Introduction

Nambwa Campsite takes you deep into the outdoors. A unique blend of expansive wild and eclectic decor creates a never-before-seen wonderland.

Our four exclusive sites are nestled under either a majestic Jackleberry, Strangler Fig, Leadwood or Knobthorn tree right behind the Kwando Rivers‘ lagoon.

Each site has an expansive view of the vast floodplains beyond, with an abundance of animals roaming these plains. Two of the 4 campsites are more secluded and closer to the floodplains. Campsites 3 and 4 would be perfect for larger families or groups travelling together.

LOCATION

Now in a new location further into Bwabwata National Park, this is a truly secluded and wild setting.

Pass through the Park Entrance Gate, then follow the green direction signs towards Nambwa Tented Lodge. Look for the Nambwa Campsite sign at a fork in the road, then turn right. Stay on this road until you see the Nambwa Campsite sign. Turn left and continue until you reach reception.

Please stop here and purchase your Park Entry Permit as you will need to show this to us on arrival at Nambwa Campsite. You should expect your drive to take about 45 minutes from the Park Entrance Gate. Due to the thick sand, you will need a 4×4 vehicle.

As Nambwa Campsite is in the heart of KAZA, the world’s largest wildlife conservation area, it is without a doubt, wild camping in its truest form, with local and migrant wildlife wandering through the campsite.

If you’re nervous about hippos and elephants coming through the camp, you might want to sleep in a rooftop tent on your vehicle.
