Kafunta River Lodge

Location

The camp is located outside of the national park and the Luangwa River marks the barrier between the national park and the game management area. The game management area, which Nkwali also sits on, has resident game as there are no fences and the animals are free to move between the national park and the GMA, but game drives are mostly done in the park as the sightings are more reliable.

Layout

Kafunta River Lodge is formed of a total of ten rooms - eight safari chalets and two luxury suites, each with private verandas and en-suite bathrooms. The camp has a swimming pool, a natural hot spring tub, a small gym and spa and the main area has a cosy lounge, dining and bar area.

Rooms

The chalets are built on raised wooden platforms and have natural thatch roofs. The rooms have simple yet colourful furnishings and the use of natural materials give it an authentic design. The luxury suites have a private deck, an upstairs viewing veranda and larger bathroom.

Activities

Two game activities are included at Kafunta River Lodge, one early morning at around 6am, and the other in the late afternoon at around 4pm. Kafunta have their own crossing points into the national park which are used to cut down on logistics and time using the main gate. Game drives and walking safaris can be done, all on a shared basis.
