Rainbow River Lodge is located on the banks of the Okavango River in the Caprivi Strip of north-eastern Namibia.
We offer high comfort accommodation at low, affordable prices whether you prefer camping on the banks of the river or the comfort of a chalet.
Our guests can be assured of always receiving warm, friendly and true Namibian hospitality during their stay.
Rainbow River Lodge Accommodation
Each of our 20 chalets has one room with two or three beds, fitted with mosquito nets and its own en-suite bathroom with a hot water shower and of course a view of the surrounding area of the Okavango from the balconies.
The 20 riverside camping spots with a beautiful green lawn, huge trees, braai areas and electricity outlets are served by 4 ablution blocks where guests can take a hot relaxing shower.
Put up camp next to your vehicle and breathe the fresh Okavango air whilst the gracious and gentle sound of the mighty river soothes your ears.

Chalet
Higher up on the riverbank you will find 20 stylish chalets, each with their own en-suite bathroom. Every chalet consists of a single room with either 2 or 3 beds, its own bathroom with a hot water shower and electrical power.
For a peaceful and comfortable sleep each bed comes with a mosquito net standard.
We realized that our guests may also not always be used to our hot airy nights thus each chalet is fitted with a comforting ceiling fan.
