Kasaka River Lodge

Kasaka River Lodge is a luxury retreat on the banks of the Zambezi River surrounded by the protected game area of the Chiawa Game Management area. Just 4 kiometers from the Lower Zambezia National Park, this lodge offers the unrivalled game-viewing that only wild Africa can deliver, but with a uniqueness all its own: Kasaka River Lodge has a national park on both banks of the river, the Lower Zambezi National Park on the Zambian side, and Mana Pools World Heritage Site on the Zimbabwean side.

The game-rich Zambezi River flows along the entire length of Kasaka River Lodge, bringing with it full and constant views of the local wildlife. With these breathtaking vistas over the river, guests can expect to see large herds of wild elephant, buffalo, crocodile and hippo.

The accommodation at Kasaka River Lodge is pure indulgence. Eight private and luxurious tents are elegantly furnished to form the luxury chalet component of the lodge, with authentic African décor extending into the en-suite bathrooms. These spa bathrooms are also provided with fluffy towels and toiletries, with the expected convenience of flush toilets and heated showers. In these luxury chalets, guests can choose to stay on either the "wild" or "tame" side. The wild side is deeper in the bush with walkways where the wildlife can pass overhead compared to the tame side set near the pool area with its manicured gardens.

Add extra privacy to this recipe and you have the Wild Mango Honeymoon Suite. This suite offers the same sumptuous accommodation as the luxury chalets, but with the added romance of a four-poster bed and the setting on the furthest, most secluded spot along the river.

The final luxury in this real Zambian lodge is an exclusive family home, offering en-suite master bedroom, second twin bedroom and a double sleeper couch in the lounge area, should 6 guests wish to stay together. The home is perfect for families wanting a private and exclusive break within a gorgeous African home with a private wooden deck and access to the swimming pool and other lodge facilities.

Apart from the upmarket accommodation, Kasaka River Lodge offers a wonderful range of activities for both young and young at heart: game drives, river cruises on pontoon boats, fantastic fishing and cultural visits to the Mugurameno Village.
