Attractions
Lebala means wide open spaces in Setswana and
the scenery is dominated by vast plains with scattered
palms and tree clumps backed by wooded savannas.
The perennial and southerly flowing Kwando river
disappears into the vast marshes before emerging
as the Linyanti river, flowing in a north easterly
direction. The triangle formed in Namibia by this
direction change is home to the Mamili National
Park.
Facilities
The eight spacious tents are unique and were designed
specifically for this camp. Each one is built
on a raised teak deck, laid out with maximum comfort
and privacy in mind. The tents have an entrance
foyer with a reading and writing area, en-suite
bathrooms with Victorian clawfoot bathtubs, "his
and hers" washbasins and flush toilets. The
bathrooms lead out to a reed enclosed open-air
shower with hot and cold running water. Each secluded
tent has its own sundeck, and is set back among
the trees. The endless vistas from the large windows
and decks across the vast plains, make Lebala
one of the finest wilderness camps in Africa.
Mouth-watering fare is prepared by our chefs and
served in the open-sided dining room. After dinner
there is a wonderful camp fire around which to
sip a coffee or enjoy a nightcap. As you drift
off to sleep, you will often hear hippo grazing
out of water near your tent. In the warmer months,
feel free to take a refreshing swim in the Lebala
pool!
