Luangwa River Lodge

Lodge 

Description

THE LUANGWA RIVER ... ... which marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It covers an area of over 9050 sq. km through which the Luangwa River runs.

The ox bow lagoons, Miombo woodland and plains of the Valley host huge concentrations of game including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo, wild dog, the puku, endemic to the region – and over 400 species of birds.

Nestled under an ancient ebony grove in Zambia on the banks of the Luangwa River overlooking the Wafwa Oxbow Lagoon lays this intimate owner run lodge, caters for just five couples at any one time.

The Lodge’s gentle but exquisite décor fuses vibrant earth tones and raw materials. Palm stalks, indigenous timber, thatch and red earthen plaster create a strikingly elegant yet warm atmosphere.

An unhurried environment to reflect and unwind providing a continuous link with nature and the natural flow of Africa’s endless wide open spaces.

The Luangwa River Lodge consists of just five Chalets thus catering for no more than 10 guests at any one time. The chalets are individually named; Mwala, Mazi, Merzi, Moto and Ziko and all feature unique decorative themes.

Fine dining is on offer and the food is a fusion of Modern European and African. On request, most dishes can be catered for. Special dietary requirements must be requested on booking.
