African Monarch Lodges
African Monarch Lodges, encompassing Nambwa Tented Lodge, Kazile Island Lodge and Nambwa Campsite stand as the exclusive accommodations nestled within Namibia's Bwabwata National Park, situated in the Zambezi Region (formerly Caprivi Strip), and part of KAZA.
An Okavango Delta experience at Namibian dollar prices, and don’t forget, we are a great addition to itineraries that include Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana.
We are also home to The Sijwa Project, a community-based project where community members whom we trained, recycle waste into artisanal crafts. As joint venture lodges we serve as custodians of some of Africa’s last pristine wilderness and wildlife, while contributing 12% of our revenue, before expenses and tax is deducted, to the Mayuni and Mashi Conservancies each month. Guests’ stays directly supports these communities.
