Facilities and activities:

The main complex built to incorporate two massive baobab trees, with swimming pool, lounge, dining and bar area, curio shop, small reference library and very spacious deck areas. Apart from luxurious accommodation, culinary delights, and a belief that guests should be able to choose how they spend their leisure time, a wide variety of activities are offered. It is our policy that all activities are professionally guided, and we have the expertise to cater for special interest visitors (e.g. birding / fishing). 

Fishing - A choice of fishing in the Zambezi, Chobe, Kasai or Kwando rivers as well as the Mambova rapids, and backwaters of the floodplains makes our island fishing opportunities magnificent. Fly fishing or traditional angling from either motorized boat or mokoro for a variety of African species is possible and. our guides are professional and very knowledgeable on the area.

We have fishing equipment at the lodges. Impalila is well known for its exciting tiger fishing. We have enough boats, vehicles and guides at our lodges that guests can structure their own time activity experience.

Our islands are an experience of sensory fulfillment. We offer excellent cuisine - al-fresco style in a variety of romantic settings under the baobab canopy - or perhaps a picnic on a wild island. Our chefs can cater for any special dietary requirements - guests just need to inform reservations in advance.  We offer a fully stocked bar and are proud of our comprehensive range of South African wines - rarely seen in such remote destinations! Our lodges romantically cater for special occasions such as honeymoons, anniversaries and birthdays. Guests are surprised with moonlight dinners on a river sandbank, a private candlelit dinner for 2 on your own deck or a champagne brunch at the historical baobab.
