Great and friendly service!

We enjoyed the weekend in this location, staying in the safari Tent 4 with en-suite
facilities and directly overlooking the Luangwa River. We had booked the all-inclusive package, which did not disappoint! Great meals, tea- and coffee-times, also on the game drives that were included, all offered with really excellent and friendly service. Salim was one of the most knowledgeable guides that we’ve had.

Great lodge, people, location, service and atmosphere!

We stayed at the en-suite tent which was perfect. The place itself is very nice, clean, pretty and open to any animals that decide to wander around! It is safe, there is water and electricity all times, hot showers, clean rooms, comfy beds and delicious food with equally good vegetarian and gluten free options! People are very kind, guides are knowledgeable, safari experience was absolutely the best. I would totally come back.

Phenomenal visit

My wife and I visited for 3 nights, with 4 game drives. Ryver was our guide — he had tremendous experience and knowledge and was fun to be with. Due to it being the down season we had some completely private drives with him too. Evening/night drives are something special in this area. As for the lodging, we were incredibly impressed with our own private chalet. The food was incredible too. Would absolutely book again. Magical encounters with animals including wild dogs and lions.
