Lunga River Lodge - Zambia

Luxury Safari Lodge

Location

Standard

Situated on the west bank of the slow-flowing Lunga River in the north-eastern section of the Kafue National Park. The Lunga River is one of the 3 main arteries of the Kafue and is characterised by a thin, but lush ribbon of riverine woodlands. The camp is a 1h45 light aircraft transfer from Livingstone or a 1h20 light aircraft transfer from Lusaka, and is then it is a mere 10 minute road transfer to the lodge itself from the landing strip.

Accommodation

The lodge comprises of 6 spacious thatched rooms, with private decks that overlook the river, and all have en suite showers and bathrooms. The main area of hte lodge features a bar with a sundeck that is suspended over the river, a dining room with outside deck, a reading room and a plunge pool.

Activities at Lunga focus on the river from which the camp takes its name, with the opportunity to explore this fantatsic system by boat, on foot along its banks or by vehicle in the fringing woodlands and 'dambos' (open, grassy areas). Day and night drives are offered as are walking safaris, boat safaris and fishing.

KAFUE NATIONAL PARK
This is the largest Zambian National Park, covering an area of 22 500 square kilometres (the size of Wales), with over 150 species of mammal recorded in the park. Renowned for regular sightings of lion as well as leopard, wild dog, elephant, buffalo, cheetah, hippo and large numbers of plains game from zebra, wildebeest, lechwe, puku and sable... you will not be disappointed. The birding too is phenomenal.

Lunga River Lodge is best incorporated into a 'greater' Zambian safari circuit package. We have put together a suggested 7 day safari package, namely 'The Great Zambian Journey' making use of two camps within the Kafue National Park, one of which is actually Lunga River Lodge, and the other is Busanga Camp, with one night in Victoria Falls Livingstone to take advantage of the adventure activities on offer here. This is a highly recommended safari package as the accommodation and service is excellent, as is the game viewing.

The Zambian safari circuit has 'opened up' in recent years, with increased air access, as well as new/entirely renovated and revamped camps within the National Parks by private business, who realise the potential of this remote, vast and romantic wilderness where game viewing is dynamic.

Our Zambian safari package takes in two camps within the Kafue National Park, however should you wish to include other camps within Kafue itself, or include the other Zambian National Parks (Lochinvar National Park, Lower Zambezi National Park, South Luangwa National Park) into your safari, please do speak to one of our consultants, who will guide you on the best option available at the time of year you wish to travel, as the National Parks are heavily influenced by the rainy season.
