Namibia

Namibia is a vast land full of contrasts, from spectacular scenery and desolate beauty, to vibrant swamp-lands and dazzling wildlife. Kunene River Lodge is a Birders’ Paradise. The region hosts some endemic species, and several near-endemics, making it a very exciting area for bird enthusiasts to visit and explore, alone or with a guide.

Dawn is an ideal time to glimpse bird-life and at Kunene River Lodge we love to offer our Guests an early-morning Birding Cruise. Pete’s enthusiasm for birding led to the discovery of the first Cinderella Waxbill nest in the wild, and a number of rare bird sightings.

The following bird specials occur in the area:

• Cinderella Waxbill,
• Angola Cave Chat,
• Rufous-tailed Palmthrush,
• Bare-cheeked Babbler,
• Grey Kestrel,
• White-browed Coucal,
