Company info

Where the Namib Desert stretches languidly from the Atlantic Ocean and wild land extends into infinity, dreams become real. At this place where fantasy meets reality, you'll find the Gondwana Collection safely positioned. Take our outstretched hand and let us introduce you to our extraordinary country, Namibia. From the massive chasms of the Fish River Canyon, the fossilised dunes of the Namib Desert and the red sands of the Kalahari Desert to the waterways of the Kavango and Zambezi, there are countless marvels to behold. Explore this awe-inspiring wilderness from the warmth of our lodges, created with conservation cognizance and ample character. And return to relax after an exciting day of discovery. This is the Gondwana feeling: Namibia with heart and soul. There are fourteen ways to describe the dream: Fourteen Gondwana lodges. And a fifteenth - Wonderful! Let's realize this dazzling dream together.

Property info

Anchored in its very own, private channel of the Kwando River, the River Villa offers her guests the opportunity to experience the Bwabwata National Park in a private and intimate setting. The Namushasha River Villa caters to two guests, ideal for a couple’s retreat. This unique package includes a transfer from the Namushasha River Lodge to the Villa, where the lodge is always accessible via radio. Guests have the opportunity to enjoy a private game drive and meal in the Bwabwata National Park, followed by an evening of luxury on the River Villa. This spectacular experience is all inclusive.

Neighborhood info

The lure of wild Africa is felt as you drive into the north-eastern corner of Namibia. Once called the Caprivi Strip and later the Caprivi region before claiming its full African heritage, the Zambezi region is a step into the heart of the continent. A tree-filled expanse dotted with villages and elephant caution signs welcome you. Unusually, this corridor containing the Bwabwata National Park is a protected home to both wildlife and people, ushering in a concept of coexistence, stewardship and synergy. Two smaller national parks, the Mudumu and Nkasa Rupara, lie along the Kwando waterway that becomes the Linyanti and Chobe rivers as it flows eastwards. This is also where you'll find Namushasha River Lodge, a thatch-roofed Zambezi kingdom elegantly positioned under trees, looking out onto reeds and the Kwando River. It is a wilderness haven where the lethargic sound of hippos grunting floats through the air intermingling with birdsong. Every part of the day has its own magic here, whether strolling to the traditional heritage centre to laugh with the Mafwe and learn about the Caprivian way of life, taking a midday siesta or joining a boat cruise along the waterways.
