Suclabo Lodge



(11 bungalows) PO Box 894, Rundu; tel/fax: 066 259005; fax: 066 259026; email: suclabo@iway.na; web: www.suclabo@iway.na
Suclabo has stood for many years in a stunning position overlooking some rapids on a beautiful bend in the river, downstream of the main Popa Falls. It is well signposted a few kilometres off the main road, just south of Popa, along with a proud sign boasting 'German hospitality'. It is unclear if this is intended as an enticement or a warning, but the author generally prefers Namibian hospitality.

Suclabo has a swimming pool, restaurant, bar, and a number of thatched bungalows, each with private deck and a view to go with it; there are also facilities for camping.

River trips and fishing excursions by motor boat can be organised by the lodge, as can drives into Mahango National Park. The paddle-yourself canoe trips sound like a treat, as the manager will tell you where the hippos are, presumably so you can avoid them. A boat is being converted into a floating bar, and eventually Suclabo will be a super camp.
