Lunga River Lodge is located in Zambia's Kafue National Park - one of the largest National Parks in Africa.
In the extreme north of the Kafue lie the Busanga Plains - one of Zambia's most significant wetland resources and one of the few areas in the world that remain untouched by development and human activity. The Busanga Plains cover an area of approximately 750 sq km and is the best area in Zambia to see cheetah.
The beauty of the Kafue National Park - and the Busanga Plains in particular - is evident in its diverse habitats with floodplains, miombo woodland and open grassy areas known as dambos - creating a paradise for wildlife and birdlife. Species like puku and impala are abundant while roan and Lichtenstein's hartebeest occur in lower densities.
Viewing of buffalo herd and elephant bulls is good while lion and leopard are regularly encountered. Additional interesting species in the form of yellow baboons and tree hyrax occur in the vicinity of the camp while a high density hippo population occurs in the Lunga River.
Lunga River Lodge has six spacious thatched rooms with private decks that overlook the river, ensuring breathtaking views. A maximum of 12 guests can be accommodated at any one time.
Great emphasis has been placed on the 'guided' experience at Lunga River Lodge - being led by qualified, enthusiastic people with in-depth knowledge of the area and its wildlife. Activities 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, the Park boasts 491 species of birds, including endemics such as Chaplin's Barbet.
