African Monarch Lodges

African Monarch Lodges includes Nambwa Tented Lodge and Kazile Island Lodge, a collection which is owner-run and located in Bwabwata National Park in the Zambezi Region of Namibia, in the heart of KAZA, the World’s Largest Wildlife Conservation Area.

Nambwa Tented Lodge

Nambwa Tented Lodge is nestled high amongst majestic trees, honoring the elephants’ right of way below. An authentic walkway joins ten decadently spacious tented suites, which emanate a feeling of vastness and evoke a gentle balance of serenity.

Kazile Island Lodge

Kazile Island Lodge is situated on an exclusive island on the banks of the Kwando River. The Lodge offers thirteen Meru tents nestled within a Mangosteen forest. The tented rooms overlook the Kwando River as well as the expansive floodplains between the Island and the famous Horseshoe Bend. Kazile Island is a special paradise that can only be reached by boat. Our unquenchable desire to create memorable African experiences takes you on foot, by boat or vehicle, up close and personal with some of the biggest herds of elephants that traverse this continent. Nambwa and Kazile work as Joint Venture Partners with the Mayuni and Mashi Conservancies. Our focus is on promoting responsible and sustainable tourism.

The Sijwa Project

DREAM. CREATE. INSPIRE.

The Sijwa Project is a haven nestled in the raw beauty of the Zambezi wetlands. This island of hope began with a DREAM. A dream to re- purpose and re-invent all the recyclable waste from the African Monarch Lodges; Nambwa Tented Lodge and Kazile Island Lodge as well as from the local community and neighbouring lodges. The CREATION of exquisite saleable craft and jewellery pieces is an organic process that morphed out of the artisanal skills training centres where local community members are empowered. It is here where we create magic, magic that not only touches the lives of our people, but also enriches the souls of our guests and in turn preserves the environment.

A holistic balance exists and it’s tangible. It INSPIRES a culture of integration between conservation, community, culture and commerce.

We invite you to join us on this magical journey where dreams take flight, creations come to life, and inspiration knows no bounds.
