River Cruises at Impalila Island Lodge
Our island locations offer access to Africa's most hidden river treasures.
Impalila Island Lodge, situated at the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe rivers, provides access to 120km's of Zambezi river - inhabited only by amazing bird and fishlife and the odd traditional fishing village of the timeless Lozi people.
The Chobe river cruises reward guests with stunning big game viewing and excellent fishing and birding opportunities, and the Kasai canal which links these two major rivers provides its own unique winding ecosystem. We operate a variety of motorized watercraft - with enough flexibility to enforce our ethos that our guests can choose how they spend their time with us.
Traditionally, the mokoro (dugout canoe) - has been and still is the main means of transportation for the local Lozi people of Impalila Island.
The rivers and backwaters surrounding Impalila Island provide the ideal environment for this activity. Silently gliding mokoros provide an excellent opportunity for birdwatching and relaxing whilst accessing otherwise inaccessible waterways. No experience can be more closely and sublimely African, than being propelled effortlessly on an ancient craft of the rivers.
During low water season, guests can travel by mokoro down the Mambova rapids - our own rafting experience - and stop off to explore one of the smaller wild islands in the Zambezi.
