Mfuwe Lodge
Hidden away among the huge ebony and fig trees on the banks of a beautiful lagoon sits Mfuwe Lodge. Mfuwe Lodge bekons you to participate in an exceptional African experience... the rare opportunity to combine the adventure of a lifetime with standards of luxury, comfort and service totally unexpected in the bush.

| The open-plan design of Mfuwe's new structures keeps the comfort and relaxation of guests in mind, but also capitalises on the fact that an African wilderness experience is a blend of colours, textures, sounds, aromas and sights unmatched anywhere else in the world. The open plan central lodge facility incorporates reception, lounge, dining and bar areas, under a thatch roof supported by palm poles. The deck area in front of the lounge accommodates the swimming pool which also overlooks the main lagoon. In between game drives, walks and meals, guests may relax around the pool or in the library. |

Accommodation is provided in 18 open-plan chalets, each with en-suite bat hroom. One third of each chalet's perimeter can be opened, to allow the guest to enjoy the views, the sounds, the scents and the mood of the African wilderness. Each chalet has a large private deck overlooking one of the lagoons. The bathrooms have both bath and shower, with separate toilet. The bathing corner can be completely opened to offer guests an open-air bathing experience. Each room has a private bar. The thatched roof has been designed to guarantee maximum ventilation, even though all rooms on the lagoon are dramatically sheltered by huge ebony trees.

Near the north-eastern border of Zambia lies the Luangwa Valley - twice the size of Wales it supports one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife to be found anywhere in the world. The Luangwa River which meanders down the middle of this is the lifeblood of the wildlife. When the rivers flow is reduced in the high season and other streams and pools have given up their moisture to the thirsty tropical sun, the Luangwa attracts animals from far and wide. The Elephant have to balance the energy expenditure of long hikes to food sources against the imperative of daily refreshment at the riverside. Nearly every pool deep enough for a hippo to submerge will support several of the huge animals. Pods of several hundred hippo are not uncommon. |
