Rent holiday accommodation in Kavango – river landscape and choice of location

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Kavango can first base their accommodation search on the regional focus. Kavango combines wetlands, grassland, rivers and green park landscapes at a regional level – a greener river region of Namibia.

River landscape and water-based experiences

Water-related experiences in the Kavango and neighbouring river region include boat trips and sunset river cruises. If this focus on nature and water suits your trip, define it before searching for accommodation and align your selection with a suitable regional starting point.

Rundu or Divundu as reference points

Rundu is an urban-oriented reference point on the Okavango and the B8. Divundu is a smaller town located farther east on the same main road and lies opposite Bwabwata National Park. When searching for accommodation, the choice can therefore initially be based on the character of the town and the direction of travel.

Culture in the wider surroundings of Rundu

In the wider surroundings of Rundu, the Mbunza Living Museum provides insights into traditional activities such as fishing, cooking, basket weaving, pottery and blacksmithing. The museum combines the presentation of traditional culture with intercultural exchange and local value creation. Those wishing to combine culture and river landscapes can consider the Rundu area as a starting point for visiting the museum when searching for accommodation.

Choose accommodation according to your travel focus

In Kavango, the search – whether for a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel – can first be organised according to the desired regional focus and then according to the features that matter for your trip. For a nature- and water-oriented stay, the regional focus should be established before searching for accommodation; for culture combined with the river landscape, the Rundu area provides a logical reference point.

For further regional orientation, you can also open Bagani, Mahango and Ndiyona.

Start with the type of trip you are looking for: river landscapes and water-based experiences, or culture in the Rundu area as well. You can then continue your search according to the regional focus and for a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel. For an overarching travel overview of Namibia, you can use the country overview.
