'A kafue lodge situated on the west bank of the magnificent Lunga River in the north-eastern region of the Park'
Lunga River Lodge is situated on the west bank of the magnificent Lunga River in the north-eastern region of the Kafue National Park.
The Lunga River is one of the three main tributaries into the Busanga Plains, an area in the extreme north of the Park, and one of the last truly unspoilt places in the world.
At 22 500 square kilometres, Kafue National Park is one of the largest National Parks in Africa, fed by three rivers. The Lufupa River floods in the summer, creating a large floodplain delta system that attracts thousands of waterbirds. The Lunga and Kafue rivers are wide and slow-flowing, banded by riverine forest.
Lunga Lodge has six spacious thatched rooms with private decks that overlook the river, ensuring breathtaking views and en suite shower and bathroom.
There is a bar at Lunga with sundeck that is suspended over the river, a dining room and deck, reading room and plunge pool.
A maximum of 12 guests can be accommodated at any one time and great emphasis has been placed on the "guided" experience - being led by qualified, enthusiastic people with in-depth knowledge of the area and its wildlife.
FACILITIES/ACTIVITIES:
Activities from Lunga Lodge include game drives, walking safaris and boating trips as well as fishing. Night drives provide the added excitement of the nocturnal wonders of the area. For those interested in birding, Kafue National Park boasts 491 species of birds, including endemics such as Chaplin's Barbet.
· Game drives and game walks are available in the Busanga. A combination of the two is probably the most popular activity.
