Lower Zambezi Getaway

Zambia's Lower Zambezi valley is one of Africa's last great wilderness areas. Renowned for breathtaking scenery and incredible wildlife, it's also home to Kasaka River Lodge.

Kasaka is a 20 bed tented camp offering an authentic and memorable safari experience. Nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River in the Chiawa Game Management area, it is set in a natural bush environment with each chalet secluded amongst the native flora, only 4 kilometers by road from the Lower Zambezi National Park.

This is the only stretch on the 2,700 kilometer course of the Zambezi River where one finds National Parks on both banks of the river - the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia and the famed Mana Pools World Heritage Site in Zimbabwe.

The river extends the length of the property and there are breathtaking views over the water with sightings of buffalo, elephant, hippo and crocodile. The philosophy of combining a tranquil, off the beaten track destination for guests with support of the local environment, culture and natural resources is our dream
.
Whether relaxing within our classic tents, our Wild Mango honeymoon suite or our Hippo Pod family lodge we make sure your accommodation is a real home from home.

We offer an unmatched variety of activities including day and night drives, boats cruises, walking safaris or our flagship experience, canoeing, which offers you the opportunity to view wildlife from a more natural perspective. The Lower Zambezi is also widely known as one of the best places to catch (and release) a tiger fish or two
.
Relax! It’s the only thing we insist upon at Chongwe Safaris. You can put your feet up on our furniture without worrying what anyone is going to think... Or curl up amongst plump cushions with a good book and not bother about appearances... We like great service and winning smiles more than dressing for dinner. These are the ethics we take seriously in all of our award-winning accommodation options.

Classic Tent Hippo Pod

Kasaka offers an authentic and memorable safari experience set in a natural bush environment. We have two ‘wings’ to the camp - our cultivated ‘tame’ side has beautiful manicured gardens and indigenous plants whilst our natural ‘wild’ side, is set in a more rustic environment and is connected to the main lodge by overhead, wooden walkways to allow for the passage of wildlife within camp.

Our 8 classic tents are large, walk-in style safari tents which accommodate two single beds or one king size. Each has an elegantly furnished en-suite bathroom with flush toilets and powerful, heated showers. Outside verandas create the perfect spot for watching the world go by on the river.

Our honeymoon tent, Wild Mango, is located at the end of the 'wild' side and also benefits from a secluded extended deck and outdoor bath. The perfect place for viewing game on the banks of the river under the African sky.

Kasaka is proud to offer our guests a luxury family home, ideal for families or guests wanting an exclusive and private safari experience. Our home is beautifully finished and boasts handpicked furniture bought from local craftsman giving it a unique atmosphere.

Offering two large canvas bedrooms with a lounge connecting them. Both rooms can be set to accommodate either double or twin beds and have en suite bath and shower. Furthermore the lounge can convert to provide extra sleeping space for younger children if needed.

Hippo Pod has its own secluded deck and swimming pool supplied with sun loungers and its own area for private dining where morning coffee and evening meals can be enjoyed whilst overlooking the most spectacular Zambezi River.

Guests can also enjoy the main facilities of the lodge including the bar area, viewing deck, swimming pool and dining area.
