Sharwimbo River Camp
Selfcatering accommodation and camping in the Caprivi
Sharwimbo River Camp is situated in the Mashi Conservancy in Namibia's Zambezi Region, approximately 30 km south of Kongola on the banks of the Kwando River. Set on an elevated river terrace, this small, nature-oriented camp enjoys sweeping views across the river, papyrus wetlands and seasonal floodplains. The surrounding landscape is one of Namibia's most biodiverse areas and forms part of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), an internationally significant cross-border conservation region.

Accommodation at Sharwimbo River Camp
Accommodation consists of 15 spacious en-suite tented chalets. Each self-catering chalet is equipped with a kitchen or kitchenette and features a private veranda overlooking the Kwando River. The camp also offers five shaded campsites, each with its own cooking area, 12-volt solar power and access to shared ablution facilities with hot-water showers. Communal facilities include a swimming pool for cooling off on warm days, as well as open lounge areas with beautiful views of the river.
Activities and tours at Sharwimbo River Camp
Located along a traditional elephant migration route between Botswana and Angola, the camp regularly offers sightings of large elephant herds, particularly during the dry season. The traditional village of Lizauli is just a short walk away, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience the local culture. Additional activities include boat cruises and scenic sunset cruises on the Kwando River, where hippos, crocodiles and a wide variety of waterbirds are frequently encountered. With more than 350 recorded bird species, the region is regarded as one of Namibia's premier birdwatching destinations. Game drives to nearby protected areas, including Mudumu National Park, offer opportunities to see elephants, buffalo, antelope and, with a little luck, predators in their natural habitat.
