About this stay

Zambezi Mubala Campsite is located 40 kilometres east of Katima Mulilo under tall shady trees on the banks of the Zambezi in the far north-east of Namibia. In fishing circles, it is a favourite starting point for hooking tiger fish and many other spectacular catches.

For campers, the 10 campsites provide privacy and convenience, with private ablution blocks, power points, and barbeque facilities. Wood and barbecue packs are available on site. The eleven pitches are suitable for different group sizes and vehicle configurations and offer a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery. If you don't feel like cooking, there is an à la carte restaurant with a beautiful view of the river.

Guests are welcome to cool off in the cold-water swimming pool, let their children play at the playground and browse the souvenir shop. WiFi is available at the reception, as well as mobile connectivity and 24-hour security.

Apart from fishing adventures, Zambezi Mubala Campsite offers a variety of recreational activities. Join an early morning or sunset boat cruise on the river and marvel at the vibrant birdlife; or accompany a guide on a nature walk to discover the nearby Carmine bee-eater colony. A day trip to the Victoria Falls, 200 kilometres away, completes your Zambezi experience .

Good to know

  • The area is home to a variety of wildlife, and guests may encounter hippos, crocodiles, elephants, antelope, and numerous bird species, depending on the season and location.
  • Every designated campsite is equipped with its own dedicated electrical power point, outdoor light, built-in barbeque/braai facilities, and a private hot-water bathroom. The pitches are meticulously designed to handle varying group sizes and heavy 4x4 vehicle configurations.
  • Campers can purchase firewood bundles, ice blocks, and curated braai meat packs directly at the camp’s main reception desk. For extensive grocery re-stocking, it is recommended to shop in Katima Mulilo, 40 kilometres down the road.
  • The best time to visit Zambezi Mubala Campsite is during the dry season (May to October). Cooler temperatures, low humidity, and minimal rainfall create ideal conditions for outdoor activities, fishing, and wildlife viewing as animals gather near the river. The clear skies and pleasant weather enhance the overall camping experience.
