Safari Lodge Zambia | Mwambashi River Lodge

 

Mwambashi River Lodge is situated in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park on the northern banks of the river, directly opposite Chikwenya Island and the eastern boundary of the Mana Pools National Park in Zambia.

The Lower Zambezi National Park is a relatively unexplored National Park in Zambia being less known than the likes of the Luangwa and the Kafue.  Mwambashi is approximately 4000 km sq in extent and is situated in the Lower Zambezi, the Chongwe River forming the western boundary (opposite Mana Pools Head Quarters) and the Musensenshi River forming the eastern boundary.  The park has become more and more popular to tourists wanting to visit the Zambezi River and the incredible wildlife and the area affords.

ACCOMMODATION

 Mwambashi lodge accommodates a maximum of 16 guests in large walk-in safari tents on wooden platforms with en suite toilet, shower and hand basin.  The central dining area is on a raised platform under thatch with an open balcony overlooking the river.  There is a bar and toilet on the ground level under the same thatched room.  The lodge is sold on an all-inclusive basis, with the exception of National Parks Entry fee. 

WILDLIFE

Mwambashi River Lodge has the greatest wildlife opportunities.  The Lower Zambezi National Park is home to large herds of elephant and buffalo and lion are common.  Regular plains game sightings include kudu, zebra, impala, warthog, bushbuck and baboons.  There are large pods of hippo in the river directly in front of the lodge, as well as crocodile.  Night drives are an option at Mwambashi and leopard, hyena, porcupine, civet, genet and honeybadger are commonly sighted.  Wild dog and Cheetah do occur in the Lower Zambezi National Park, but are not common sightings.  The diversity of birdlife is impressive.
