Caprivi Houseboat Safari Lodge, Namibia
Located in Katima Mulilo, the largest city in the Caprivi Strip, we stopped at the Caprivi Houseboat Lodge on our way to the Zambian border. As you enter the Lodge, it feels like you’re moving through a jungle. Towering trees with dense canopies, thick vines in various shades of green, and large-leafed bushes block out much of the sunlight along the path.
The reception was the perfect place to rest and soak in the beauty of the Zambezi River. From here, you can easily spot crocodiles and hippos lounging near the banks.



Tall straw stalks marked the boundaries of individual campsites at Caprivi Houseboat Safari Lodge, creating privacy. The sites were basic and equipped with a fire pit, power, and a wash sink. The camp provided firewood, and communal ablution facilities with hot water on demand were available. Wi-Fi was available at reception and reached the site.
