Experience this Zambezi kingdom from 24 chalets dotted along the leafy riverbank of the Kwando. Watch the vervet monkeys leap along tree branches, salute wizened elephant giants in the Bwabwata National Park and glide through wild waterways. Revel in Namushasha gold.
Note: After successfully bringing refreshed design and enhanced comfort to the lodge rooms in 2024, we are now turning our attention to the heart of the lodge. In 2026, the main guest areas, including the reception, restaurant, bar, and sundowner deck, will undergo a major upgrade to create a brighter, more modern space that complements the look and feel of our newly styled rooms. To ensure a smooth renovation process with minimal disruption, the lodge will be temporarily closed from Jan-Apr 2026. (gondwana)
