Impalila Island lodge is situated in the Caprivi Strip of Namibia, at the furthest north-eastern end. Impalila Island Lodge is 69km (43 miles) from Victoria Falls at the Zimbabwe / Zambian border, a half an hour boat ride from Kasane (in Botswana) or a short charter flight onto the island.
Due to its position, Impalila Island Lodge is easily accessed from Botswana and a speedboat will collect you at Kasane - the entry town to Botswana's Chobe National Park - and take you on a scenic half hour boat ride along the Chobe River and into the Zambezi River. The Impalila Island Lodge is secretly hidden at the top of a small rapid on an island large enough to contain a number of small villages.
This boat trip is a wonderful introduction to the beauty and lushness of the area, and you will pass flocks of unusual open-billed Storks, several Crocodiles and a few jumping fish before you reach the Impalila Island Lodge.
