A new camp has opened its doors on Nkasa Island in the Linyanti River wetlands. Matching its location, it is called Nkasa Linyanti. The island is located in Nkasa-Rupara National Park in the Zambezi Region in northeastern Namibia.
The camp consists of just six tented chalets with double bed or twin bed rooms and bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers. There is also a main tent with a dining area and lounge, and a swimming pool. Guests have 24-hour Wi-Fi and electricity.
The camp offers its guests mokoro (dugout canoe) trips, walking safaris as well as day and night game drives. Nkasa Linyanti emphasises its sustainable operation. Electricity and heat are generated entirely from solar energy. There is also a comprehensive waste management system.
The wetlands of the Linyanti River are reminiscent of the famous Okavango Delta in neighboring Botswana. They form the greatest possible contrast to the dry bushveld or even desert for which Namibia is generally known.
The Nkasa-Rupara National Park covers 300 km² and serves as a corridor for migrating elephants, is home to buffalo herds, and protects wetlands. It lies within the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA).
KAZA connects Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. The area is known for its diverse flora and fauna. Spanning roughly 520,000 square kilometres, KAZA TFCA is the world's largest land-based conservation area.
