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!
