Camp Rio
Longa is situated on an island near the mouth of the Longa
River on the West Coast of Angola. Only two and a half-hours by road,
South of the capital city Luanda, the Rio
Longa forms the southern most border of the Kisama National
Park. This park achieved international recognition following a well-publicized
elephant relocation project during the year 2000. |
| |
| Surrounded by
the fresh waters of the Rio Longa,
the island is literally only meters away from the Atlantic Ocean. This
mighty body of water is kept at bay by a permanent sand split that
forms the barrier between the river and the sea. |
| |
| This unusual
marriage between fresh and salt water created a unique ecosystem that
abounds with a variety of natural life. Fish eagle and osprey, boabab
and mangrove, crocodile and shark all existing in an unusual harmony,
unique in its difference and variety. |
| |
| Built under
a canopy of Makalani Palms, the lodge consists of a main dining and
entertainment area and six twin bedded luxury safari tents,
with en-suite facilities. The luxury safari tents are built on raised
wooden platforms all connected by wooden walkways. The wooden
walkways are dimly lit by storm lanterns at dusk and connect all the
tents with the entertainment area. |
| |
| The spacious
entertainment area consists of a comfortable lounge, dining area and
bar where the days’ experiences can be related over a cold sundowner
drink while the kitchen prepares traditional Portuguese and African
delicacies or the fresh catch of the day. The lodge also has a well
stocked library of reference books. |
| |
| The luxury safari
style tents are very spacious, comfortable and tastefully appointed
and all have
twin
beds with mosquito nets, the en-suite facilities consist of a modern
flush water closet, hand basin and shower with hot and cold running
