Namushasha River Villa – A Private Safari Sanctuary on the Kwando
For travellers seeking something beautifully different, the Namushasha River Villa offers an exclusive and unforgettable experience on the edge of Namibia’s remote northeastern wilderness. Floating gently on the banks of the Kwando River, this private retreat redefines intimacy and immersion—ideal for couples, friends, or families looking for a luxurious and tranquil base far from the crowds.
Location
Tucked away in the lush heart of the Zambezi Region near Bwabwata National Park, the Namushasha River Villa is reached by private boat from Namushasha River Lodge. The villa is perched over the water in one of Namibia’s most wildlife-rich and biologically diverse regions. With hippos grunting nearby and elephants crossing the river in the golden light of dusk, the setting is pure magic.
The Villa
This beautifully appointed two-bedroom villa is designed with comfort and seclusion in mind. Both bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and views over the Kwando River. A fully equipped kitchen, lounge area, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, and a broad wooden deck complete the picture—all yours to enjoy in total privacy. Whether you’re sipping a chilled drink on the veranda or watching the mist rise off the water at sunrise, every moment here feels like your own private safari.
Experiences
Guests have exclusive use of a guided game drive vehicle and river boat, making it easy to explore the surrounding wilderness at your own pace. The nearby Namushasha Heritage Centre offers a deep dive into local culture, while game drives and boat cruises provide encounters with elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, and a spectacular array of birdlife. Sundowners on the water are a daily ritual—one you’ll never forget.
Atmosphere & Style
With its thatched roof, natural textures, and stylish furnishings, the villa offers the perfect blend of safari elegance and homely charm. What truly sets it apart is its exclusivity: no other guests, no shared spaces—just you and the wild, with Gondwana’s signature care and hospitality always a call away.
