HOW TO GET THERE BY ROAD

From Livingstone, take the road to Sesheke via Kazungula, then cross the Zambezi over the new bridge between Sesheke and Katima Mulilo.

From Kazungula, Botswana, take the road through the Chobe National Park on the tar road for 80km, to Katima Mulilo, Namibia. Katima is the last stop for fuel before Senanga. After the border, follow the dirt road for a further 125km to reach the lodge.

From Mongu, Zambia, there is a 100km tar road to Senanga, which is not in good condition. This is the last opportunity for fuel before Livingstone or Katima Mulilo. 10km beyond Senanga is the ferry. This is the only viable route to Sioma from the North. If taking this route, suggest that you carry sufficient fuel.

Note:
A 4 x 4 vehicle is needed for the road from Katima Mulilo; the road is gravel and has not been maintained for a number of years. The 125km will take you approximately four to five hours depending on the type of vehicle used. It is a scenic route along the Zambezi River and is also the main route to Liuwa plains. As we are not as yet operating game drives to Ngwezi National park, information on the park is limited
