You could wait a lifetime to experience a truly wild and untouched island of Africa but Susuwe Island Lodge offers just this. It is remotely situated next to the Kwando River – a permanent water source which nourishes delicate ecosystems and sustains varied game and bird life.
Susuwe Island Lodge was built to incorporate the riverine forest and the main complex has viewing decks overlooking endless savannas, glistening lily-studded wetlands and ancient Kalahari woodlands. There is a fire-pit, spacious lounge areas and curio shop. Relaxation, privacy and comfort are paramount at Susuwe. Fresh al fresco cuisine tempts the most jaded pallet and any dietary requirements are catered for. Six spacious suites are equipped with double bathroom, bedroom, lounge and wooden platform with private plunge pool, offering guests the opportunity to merge unhurriedly with Africa’s timeless evolution of hazy days and star-studded nights.
Game-drives in open 4x4 vehicles within the Bwabwata National Park may be rewarded with special sightings of vast herds of roaming elephant and buffalo, lechwe, lion and leopard. A river cruise is preferable at sunset or sunrise and guided walks and night drives offer an even closer insight into the intrigue of the African bush. Picnics in wild and uncharted territory are always a surprise. You will leave achingly wanting to return; knowing that your visit has contributed to the Lodge’s various conservation and community projects.
