The campsite is in Mudumu National Park. The surroundings are completely wild and you need to bring everything you need with you.

Why you'll love it here

  • Elephants visit the camp very often, so you can watch them from close by.
  • Enjoy the view of the water from the camp.
  • Spend the night in the wilderness with lions roaring in the dark.

Your accommodation

The Nakatwa Campsite has three pitches and one overflow pitch, all of which are right on the Kwando.

There is no infrastructure at all, so you have to bring everything you need. There are no showers and no water. There is only a long-drop toilet at the campsite, and it is not maintained.

The track to the campsites is very sandy, so you definitely need a 4x4 vehicle. In the dry season there are often many elephants around, which can block the track for quite a long time.

Campsite #1 is reached via a small access track and is right on the river. It is the closest pitch to a ranger station (about 400 m), although you cannot see it from the campsite. If you feel a bit unsure, this campsite can be a good option.

Campsite #2 is also right on the river and is very shady.

Campsite #3 offers wide, beautiful views over the Kwando. For many campers this is the nicest of the three pitches.

There is also an overflow campsite, which also has a lovely view and is in an open position.

Nights at Nakatwa Campsite can be booked at the park entrance in the ranger office. Advance reservations are not possible, but because the park has few visitors this is usually not a problem.
