Kanyemba Lodge

Kanyemba Lodge is set on the riverbank looking out towards the island that gave the camp it's name. Kanyemba's great atmosphere and vibe, the staff, the surrounding nature, expert guiding, and breathtaking scenery, along with the renowned cuisine will make your experience of Zambia's hospitality one to remember! Access is typically by road from Lusaka, a journey that will take about 2½ hours and finshes with a small boat trip into camp.

The lodge offers a wide range of activities from exciting walking safaris to relaxing cruises. As the lodge is located around 45 km outside the actual Lower Zambezi National Park, they offer full day game drives for guests who stay for a minimum of 3 nights. You depart the lodge early morning for a boat ride (approx 1½ hours) downstream to the base camp of Conservation Lower Zambezi (CLZ), where you will transfer to an open top game drive vehicle. The full day is spent in the National Park, exploring loops to find 4 of the big 5 (elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard), as well as a variety of herbivores and birds.

Back at the camp, and overlooking the river, the restaurant and bar allow spacious and relaxed dining. Meanwhile upstairs, guests can relax and enjoy the extensive library and lounge with a view across the river – the perfect space to while away the afternoon!

Each evening guests are treated to Kanyemba Lodge's famous cuisine under the branches of a giant wild Mango Tree. With a distinctly Italian influence, the team of chefs will wow your palate at the same time as the 'Kanyemba Chorus' of hyena, frogs, and of course the odd lion, will wow your mind.

There is also a swimming pool beautifully situated on the banks of the river, with built-in benches that allow a retreat from the hotter hours of the day - whilst sipping a G&T and watching the elephants on the opposite bank.

Kanyemba Lodge strives to provide a haven in which to enjoy the beauty and activities on offer in the Lower Zambezi. Catering for a maximum of 20 guests, the lodge comprises 6 stone and thatch rondavel chalets, each with their own large private deck overlooking the Zambezi River, full en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.

In addition there is a Family Chalet which includes 3 suites – each with their own private entrance and en-suite bathrooms, but sharing a large deck area.
