees grow on the banks of the Kwando River, which wends its way through Susuwe, across the sprawling flood plains and woodlands. A holiday here is incomplete without a visit to horseshoe bend, a large lagoon, that offers the best opportunity for game sighting, with possible viewings of hippo, elephant, buffalo, lion, hyena, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, antelope, impala, sable, roan, waterbuck and tsessebe.

Nambwa campsite, 14 kilometres south of the main road, is the first community campsite in Namibian history that a local community has been directly involved in development and management through its local conservancy structures.

A more upmarket alternative is Susuwe Island Lodge, included in our safaris offering a secluded and luxurious holiday location, with eight private suites of brick and thatch built within the riverine forest. Each has an elevated deck overlooking the Kwando River from which game may be spotted. Your vacation is incomplete without a boat trip down the Kwando River to bird watch or fish or a guided game drive at the lodge. This remote part of north-east Namibia offers the discerning African explorer a worthwhile safari experience.
