Kafunta River Lodge is set in the riverside forest on the banks of the Luangwa River overlooking the South Luangwa National Park. This classic safari lodge offers guests all the expected comforts, while being situated in pristine unspoilt wilderness.
The lodge consists of 8 en-suite chalets and two luxury suites which also feature an upstairs viewing veranda and a luxurious bathroom with double sinks, two showers and a free-standing bath. All chalets and suites have a private veranda and stunning views of the flood plain and Luangwa River beyond.
Central to the lodge is the spacious bar and dining area. Built around a semi-evergreen wild mango tree and thatched in the traditional style, it offers superb panoramic views over the Luangwa River and the South Luangwa National Park. Great game viewing and bird watching from the lodge is guaranteed.
Adjacent to the Bar is the pool and the only natural hot spring tub in the Luangwa valley. This unique hot tub is fed from a source on Kafunta’s grounds, offering a constant temperature of 38 degrees. Here you can enjoy pure relaxation while at the same time being presented with magnificent views over the flood plains and the Luangwa River.
The Lodge has its own pontoon about 5 minutes from the camp; the adventurous crossing takes you into the more remote areas of the Park - an alternative to the main gate 10 km (game driving drive) north of the Lodge.
The Lodge specialises in early morning as well as afternoon and into the evening game drive and also conducts walking safaris.
Airstrip Transfer Time: 45 minutes from Mfuwe Airport
