From Nunda River Lodge to Hakusembe Lodge

From Nunda River Lodge on pass through Divundu and then onto one of the straightest and most boring roads on our trip.  Next time I will definitely rather take the D3402 gravel road, which I am sure will result in a more adventurous road.  It may even turn into a positive adventure!Rundu is a town that shows a lot of growth and quite a few great, innovative young entrepreneurs like the ones who quickly found us a new window for the Hilux and also another group who quickly changed our flat wheels for new ones.Hakusembe turned out to be right on the Okavango River with Angola on the other side of the river.  We had some misgivings about the fact that there were also some Angolans living on the other side and we could not shake the memories of being freshly robbed at Nunda River Lodge and we were stressing about the possibility of a repeat of that experience.  Luckily nothing like that happened and we were glad to leave after two evenings at Hakusembe.

Hakusembe on the Okavango river.  Deck with nice view, cocktails, food river activities, like fishing for Tigerfish, mokoro trips, etc.  They also have very nice bungalows for those who are not into camping.

Every campsite has it own bathroom, dishwashing facility, campfire facility and sunsets!



Great sunset!



Being a low-lying area next to the Okavango, the grass is green reminding of a golf course.  Beautiful flowers and the roofs of the huts built by the locals in the distance.  A real peaceful scene!


Cattle belonging to the locals peacefully lying next to the road to Hakusembe.

Typical dwelling of a local family.
