Experiences
Set on the banks of the mighty Okavango, Divava is a gateway to the wild heart of the Caprivi. Drift past hippos and crocodiles on a boat safari, cast a line for the fierce tigerfish, or soar over the delta on a doors-off helicopter flight. Spot four of the Big Five in the parks nearby, share in the traditions of a Kavango village, or simply unwind to the sound of the Popa Falls as the sun sets over the water.
WHERE THE RIVER COMES ALIVE
OKAVANGO BOAT SAFARI
Glide down the Okavango aboard our boat cruises and discover a waterway alive with hippos, crocodiles and an extraordinary variety of birdlife. Your guide shares the secrets of the river and the wildlife along its banks. As the day softens, drift upstream to the Popa Falls and settle in with refreshments as the sun sinks below the water.
WHERE THE WILD ROAMS CLOSE
MAHANGO GAME DRIVE
Just 10 minutes from the lodge, this biodiverse park offers exceptional wildlife encounters. Narrow roads wind through floodplains and mopane woodlands where elephants, buffalo, lions and leopards roam freely.
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
BWABWATA / BUFFALO GAME DRIVE
Venture deeper into untouched wilderness along remote tracks that flood seasonally, creating a sense of private exploration and remarkable wildlife sightings in one of Namibia's hidden gems.
A DAY ON THE WATER
FISHING
Spend a few hours on the mighty Okavango in pursuit of some of the world's most prized freshwater species. Cast for the fierce tigerfish, or reel in tilapia and catfish as the river drifts by. A relaxed and rewarding way to experience the water, whether you are a seasoned angler or trying your hand for the first time.
THE SOUND OF THE FALLS
POPA FALLS
Though modest in scale, the Popa Falls set a beautiful stage for sundowner boat cruises and island dinners on the river. Just a few hundred metres from the lodge, the gentle rush of the water becomes the perfect soundtrack, whether you are unwinding in the Spa or savouring a meal at our Restaurant.
THE DELTA FROM ABOVE
OKAVANGO HELICOPTER EXPERIENCE
Soar over the untouched beauty of the Okavango Delta on our doors-off scenic helicopter flights, departing from our heliport just 70km south of the Mohembo border. Below you stretch the wettest and most permanent reaches of the delta, where deep channels wind through thick papyrus and reed beds. Watch hippos and crocodiles rule the waterways, elephants crossing the marshes between islands, and red lechwe grazing the dry ground amid the wetlands.
MEET THE KAVANGO PEOPLE
VILLAGE TOUR
Experience genuine Kavango hospitality as locals share their daily lives, traditional customs and time-honoured crafts. Gain insight into how they grow crops, prepare food and maintain cultural traditions passed down through generations.
