Kanyemba

The Lower Zambezi Valley - the real destination for serious safari enthusiasts!  The prime pursuits are game viewing by boat and vehicle, canoe safaris and traditional walking safaris using lodges and tented camps as base.

The African experience leaves behind the boundaries of the lodge to join the wild nature surrounding it. You will live a safari in the Lower Zambezi National Park as one of the most amazing experiences you can enjoy in the heart of Africa. Completely surrounded by nature, with just a few small villages inhabited by the Goba tribe nearby, Kanyemba Lodge is an exclusive relaxing spot. The central building enriched with a wonderful patio, lodges the dining room, the bar, a lounge and a library housing interesting books about nature and local traditions. In the heat of the day you can choose to relax in the pool, swimming or just sipping a cocktail while watching the lazy sleep of the hippoes in the river.

The five bungalows and the romantic honeymoon suite forming the lodge, are discreetely located on the river bank under the shadow of wild mangoes and huge trees. Built in lavic stone, thatched roofed and each with a private veranda overlooking the river, the roomy and comfortable chalets are all fitted with en-suite bathroom, shower and hot current water, mosquito nets and ceiling fans. The lodge provides daily laundry service on request, e-mail and satellite telephone and is constantly radio-connected with its office in Lusaka.



Beyond Kariba Gorge, the Zambezi River flows through a wide and game-rich floodplain hemmed in by towering escarpments in both Zimbabwe and Zambia.  The shoreline in Zimbabwe has protected safari areas and Mana Pools National Park. Similarly the shoreline in Zambia has private conservancy areas, game management areas and the relatively unexplored Lower Zambezi National Park. This region is heavily populated by hippos and crocodiles - it's also renowned as a birder's paradise with over 300 species having been recorded and is favored by sports fishermen in search of the famous Tiger Fish.
