The unique Impalila Island is situated at the meeting place of 2 mighty African rivers, the Chobe and Zambezi, and is the only place in the world where 4 countries also meet - Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
Impalila Island forms the north-eastern tip of Namibia and lies just 70 km west of Victoria Falls. The surrounding area is an amazing mosaic of waterways, floodplains and bushveld - all host to exceptional birdlife, game viewing and assorted vegetation - not to mention outstanding fishing opportunities.
Game viewing by boat in the Chobe National Park for Africa's big game takes place during the mid-afternoon to sunset when game comes down to the waters edge to drink.
The Chobe is just a short distance away and one of the attractions is to take a late afternoon cruise into the Kasai channel and from there into the Chobe - renown for vast elephant herds, buffalo, lion, hippo, the rare Chobe bushbuck and puku.
Silently gliding mokoros provide an excellent opportunity for birdwatching and relaxing whilst accessing otherwise inaccessible waterways. No experience can be more closely and sublimely African, than being propelled effortlessly on an ancient craft of the rivers.
Impalila Island Lodge is a 16-bedded luxury lodge with much to offer discerning clients. The main guest areas include a swimming pool, bar, curio shop, reference library, lounge and dining area all built under the canopy of an ancient baobab.
