Built around a huge jackalberry tree, the three-tiered treehouse-like main area houses the reception, dining deck and bar; a lounge with sweeping views across the floodplains and mopani forests; and a boma on the ground floor – an atmospheric setting for wildlife stories told over a roaring fire, G&T in hand, while you gaze up at the starlit sky.
Leading off the main area, you’ll find four solar-powered canvas tents, sitting at an elevated angle just across the Linyanti River from Botswana. Each features spacious canvas-covered decks and simple but well-equipped facilities. With no fence in sight, animals can roam freely, putting you in the heart of the wildlife action – with elephants known to come and nibble on the big trees surrounding the camp.
During rainy season, Nkasa Rupara turns into Namibia’s equivalent of the Okavango Delta – resulting in mesmerising wildlife encounters. Forested islands are home to some of the country’s most spectacular birdlife, with more than 430 recorded species waiting to be spotted. Early morning and late afternoon game drives let you explore this wonderfully remote part of the country, while night drives offer the opportunity to catch predators on the prowl. For up-close encounters with hippos and crocs, try a boat cruise on the Linyanti.
