WELCOME TO

Kafunta River Lodge

SOUTH LUANGWA

Overview

Kafunta River Lodge offers a warm and relaxing atmosphere, with plenty of opportunity to discover and enjoy some of the richest wildlife areas of Zambia, while enjoying the hospitality of an authentic owner run lodge.

Rooms

The camp has ten thatched chalets raised on wooden platforms, with private viewing decks. Each chalet includes en-suite facilities with hot and cold running water. The standard chalets are spacious, and the luxury chalets feature an upstairs viewing veranda and bathroom.

The lodge also features a private tented villa, The Sunset House, with 3 en-suite bedrooms. This is perfect for multi-generation families or small groups of friends seeking more privacy and flexibility.

Facilities

The camp’s main area has a shared dining space and an open-sided thatched lounge and bar with views across to the Luangwa River and the South Luangwa National Park. A campfire is lit each evening, and a comfortable wooden deck overlooks an active waterhole with uninterrupted views. A wildlife hide under the deck is the perfect place for photography or bird watching. There is an infinity pool, natural hot spring tub and wellness spa.

Activities on offer include game drives (morning, afternoon, and night), bush walks, and village & cultural tours.

Our thoughts

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

" We had a wonderful time! We loved the journey and whole experience on Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Vic Falls. We especially enjoyed Victoria Falls and the wildlife in the grounds of the hotel! We liked Mauritius alot. "

"We had a FABULOUS time. Even my husband, who was not keen on going, enjoyed the trip! We saw the Big 5 as well as many other animals. The vulture feeding at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was well worth watching. It is part of a foundation to keep these birds from becoming endangered. It was a great trip and my family loved it. Thank you so very much for all your help in making the trip a reality for us!!!"

"South Africa was absolutely fabulous. Too many highlights to mention. The “stand out” for us was definitely the Rovos Train. The helicopter flight over Victoria Falls was exciting & the Safari at Shamwari was superb! Driving the Garden route (& sometimes off the beaten track !) was stunning. Great memories of such a lovely country."
