Luwambwa Lodge is situated in the western side of the Kasanka National Park on the banks of the Luwombwa River. Kasanka National Park is the only park in Zambia that is privately operated and managed.
Luwombwa Lodge offers accommodation in traditional style concrete and thatch chalets each with en-suite bathrooms and a small private deck area with views across to the Luwombwa River. Some of the chalets accommodate families with up to four beds, offering good value accommodation. The main lodge has a restaurant and bar area and is nestled in a well-shaded area enjoying vistas of the river.
The activities at Luwombwa focus primarily on the Luwombwa River and include canoe trips along the river (ranging from 3 hours to several days) and fishing. The river is slower moving than many other fishing areas in Zambia, making it ideal for bream fishing but you will occasionally find tiger fish at the right time of year.
Kasanka National Park is one of the most picturesque parks in Zambia and contains a rich diversity of animal, bird and plant life. Despite its size of only 390km² it hosts a variety of habitats from miombo woodlands to open dambo grasslands and a network of rivers and lakes. Several rare species are abundant in the park, including sitatunga, wattled crane, Ross’s Lourie and Blue Monkeys. In addition, Kasanka is also host to a unique and spectacular congregation of several million Straw-Coloured Fruitbats every November and December. The birdlife in the area is also spectacular with over 410 species identified including many rare and endangered species; contact us for a current birdlist.
