Overview

About Lolelunga Private Reserve

Lolelunga Private Reserve sits on the Lunga River north of Kafue National Park, with room for just 14 guests. Its rewilding work has brought cheetahs back to a landscape of woodland, plains and river habitat. Days combine game drives, guided walks and time on the water, while the lodge offers a riverside pool, gym and spa. King rooms, junior suites and a family suite have air-conditioning, minibars and private covered outdoor lounges. All meals, house wines, local spirits and laundry are included. Children of all ages are welcome, and the whole lodge is available for exclusive use.

“A small riverside lodge for families and wildlife enthusiasts who want to explore a rewilded reserve, with guided safaris balanced by a pool, gym and spa.”
