The Camp is situated close to the banks of the Linyanti river and the fact that there is no fence will allow large mammals and other animals to roam freely in the vicinity of the Camp. This will enhance the sense of remote wilderness and adventure for the guests who will also experience the unique for Namibia and Caprivi, Okavango Delta like environment combining wetlands, woodlands, and open plains.

The Camp offers 4 exclusive luxury tents and 1 double guide tent. The rooms are equipped with side lamps, charging facility, in room bathroom, coffee/tea station, hot water and electricity are generated with solar power, offering a superb eco-friendly personalized safari experience. All rooms are made of customized large tents with average of 32.4 m, offering breathtaking views across the lagoons.

Jackalberry Lodge enjoys its prime location which make a perfect base for Park experience and exploration. The lodge is located on the Linyanti river lagoons where a large population of the park’s wildlife roams freely and could be spotted from the lodge decks through the floodplains of Namibia and woodlands of Botswana just across the river.

Activities from Jackalberry focus on day and night game drives in Nkasa Rupara National Park and boat trips along the Kwando-Linyanti river that separates Botswana and Namibia.

The guide during our stay was very knowledgeable and engaging. On our boat trip, besides the numerous hippos and crocodiles, and trees dripping in bee-eaters and cormorants, the real highlight was a herd of elephants. At a point where the river opened out and was flat calm, we watched as a herd of seven tentatively made its way across to Namibia. Set against a sky dappled with fluffy white clouds reflected perfectly in the glass-like water, this was a truly memorable sighting.
