When you select to stay at Susuwe Island Lodge, you are choosing a luxury safari experience that cannot be rivalled. This exclusive accommodation venue is set on a wild and untouched island in the remote Kwando River. You will stay amongst the Riverine forest with views over the endless savannahs, lily-studded wetlands and ancient Kalahari woodlands.
Even bathing is a luxury experience…The luxury suites all overlook the Kwando River and to make sure that you never miss out on the chance to revel in the view even the bathtubs are built to window height! Relax in the private plunge pools or on the wooden viewing decks at the main lodge. The main complex comprises a series of multi-level decks in the shade of Leadwood and Mangosteen trees and incorporates a central firepit where you will gather at the end of the day to swap stories and relax.
And the stories of your day’s excursions will be almost fantastical because of the vast herds of elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and buck that inhabit the area. Guided nature and Afro-Botanical walks offer insight into the traditional medicinal uses of plants and trees and cultural excursions to the local villages are also encouraged.
Drift down the river in a pontoon for some lazy bird watching; sunset cruises, night drives and guided walks can also be organized. Meals are served in a variety of beautiful venues – underneath the centuries old Baobab tree, on the riverbanks or you can arrange for a private moonlit picnic on your personal deck.
To preserve the exclusivity and high quality of service, this luxury lodge has limited the amount of guests and children under the age of 13 years are not allowed at Susuwe Island Lodge.
Susuwe Island Lodge offers you, the discerning visitor, an unrivalled luxury African experience.
Choose from one of the six spacious brick and thatch suites looking over the Kwando River; all of them have double bathrooms, lounges and a wooden viewing deck. Each luxury room has its own private plunge pool you can use to cool off in the day or stargaze from at night. Facilities in these upmarket suites include mosquito nets, overhead fans and hairdryers. Electricity is provided through generators.
Gather in the main complex for meals and relax in the lounge or around the central firepit.
