Untouched Nkasa Rupara
Discover one of Namibia’s last great wilderness areas at Nkasa Plains Camp, set on its own private concession bordering the Nkasa Rupara National Park in the heart of the Zambezi Region. The camp looks out over wide open plains, with the park’s famous wetlands, channels and floodplains just a short drive away. Here, spacious elevated tents place you right at the edge of the wild.
NKASA PLAINS CAMP
Our sixteen spacious, elevated tents blend comfort with a genuine sense of the wild. Each raised tent opens onto a private wooden deck and features both an indoor and an outdoor shower, letting you feel close to nature without giving up any comfort. At the main house, a swimming pool with loungers and shaded seating looks out over the plains, while a bar overlooking a waterhole, two dining tents and a fire pit form the social heart of the camp.

EXPERIENCES
Nkasa Rupara National Park
From Nkasa Plains Camp, set out across a private concession bordering the Nkasa Rupara National Park — Namibia’s largest protected wetland. From the open plains around camp, drives lead into the park’s wetlands, wooded islands and channels in search of elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard, and a landscape few travellers ever see.

GAME DRIVE
A game drive at Nkasa Rupara is an intimate way to explore one of Namibia’s wildest corners. Cross floodplains, wooded islands and reed-lined channels in search of elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and the park’s remarkable antelope — red lechwe, reedbuck, and the rare puku. With a private concession and very few other vehicles, sightings are quiet and uncrowded.

NIGHT DRIVE
As darkness falls over the wetlands, a night drive reveals a different side of Nkasa Rupara. With a spotlight, look for nocturnal species rarely seen by day — civet, genet, honey badger, and the occasional leopard on the move. Night drives are possible here on the private concession in a way they are not within Namibia’s national park boundaries, making them a real highlight of a stay at the camp.

SAFARI WALK
A guided safari walk is one of the most immersive ways to experience the bush. Led by an experienced guide, you leave the vehicle behind and explore on foot — reading tracks and signs, learning the smaller details of the ecosystem, and encountering the wilderness at eye level. Walking safaris connect you to the landscape in a way that no drive can, and the quiet wetland setting of Nkasa Rupara makes them especially rewarding.
LOCATION
Nkasa Plains Camp
Nkasa Plains Camp sits on its own private concession directly bordering the Nkasa Rupara National Park, in Namibia’s Zambezi Region (the former Caprivi Strip). The camp itself overlooks open plains, while the park’s wetlands — shaped by the Kwando and Linyanti rivers and forming Namibia’s largest protected wetland — lie just within its boundaries. The private concession means exclusive access, few other vehicles, and the freedom to offer night drives and walking safaris alongside classic game drives.
