Tucked away in Namibia’s far northeast, Simanya River Lodge offers a rare blend of luxury, culture, and nature on the lush banks of the Kavango River. Just 13km from Nkurenkuru and an easy six-hour drive from Windhoek along the scenic B15 route, Simanya is the only upmarket lodge within a 130km radius—an exclusive riverside escape in a region still largely undiscovered.

Each suite and villa faces the water, offering uninterrupted views of the river and a front-row seat to both sunrise serenity and golden-hour magic. The Fancy Fisherman, Simanya’s signature pub, sets the tone for relaxed, fireside dining and legendary sundowners.

From tranquil river cruises and guided fishing trips to authentic village tours and curated events, every experience is thoughtfully tailored. The lodge also offers 10 private campsites with grassed areas, ablutions, and a well-stocked supply store.

As the sister lodge to Droombos, Simanya ensures seamless hospitality—from flight bookings to cross-border travel support. Whether you’re seeking stillness, connection, or adventure, Simanya delivers with quiet elegance.

Here, on the edge of Namibia’s untamed north, the river isn’t just a view—it’s a way of life, flowing through every experience with grace and meanin
