Lolelunga Private Reserve · Lunga River

Here moments are personal, and nature is infinite… a sanctuary crafted for you

Welcome to a place where wilderness meets wonder

Experience the exhilarating freedom of Africa in the remote seclusion of northern Zambia, 30km north of Kafue National Park.

Witness the magnificent sight of the recently reintroduced cheetahs in the wild, spot the Sitatunga, a unique Zambian antelope, and explore the wonders of the Lunga River's clear waters where spotted-neck river otters frolic, crocodiles and monitor lizards bask, hippos nap and elephants splash. Spend a night under the stars on the Ngoma Deck and set your own pace for each day at this private reserve.
