Bumhill Camp Site Caprivi Closed for an indefinite period |
Bumhill Camp Site, built according to ecologically
sustainable principles, is situated on the banks of the Kwando River in
BwaBwata National Park (previously Caprivi Game Reserve). In Bumhill you can
enjoy an abundance of exciting wildlife: especially Hippo and Elephant roam
the surroundings of the campsite. You can also go on day-trips into BwaBwata
National Park. Bumhill offers three standard camping sites with separate braai
areas. The ablution and kitchen block is shared by the sites. Please note that
there is no electricity. Water is available for purposes of hygiene. As it is
not suitable for drinking you are advised to bring your own supply. There are
also three exclusive sites with en-suite facilities (toilet, washbasin and hot
shower) and a private braai area. Each of these sites sports a 3-m-high deck
which overlooks the river.
Bumhill and another camping site in the vicinity, Nambwa, are the result of a
unique agreement between the Ministry of Environment and Tourism and the
communities adjacent to BwaBwata National Park. For the first time in Namibian
history local communities have been permitted to develop and manage two
campsites in a National Park on the basis of their respective conservancy
structures. Conservancy management is in charge of wildlife in the communal
areas bordering on the park. The management is also responsible for ensuring
that income derived from the campsite is used for conservation and for the
benefit of the local communities.
To emphasize the significance of these developments, Bumhill has been set up
in such a way that design and ecologically sustainable building combine into a
unique product which will guarantee a memorable experience. Bumhill and Nambwa
are the exciting result of a combined effort of the Ministry of Environment
and Tourism, Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation (IRDNC),
Nacobta and two conservancies. With both these new campsites a true asset has
been developed for Namibia's tourism sector.
Bumhill Camp is located on the banks of the Kwando River, 2 km west of Kongola.
How to get there: Travelling on the Trans-Caprivi Highway (B8) from Kongola towards Bwabwata National Park you arrive at the turn-off to Bumhill just 300 metres after passing the park's eastern gate. Bumhill is close to the main road and very well accessible without four-wheel drive.
Booking fee applicable (once-off).
