Susuwe Island Lodge is built to incorporate the riverine forest - the main complex has lofty canopy viewing decks overlooking endless savannahs, glistening lily-studded wetlands and ancient Kalahari woodlands, as well as a fire pit, spacious lounge and dining areas, curio shop and small reference library.

Six spacious brick and thatch suites equipped with double bathroom, bedroom, lounge and wooden viewing deck each with private plunge pool offer our visitors the opportunity to merge unhurriedly with Africa's timeless evolution of hazy days and star-studded nights. Mosquito nets, overhead fans and hairdryers as well as generated electricity are provided.

Susuwe game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles are offered in the Bwabwata National Park. Game sightings in this cradle of rivers could include vast herds of roaming elephant and buffalo, lion, hippo, leopard, sable, roan, lechwe and puku for example. Night drives at Susuwe offer an even closer insight into the intrigue of the African bush. Outstanding bird watching in this area in a variety of riverine, floodplain and grassland habitats. Boating, nature walks and picnics or infinite relaxation in the cool respite of Susuwe Island Lodge are all possible. Susuwe Island Lodge overlooks the winding and intimate Kwando river, which meanders through the game-filled savannah of the Bwabwata National Park. Here the narrow channels of the Kwando, asks more of the angler’s presentation but the silver tigers are there hiding within subtle backwaters. Some Kwando river species include Tiger fish, African pike, Threespot tilapia, Redbreast tilapia, Pink happie, Humpback largemouth, Thinface largemouth, Nembwe, Brownspot largemouth, Sharptooth catfish, Blunttooth catfish and Silver barbel.

Regional tourism is dependant on the diversity and abundance of game and the area within the Cradle has much to offer. Susuwe Island lodge, surrounded by the sinuous Kwando, offers intense game viewing within the Bwabwata National Park for large migrant herds of elephant and buffalo, leopard, sable and roan antelope, tsessebe, lechwe, lion, hyena, wild dog and more. Indeed, the volume of elephants to be seen on the Linyanti River at the southern point of the Mudumu National Park rivals that of Chobe and lion, buffalo and hippo often spotted, while in the more swampy areas, there is always a chance of the rare sitatunga. The fauna and flora of the area is protected in three distinct national parks within the region - the Bwabwata, Mudumu and Mamili National Parks.
