Nunda River Lodge at the Okavango River in the Caprivi Strip offers fantastic birding.

Over quite some time already, the lodge invests in the garden birds. To attract garden birds, the lodge transformed ist garden into a birdlife haven by offering water, food, shrubs and a dead tree.

Nunda River Lodge is also involved in the Kavango Open Africa Route, HELP SAVE and PROTECT project to save animals such as the endangered African Skimmer and Grey-headed Parrot.

For these reasons bird conservation and tourism (BirdsConTour) found it necessary to reward the Nunda River Lodge with a three penguin-rated Bird & Birder Friendly Award.
