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.
