Unique dining experiences, such as private meals beneath lunar rainbows at the Falls, add to the magic, while our innovative bath menu allows guests to customise their soak with eco-friendly products.

Set against the basalt rock bed with a sustainable pine deck entwined amid the branches of three ebonies, the secluded Tree House offers effortless immersion into its riverfront surrounds. A hidden path winds away from the main lodge and along the cliff face to the Tongabezi Tree House. From the Anatolian carpets to the Asian chests and West African artwork, the Tree House enchants the imagination and invokes colourful daydreams. Stunning views of the Zambezi River roll out from every part of this airy, open plan space. The king size bed is enveloped in a large, canopied mosquito net and shares this extensive space with areas for private dining and lounging. The bathroom's crowning glory is the claw-footed bath complemented by riverfront views and the sounds of nature.

Perched on a large, suspended deck on a cliff overlooking the Zambezi River, the Bird House is an intimate and secluded retreat that celebrates the romance of the wilderness. The Bird House features a king size four poster bed, draped in mosquito netting and has an exquisite bird themed headboard, designed by Lightfoot Zambia. There is a small indoor lounge, with wooden and glass folding doors opening onto a private terrace and plunge pool. Unwind outdoors beside the river from the claw-footed, open-air bathtub covered in bubbles and with a cool, tall drink in hand as the sun sets over the Zambezi. Dine privately by the warm glow of lanterns, before sitting back to stargaze under the constellations of the Southern Hemisphere.

Redefining life on the banks of the Zambezi River, Tongabezi's signature African-fusion style has been distilled in our five River Cottages. The Cottages feature high ceilings, giant bespoke wood and glass windows, and doors leading onto expansive sustainable pine decks. The best of 'Made in Zambia' is carried throughout both the interior and outdoor spaces in the most elegant ways. The River Cottages are perfect for the couple dreaming of a romantic and secluded retreat. They can also be booked out by a group that wants to connect with each other, while still enjoying downtime in private.

A boho-chic retreat with all the indulgence and privacy needed to celebrate romance, the Honeymoon House is the original blueprint for laidback luxury Tongabezi accommodation. Blue and white textiles combine with wooden furnishings and a thatched roof to create an intimate space in which to unwind together. The private wooden deck with plunge pool and dining area overlooks the river, making for unforgettable alfresco living. The en-suite bathroom has an indoor shower and open-air bathtub that is made utterly unforgettable by the canopy of stars above and the Zambezi lapping gently below.

The Dog House occupies its own private world at the edge of the Tongabezi garden. Elevated walkways connect the three separate decks that make up your immense Dog House home with the rest of Tongabezi. The house is made up of two bedrooms with a central indoor and outdoor lounge, private plunge pool, dining area and bar. The mighty Zambezi River flows beneath the sustainable pine decking during high water, as the house is raised off the ground to guarantee spectacular views from each window, sofa, bed and bath. The Dog House is a wonderful escape for families and friends who love travel and appreciate being together in nature, but who also want a little space for privacy.

Credit: Green Safaris

Set back from the Zambezi River, the Garden House offers a different perspective to the sweeping river views that can still be enjoyed from any of the main lodge decks. This is a secluded home for families and friends that appreciate privacy and space, allowing all members of the group to spread out a little within a safe environment. Rich, earthy-toned textiles and wooden furnishings create inviting shared spaces in the dining room and lounge as well as the private bedrooms, both fully en-suite. Stepping outdoors, a large, covered lounge opens out onto your own garden and plunge pool.

Ila Safari Lodge is an exclusive eco-luxury retreat set on the banks of the Kafue River in Zambia’s largest national park. With just 10 stylish safari tents, including two family suites, the lodge accommodates a maximum of 24 guests, ensuring an intimate and immersive experience. Each tent is positioned for panoramic river views, featuring en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers or bathtubs, and extra-length beds for ultimate comfort.

Sustainability is at the heart of Ila. As the first Green Safaris property, the lodge operates entirely on solar power and is home to Zambia’s first electric game drive vehicles (e-Cruisers) and a silent, solar-powered e-Boat—offering unique, low-impact safari experiences. Game drives, river safaris, and walking safaris provide diverse opportunities to explore Kafue’s vast wilderness, home to an incredible variety of wildlife.

The central boma is a striking blend of eco-conscious design and modern African style, offering exceptional dining, an infinity pool, and a firepit for starlit evenings. The lodge’s commitment to conservation and community initiatives makes it an ideal choice for travellers seeking an authentic, sustainable safari in one of Africa’s most remote and untouched landscapes.

Contemporary African style and sustainability meets the essence of the traditional bush safari experience in our 10 Ila Luxury Tents. Built carefully around existing mature trees, the tents are mounted on raised decks made from environmentally friendly wood that extend over the Kafue River. With nature’s generous help, the Ila Luxury Couples Tents bestow upon you and your loved one privacy, tranquility and a touch of romance. Double vanities set in local woods with brass and copper fittings finish off the open, river-facing en-suite bathroom. We promise your only neighbours will be the hippos wallowing below!

Six of the eight tents allow for twin bed configurations so are great for friends travelling together.

Panoramic views across the Kafue River make you feel the immediacy of your surrounds, while modern outdoor and indoor furnishings bring you the comforts of home in the Ila Luxury Family Tents. Enclosed in our Family Tents are two bedrooms separated by a curtain so that each tent can sleep a family of four. An extra bed can be added for a third child. The bathroom and toilet are separate from the bedrooms and both tents have a luxurious indoor bath and shower. Sleeping in a tent in the African bush is a memorable experience for both big and small. These tents are also ideal for two couples sharing as both rooms can comfortably fit king size beds.

Immerse yourself in the heart of the Busanga Plains at Chisa Busanga Camp. Inspired by local weaver bird nests, our elevated Nest rooms blend seamlessly with nature, offering panoramic views of the vast plains. These architectural marvels are crafted sustainably to ensure minimal ecological impact while maximizing your connection to the wild.

Chisa stands out with its commitment to green innovation. As the only camp in the plains powered entirely by solar energy, we introduce guests to Silent Safaris. These noiseless electric drives promise intimate wildlife encounters, bringing you closer to nature's heartbeat.

Witness the magic as elephants wander beneath the Nests at sunset, and with more lions than beds for travellers, the plains promise an exclusive wildlife experience. Celebrated by global publications like Lonely Planet and National Geographic, Chisa Busanga Camp is where luxury meets sustainability.

The Nest

Hidden away in the trees, the Chisa Busanga Nests weave together luxury and romance while immersing you in the enchanting wilderness of the Busanga Plains. The four Nests are built four metres off the ground and shaded by terminalia trees. You are treated to expansive views from your luxurious beds, private outdoor deck and indoor/outdoor shower. Wooden steps lead you to your haven in the trees, which is lined in canvas tenting and fitted with a modern en-suite bathroom and king size bed covered in soft linens.

Weaver birds are masterful little builders that knit together twigs and grass, which they line with feathers to create a cosy cocoon for their chicks. We like to think the Chisa Busanga Nests reflect the same loving detail and dedication that they put into nest building.
