• Please note that with the upgrading and bitumen surfacing of the main road between Katima Mulilo (Sesheke) and Mongu, access into the area has been made easier and with it has come a few incidents of petty theft. Visitors are therefore asked to be vigilant and it is recommended that valuables are locked in vehicles, especially at night. The owners and staff of Kabula cannot, and do not, accept liability for any losses of any kind.
• Kabula is not connected to the national electricity grid with lighting in the chalets, kitchens, etc, being provided by solar panels and batteries.  You are kindly requested therefore to be vigilant in turning off lights during the day and when you are  not in the room at night. If the lights are left on for long periods the batteries will go flat and you will not have lights! You are also advised to bring a good supply of torches for use when moving around outside at night. Headlamps are particularly useful.
•  Kabula is in a malaria area and whilst the number of reported cases of malaria is low we recommend that you be vigilant and make use of mosquito repellents and use the provided mosquito nets over the beds when sleeping at night.
• Kabula can get rather hot in summer and cool clothes are recommended as are wide brimmed hats.
• Don’t forget your binoculars, bird books and cameras.  There is lots to see!
