The Lodge

The LodgeNkasa Lupala tented lodge has 10 luxury Tents constructed out of steel, canvas and wood with proper doors and windows and en-suite bathroom facilities. A central main area with bar, dining room, lounge facility, kitchen, storage, office and view point is linked to the rooms through a network of pathways.

The lodge is totally energy self-sufficient for electricity and water heating by using solar panels and will serve as an example of sustainable construction and planning not only in the region but in Namibia as a whole.

An Italian family, the Micheletti are the owners and managers, they will endeavour to ensure that the lodge will offer a special wilderness adventure as the accommodation blends in with the natural surroundings ensuring a unique experience while allowing for sensible and Eco-friendly tourism management.

The Tents

Nkasa Lupala tented lodge is situated on the Lupala island less than 300m from the Nkasa Lupala NP (Mamili NP) border and the fact that there is no fence will allow large mammals and other animals to roam freely in the vicinity of the lodge.

This will enhance the sense of remote wilderness and adventure for the guests who will also experience the unique for Namibia and Caprivi, Okavango Delta-like environment combining wetlands, woodlands and open plains.
