Lebala Camp Ngamiland |
Lebala means wide open spaces in Setswana and the scenery
is dominated by vast plains with scattered palms and tree clumps backed by
wooded savannas. This wild expanse is contrasted with the casual elegance and
luxury of the camp itself. Lebala Camp is situated 30 kilometers to the south
of Lagoon Camp and fronts onto the Linyanti Wetlands. Open grasslands
scattered with Illala Palms stretch to the south and west of Lebala. The
perennial and southerly flowing Kwando river disappears into the vast marshes
before emerging as the Linyanti river, flowing in a north easterly direction.
The triangle formed in Namibia by this direction change is home to the Mamili
National Park.
The eight spacious tents are unique and were designed by us specifically for
this camp. Each one is built on a raised teak deck, laid out with maximum
comfort and privacy in mind. The tents have an entrance foyer with a reading
and writing area, en-suite bathrooms with Victorian clawfoot bathtubs, "his
and hers" washbasins and flush toilets. The bathrooms lead out to a reed
enclosed open-air shower with hot and cold running water, powered by LP gas
for hot water on demand. Each secluded tent has its own sundeck, and is set
back among the trees. The endless vistas from the large windows and decks
across the vast plains, make Lebala one of the finest wilderness camps in
Africa. The wetlands and flood plains around Lebala offer a wonderful variety
of wildlife with excellent sightings of elephant, hippo, lechwe, zebra,
giraffe, impala, wildebeest, kudu, tsessebe, roan, sable, buffalo and the ever
present predators; wild dog, lion, cheetah and hyena.
After dark, spotlights are switched on and the game drives expose our guests
to nocturnal sightings of rare and elusive species such as, leopard, Selous
Mongoose, small spotted genet, and aardwolf, to name a few. Nocturnal bird
species that are encountered include Natal Nightjar, Pennantwinged Nightjar
and a large variety of owls. Mouth-watering fare is prepared by our chefs and
served in the open-sided dining room. After dinner there is a wonderful camp
fire around which to sip a coffee or enjoy a nightcap. As you drift off to
sleep, you will often hear hippo grazing out of water near your tent. In the
warmer months, feel free to take a refreshing swim in the Lebala pool! Lebala
has a staff complement of 22 to cater to our guests. The camp balances
understated elegance with untamed Africa to perfection.
