Two well-established Namibian brands, one common vision: CYMOT and Gondwana Collection have teamed up to promote Namibia as a unique outdoor destination. The lodge group brings beautiful locations with exciting activities into this partnership while CYMOT provides the necessary equipment to make the outdoor experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. 

Zambezi Mubala Camp, the former Island View Lodge, is located under tall, shady trees on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, about 40 km east of Katima Mulilo. It is the first of the Gondwana Collection properties to offer Glamping (Glamourous Camping) as of 1 May 2018. 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience the heart of the Namib Desert from a bird’s perspective? As from 1 May 2018, the Namib Desert Lodge offers Powered Paragliding to its guests. The Gondwana Collection partnered with Wild Air Safaris to provide guests with an adventure of a lifetime. 

Imagine exploring the Fish River Canyon from as close as it gets, hiking in pristine nature with just a light backpack, dreaming at the campfire and falling asleep under a dazzling night sky... The new season’s first Canyon Klipspringer Trail is fully booked. On 20 April the 12 participants will make their way through the Fish River Canyon in the wilderness area north of the main viewing point.

Most Namibians, and also some of the visitors to our country, have had a painful encounter with the local bush police of the insect type. The large paper wasps are found in all the dry and arid parts of Namibia, i.e. the south and the central regions, but they are mainly active in summer. They grow to a length of just under two centimetres and know how to put up a fight.
