What To Do at Impalila Island Lodge
Activities provided by the lodge or provided nearby, nearby tourist attractions, places to visit and things to see.
Day trips to Victoria Falls by charter, including a “Flight of the Angels”, can be arranged. Road transfers can be organised to see the Falls from either the Zambia or Zimbabwe side.
The eastern tip of the Caprivi Strip is a veritable bird watchers' paradise and few guests fail to be impressed by the variety of bird life that greet one almost incidentally from dawn to dusk - the call of the Heuglin's robin at morning coffee, the Yellow-bellied bul-buls at breakfast and the sight of evening flights of the Yellow-billed storks to their nesting places on the Chobe.
A highlight of any stay at Impalila lodge is a game cruise - or two - into the famous Chobe National Park. Depending on the time of the year, our staff will advise on the prime time to take a cruise, though it is usually best to consider mid-afternoon when the game comes down to drinking.
Impalila Island has a varied flora but is rich in history and the guided walks around the island offer a closer insight into the background of the area as well as the life of the local people. These morning or afternoon walks may also include a visit to a 2000 year-old baobab tree on the island. From its lofty heights all four surrounding countries (Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia) can be viewed as well as the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers.
No matter whether you have spent your day fishing for tigers, enjoying a wonderful variety of bird life, seen the elephants grazing on the bank behind you or simply relaxed by the pool, there is little to beat a quiet sunset cruise up the Zambezi past the village of Kalikaliga and to take time to reflect on yet another unbeatable African sunset - and an unforgettable Impalila visit.
