Ila Safari Lodge

KAFUE NATIONAL PARK

Overview
 

Ila Safari Lodge is located on the banks of the Kafue River with 180-degree views out across the water. Ila offers an environmentally conscious safari experience in this pristine, wildlife-rich wilderness area.
 

Rooms

The lodge has ten well-appointed safari tents which have been sympathetically designed in keeping with the natural surroundings, providing shade and privacy. All tents are en-suite with either an outside shower or bath and private view of the river!
 

There are two larger family suites, each with their own deck reaching out over the banks of the Kafue River. For larger families and groups of friends, the seven-bedroom Ila Safari House comes with its own private pool.

Facilities

There is an infinity pool with river views. Dining is shared and meals are prepared with fresh local produce. A shared lounge serves drinks and is the perfect place to relax or socialise. The lodge has a central boma, which is the showpiece of the property. Private dining is also available on your deck.
Children are welcome at Ila Safari Lodge with no age limit.

Our thoughts

"Looking for bathtime with a difference? Ila is the place – you never know what wildlife might wander past as you enjoy an open-air bath or shower. For those looking to minimise their impact on the environment, the e-cruisers and e-boat offer unique safari experiences."
