Namibia: Caprivi Mutoya Lodge has had an upgrade - Spa & Conference

Caprivi Mutoya Lodge - Spa & Conference

News

Caprivi Mutoya Lodge has had an upgrade!

We couldn't wait any longer to share some amazing news with our esteemed clients. We are thrilled to announce that we have upgraded all of our luxury tents to ensure that every room has the same top-notch facilities. This includes the addition of air conditioners, which will provide our guests with ultimate comfort and relaxation during their stay.

In addition, we have also improved our internet and Wi-Fi services throughout the entire property, including the bar and deck areas. This means that our guests will have access to faster and more reliable internet, making their stay even more enjoyable. For those looking to use our conference facilities, the Wi-Fi will no longer be a concern.

Spa & Conferences

As well as our unique workshop/conference pavilion, Caprivi Mutoya Lodge has added a brand new spa (opening June 2024). These hidden gems in the heart of nature are surrounded by ancient indigenous trees, making these venues a peaceful and inspiring location. Located just a short 20-minute drive from Katima Mulilo, guests can easily access the lodge for their spa treatments, meetings, workshops, or social events.

The pavilion can accommodate up to 30 people and is equipped with air-conditioners and fans to combat the scorching African summers. With open-air windows and canvas blinds, guests can enjoy the beautiful surroundings while staying cool.

Delicious meals and snacks are provided at the main lodge's bar and restaurant deck, which is just a short walk from the spa and the conference pavilion. And to top it off, guests can end their day with a relaxing sunset cruise on a pontoon boat, where they can spot crocodiles and hippos in their natural habitat.

Our added facilities truly offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

Birding in the Zambezi Region of Namibia

Birding in the Zambezi Region is an unforgettable experience that should be on every birdwatcher's bucket list. With an impressive list of up to 450 different species, this small part of Namibia is a must-visit for any birding enthusiast. The best time to spot some of the region's unique birds is during a sunset boat cruise, where you can witness the majestic African Fish Eagle in action, along with other rare species such as the African Hobby and Bat Hawk. As a new activity, we offer birding trips into the floodplains in our recently revamped game viewer.

The lodge is also home to the beautiful Schalow's Turaco, which can often be seen and heard in the surrounding trees. For photographers, a mere 15 km away lies the largest Carmine Bee-Eater colony in Southern Africa, which attracts visitors from all over the world during the breeding season. From the end of August until the beginning of November, you can witness these stunning birds in all their glory, making birding in the Zambezi Region an absolute treat that cannot be missed.

Village Walking Tours

Guests can embark on an enriching journey to Libula Village, mere steps from our lodge. They can immerse themselves in the vibrant local community, engaging with residents and experiencing authentic African traditions firsthand. Contribute to the well-being of the villagers as you participate in cultural exchanges and gain insights into their way of life. Discover the warmth and hospitality of rural Africa on our unforgettable village tours.
