Wetlands Paradise: Caprivi, Namibia

Not only does Sambi Tours & Shuttle CC now shuttle tourists from the Mountain Kingdom to the Wetlands Paradise but we just completed opening up a branch in Katima Mulilo, Zambezi, Namibia! It took us a while transferring automobiles and various equipment from Windhoek to our new branch in Katima Mulilo, at last we’re now operational in Zambezi Region!

See, to us who were born in this region, it’s a blessing getting a chance to come back and setup a structure of any sort here! And in my case, I've this knack for imagining the Zambezi Region as a Garden of Eden frequently mentioned in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. I don’t know why I like visualizing the Zambezi Region as the Garden of Eden, but I sub-consciously do it as I had been doing it since I started hearing about the bible stories of Adam and Eve when I was just a little boy. I haven’t discussed this fantasy of mine with anybody yet, but I reckon I am not the only one dreaming such things about this region as the Garden of Eden.

But I guess that’s so because the region has been truly blessed with Africa’s most amazing exclusive and complex network of rivers, riverine forests, swamps, flood plains, and thick woodlands teeming with wildlife and birdlife. For instance, during these past few days that I've been here I saw thousands of elephants, buffalos, (not to mention hippos and crocodiles in the waters) and many other animals roaming the bushes freely without fear of any kind whatsoever. People and animals here know how to share life without hurting one another. It’s here where our peoples through tradition do believe that the earth owns the people; the people don’t own the earth, so the legacy human beings leave behind in that regard determines the future of the earth!

People in this region are backed up by traditions of their forefathers (Bantu Speaking Farmers) arising from as early as 3000 BC. And thanks to such traditions, people in this region are self-reliant when it comes to agriculture and various ways of not only traditional but modern living too!

Anyway, our being here has everything to do with Sambi Tours & Shuttle CC, a lucrative lawful business with enormous potential due to a high influx of tourists to Namibia. Zambezi Region is of course a small Namibian territory with a large number of tourism resorts that probably require a complete book to outline them all in one go! Briefly speaking, in the eastern part of Caprivi (Zambezi) you find lodges such as Impalila Island Lodge, Chobe River Lodge, Ntwala Island Lodge, Elephant Lodge, and Camp Chobe.

And in the central parts of Zambezi, Katima Mulilo district, you would be delighted to lodge at either Zambezi River Lodge (Protea Hotel) or indulge yourself at Caprivi River Lodge, Caprivi Houseboat Safari Lodge, Island View Lodge, Kalizo Lodge, Namwi Island Campsite & Self-catering, 3 Palms Bed & Breakfast, Fish Eagle’s Guesthouse, and countless other guesthouses all over Katima Mulilo. 

And in the west you would be treated like a king or queen at Lianshulu Bush Lodge, Mazambala Island Lodge, Namushasha Country Lodge, Susuwe Island Lodge, Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge, Lianshulu Lodge, and Camp Kwando, to mention but a few. And surprisingly, there are times, when all the above mentioned lodges (region-wide) and guest houses are full to capacity, thanks to tourists vacating in the Zambezi! 

But guess what; all such tourists traveling and vacating in the region have got to be shuttled from one place to the other, and that’s where Sambi Tours & Shuttle do come in! We shuttle not only tourists in such basic context but everybody, local passengers and all sorts of foreigners included, and we do it with great inclination because we love our work. We wake up each morning with great anticipation for what the day holds up in store for us!

This is how our staff, particularly drivers do dress whenever on duty. I am really proud of a specialized service we render to our clients at Sambi Tours & Shuttle in the rest of Namibia. And for your information, it’s one of our company policies to shuttle clients privately in comfort without exhibiting their pictures on social networks. Even our drivers aren't supposed to be visibly publicized on social networks like this! I only did it because I am appearing in the picture, of course. But remember that such policy has got nothing to do with the law governing the tourism board of Namibia, it's only we at Sambi Tours & Shuttle who value the privacy of our clients!

Well, I’ll update you again whenever I can, but I wouldn't count on it if I were you! I am so busy here that at times I barely find time to eat my food nicely with time. 

See, I like spending up to two (2) hours eating my food slowly, but not here, there is no time for such luxuries, no time for playing games on the internet either! Anyway, keep well until next time, all right!!
