Set on the banks of the Kwando River in Mudumu National Park, Lianshulu has earned the reputation as the finest lodge in the eastern Caprivi. The Caprivi is a narrow strip of Namibian land running between Botswana in the south, and Angola and Zambia in the north. A network of rivers and a fairly high summer rainfall have created a lush wilderness of riverine forest, marshes and open woodland. Mudumu and the nearby Mamile National Park boast good numbers of hippo, elephant, red lechwe and other wildlife. Time at Lianshulu is divided between nature drives in open vehicles, boating, drifting down the Kwando River on a double decker pontoon, or nature walks with an experienced guide. Fishing in the Kwando is good, with tigerfish and bream being available. There are eight brick and thatched chalets, each with en suite bathroom facilities. The main lodge building comprises an expansive lounge and dining area, curio shop and bar. There is also a comprehensive wildlife reference library and a swimming pool. Since the proclamation of the Mudumu National Park, wildlife numbers have increased and most typical savanna and woodland species occur in the area. Hippos and crocodiles are especially common and the rare Sitatunga may be encountered in papyrus thickets. Birding is good with large concentrations of waterfowl present at times.
