This small family run luxurious lodge on the banks of the Kafue River
is totally secluded and distant from any other lodges, making it a
private and un-commercialised wildlife experience.
It is not uncommon to have elephants wandering through the camp or lions and leopards catching their prey in the lodge grounds.
The Kafue River is home to large pods of hippos and it is the source of
life for the area, drawing animals to its banks. Game viewing by boat
is therefore spectacular and enjoying a drink as the sunsets is a
tranquil experience.
Fishing is excellent and it has become a lodge tradition for fisherman
to attempt to catch all 5 different bream species as well as Pike, is
similar to tiger fish, but smaller in size.
With a maximum of only 12 guests the focus is on personal service,
flexibility and giving guests the opportunity to enjoy the diverse range
of activities available, which includes game viewing from an open
safari vehicle, on foot, by boat or by canoe; visiting a natural hot
spring, fishing, or simply enjoying a sundowner at a view point above
the lodge offering stunning views over the National Park.
Guests could also however remain in camp and see what animals pop-in.
Chalets are private, being individually sited, and all have river
views. The African-Colonial décor is complimented by 100% percale cotton
linen and Rhodesian Teak furniture, with beds that have been quoted as
“the most comfortable in Africa”. Ceiling fans keep the rooms cool in
the heat and nets keep mosquitoes off.
Breakfasts and lunches are enjoyed on the deck which extends over the
river, whilst dinner is served around a fire. In the unusual case where
weather calls for inside dining our restaurant is obliging which also
portrays the African-Colonial theme of the lodge.
