Reasons To
Visit Zambia

  • Big cats & safari wildlife

    Zambia is a safari destination for the connoisseur, boasting a fantastic range of wildlife in its diverse national parks. Many amazing game experiences can be had within the national parks, with lion virtually guaranteed and leopard in abundance. This superb array of game can be appreciated on foot, by car or on the water.

  • Birds

    Zambia offers the full range of fascinating, colourful birdlife you’d expect to see on safari, with a range of water based birds in the Lower Zambezi and Kafue National Parks. The Bangweulu Wetlands are one of the few places on the planet where you can see the impressive Shoebill Stork.

  • Boat trips

    An evening cruise on the Zambezi in Livingstone and game viewing from Kafue’s Lufupa River are wonderfully relaxing, but best of all are the water based activities in the Lower Zambezi. Drifting slowly down river, observing elephants coming into drink as the sun goes down is one of the definitive African experiences.

    Boat trips

  • Night drives

    With night drives offered in all of the major national parks, Zambia is arguably the best destination in Africa to observe nocturnal wildlife. The South Luangwa in particular is known for outstanding leopard sightings, and there is a tangible excitement to watching how wildlife behaves after dark.

  • Victoria Falls

    By any judgement Victoria Falls is an awesome force of nature. During the wet season up to 550 million litres of water cascades over the lip of the Falls each minute, offering an intensely photogenic experience. The spectacle that so bewitched David Livingstone is still equally impressive today.

  • Walking safari

    With superb guides and remote wilderness, the country that invented the walking safari is still the premier walking destination on the continent. There is nothing quite like approaching elephants or buffalo on foot knowing full well that you are a mere guest in their territory.

Accommodation in Zambia: Mfuwe Lodge

Mfuwe Lodge is a great place to stay as it has every comfort and yet it is still in Luangwa park. We particularly love the hippo pool in front of the lodge. You can sit on your balcony and there's always something to see from the hippos and birds to animals coming to drink from the waters.

Mfuwe Lodge

South Luangwa National Park

Mfuwe Lodge is situated in a prime location in the South Luangwa Park.

It overlooks the Mfuwe Lagoon which is home to a large pod of hippos and is covered in brilliant green Nile cabbage - it's very pretty.

Entering the lodge you'll find high beamed ceilings and thatch roofs. There is an open plan dining room, lounge and bar area that lead onto a lovely big pool deck with views of a smaller lagoon.

Paths lead to eighteen well appointed timber and thatch chalets, two that are split-level suites and two that are family rooms. Every chalet overlooks the lagoon and has a large sunny deck. Sitting on your chair you can watch the hippos wallow and splash in the water in front of you.

Inside the chalets are stylish and spacious with and they have double or twin beds, walk-in mosquito nets, fans, writing desks, fridge and en-suite bathrooms. The sunken baths also have wonderful views through the large windows.

The split level suites are entered through an upper lounge and deck area and the bedroom and bathroom is below with another spacious decking. There are wide expanses of polished wooden floor, rich rugs and beautiful pottery - not a detail has been overlooked.

In the dry season, the lagoon decreases in size but is a fabulous place as it attracts wildlife to these small oases. Mfuwe Lodge is in a very good network of game tracks and activities focus on morning, evening and night drives in open 4WDs.

The Luangwa Valley is one of Africa's premier game viewing destinations but often remains criminally overlooked during the Green Season – November to May. It’s a time of plenty, when animals take full advantage of the abundant food to give birth to their young, and when the valley is at its most colourful.
