Luxury safari vacations

Susuwe Island Lodge

There have been regular leopard, lion and wild dog sightings at Susuwe Island Lodge in Namibia. Guests have been lucky enough to see an average of two leopard sightings a week which is a good indication that the population is stable and hopefully on the increase. There are growing populations of red lechwe, waterbuck and greater kudu. There has also been an influx of nomadic lion species due to the dry season movement of hundreds of buffalo into the Bwabwata. These lion sightings have improved by 50% over the winter and remain constant with some of the females showing signs of denning. Three large male lions who are probably related have been spotted in the area over the last three months. They seem to have declared themselves as being in charge of the territory. Other cat sightings include cheetah, African wild cat and caracal.
