Lunga River Lodge, Zambia


Lunga River Lodge is beautifully situated on the west bank of the pristine Lunga River in the north-eastern region of the vast Kafue National Park. The Lunga River is one of the three main arteries of the Kafue and is characterised by a thin, but lush ribbon of riverine woodland flanking its waters. This river is unique and offers a thoroughly different atmosphere to many other major river systems within south-central Africa. The lodge boasts a unique location in a remote corner of the Park where the Lunga River is the centre of activities: exciting mammal viewing and thrilling birding.

Lunga River Lodge is approximately a 1hour 45 minute flight from Livingstone to the North Kafue and an approximately a 1hr40 minute flight from Lusaka.
