Tambuti is a small Lodge located near Rundu town, beautifully perched above the Kavango River overlooking the floodplain. We are one of the rare lodges looking at the river without getting wet feet, thus we are also open during the flood season, all year round.
We are part of the FOUR RIVERS ROUTE linking the north western Omulunga palm route and Etosha to the water ecosystems leading to the eastern Kavango Okavango pan handle in Namibia and the Okavango delta in Botswana as well as the Zambezi wetland paradise and Livingstone with the mighty Victoria Falls.
Conveniently located on the small road leading down to the river from the center of Rundu town (400m from most Banks and shops).
Tambuti is the ideal stop over before heading to the deeper Kavango and Zambezi (former Caprivi) wild bush the unique KAZA area (Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area).
Rooms
We have a Small restaurant specializing in local traditional African cuisine and drinks sourcing local ingredients. This gives the lodge guests the opportunity to explore local flavors, add value to local products, and support the local communities providing the ingredients while considerably reducing the food miles. (pre-booking of dinners recommended).
A small CONFERENCE ROOM takes care of your business amenities, ideal for small workshops.
Sun set cruises can be organized in advance in partnership with the Samsitu camp 15km outside Rundu located directly in the Kavango floodplain. See Rates page. (Departure 16.00hrs local winter/17.00hrs local summer times)
Tambuti is encouraging self drive tours to the nearby living museum which can be combined with the above sun-set cruise or on its own.
We have a Swimming pool available to guests. Kayaks are available for self-exploring the floodplain.
A laundry service is available at an affordable price, (by prior arrangement with the staff).
On-site secure parking.
The B8 is the main artery on which people arrive and depart, though it
actually skirts the town of Rundu.
