Hakusembe Campsite, Caprivi | Namibia Tours & Safaris

Lush. Green. Tranquil. Hakusembe Campsite offers some of the best camping sites on the far western side of the Caprivi strip near Rundu. It’s quiet on the river bank of the Okavango River, beneath the trees. With only four sites in total, it’s private and all the camping facilities are private too.

Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

A great place to camp if you are heading from Waterberg or Etosha National Park to explore the wetlands of the Caprivi (or vice versa). Break up the driving distances before heading further into the Zambezi Region. The peaceful atmosphere on the banks of the river makes for a welcome stop over. Stay longer if you wish to relax, explore the water, go fishing, enjoy the myriad of birds or get to know the friendly Kavango people of the region.

Campers can make use of the lodge facilities and it’s just a stroll away. This means you have access to the wooden viewing deck to enjoy a sundowner cocktail or take a sunset cruise on the Hakusembe River Queen. There’s WiFi too (if you need to connect), a curio shop, restaurant, bar and a swimming pool. If you need laundry done, you can do that at the lodge too. Grand.

Set up camp. Relax. Sit and listen. In the background only the river and the chirps of birds. Enjoy a picnic and as night falls the open skies and tales around the fire. That has to be one of the greatest pleasures of camping, especially in a setting such as this. You’ll see.

Activities

A sunset boat cruise is a must along the river. You can book this with the lodge. Alternatively go early morning, a good option for the avid birders. Try your hand at fishing. It’s charged per hour, so here’s hoping you get lucky, if not, it’s still a win to spend time out on the water and well worth indulging in the quiet of nature. One of the main reasons to enjoy this place.
