Overview

Kasaka River Lodge is a 22 bed luxury en-suited tented camp nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River in the Chiawa Game Management area, 4 kilometres by road from the Lower Zambezi National Park. This is the only stretch on the 2,700 kilometre 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 lodge is situated in a natural bush environment with each chalet secluded amongst the native flora. Kasaka has a 'tame side' with beautiful manicured gardens and colourful indigenous plants and a 'wild side' for the more adventurous, which is connected to the main lodge by overhead walkways to allow for the passage of wildlife within the camp. The Honeymoon Suite is the last chalet on the river's edge to the west of the 'wild' side and affords maximum privacy. Sink into your sumptuous four-poster double bed draped in luxury and enjoy the Zambian ambience listening to the African nightlife. Breathe in the romantic scented air whilst lying in the sensual natural stone open-air bath, viewing game on the banks of the river under the African sky.

Kasaka's bar and deck area are nestled amongst huge tamarind trees and is the perfect location for watching the world go by on the river. This is an ideal setting for you to relax in the leather loungers or sofas to read or just relax after your day's activities. The library area offers books of interest related to Africa and its abundant flora and fauna and a variety of board games are available on request.

The thatched dining area overlooks the river and dining can also be arranged on the deck for dining under the stars. Private dinners for honeymoon couples or other special occasions can be arranged on request.

The swimming pool, situated on the 'tame side', overlooks the mighty Zambezi River. Sunloungers, large sunshades and two hammocks are available to help you relax during the quieter part of the day. Pool towels are available and drinks are served by the pool.

Kasaka offers its guests early morning and late afternoon drives when the bush is cooler and the game is more active. Their open top Land Rovers provide guests with maximum comfort when on their drives which last between two to four hours depending on the requirements of the guests and the animal activity!

The Hippo Pod is a large family unit, ideal for families or guests wanting an exclusive and private safari experience. The master bedroom offers a double bed with en suite bath and shower whilst the second bedroom offers twin beds. Furthermore the lounge converts to a sleeping area for an extra two guests. Hippo Pod has its own secluded deck supplied with sunloungers and its own area for private dining where morning coffee and evening meals can be enjoyed whilst overlooking the most spectacular Zambezi River. Guests satying at Hippo Pod are provded with their own safari vehicle and guide, plus a chef, so have the ability to create their own daily programmes.

Kasaka offers a unique luxury experience - its very own rhythm, people and animals living side by side in an unrivalled location.
