How to get to kalizo Lodge
BY ROAD
Kalizo Lodge is easily accessible by all vehicles from Windhoek via Rundu to Katima Mulilo, or from Johannesburg or Zimbabwe, via Kasane in Botswana.
From South Africa:
One may leave South africa at the border post at Martins Drift or other border posts, depending which part of South Africa you are coming from and wish to enter into Botswana to Francistown, then on to Nata and up to Kasane. From Kasane you travel throught the Chobe National Parks transit road to Ngoma border post.
This brings the traveller into Caprivi which once formed the southernmost portion of the old Lozi kingdom before the British Government gave what became known as the Caprivi Strip to Germany in 1890 as part of the Anglo-German Agreement. This was done without explaining the implications to theLozi king, Lewanika, whose son, Litia, ruled over part of Caprivi at that time.
Once you enter Namibia at the Ngoma border post, you travel for 56km till to you come to the sign for Kalizo Lodge, turn right at the sign, which also says Kalimbeza D3508. Follow the road until you find a signboard to the left that says Kalizo Lodge 5km. Or see the simple map below.
