Nambwa, 14km south of Kongola, is one of the very few places to stay in the park itself. It combines an excellent campsite with a luxury lodge, replete with elevated walkways, stunning interiors (tree trunks and antique chandeliers, anyone?) and glorious views out over the flood plains. Some of Bwabwata's best wildlife areas are close by, and the lodge overlooks a water hole that's especially popular with animals late in the dry season.
Elephants are perhaps the most frequent visitors. To reach the lodge, follow the 4WD track south along the western bank of the Kwando River. Transfers can be arranged from Kongola and elsewhere.
