Chaminuka is a luxury lodge located on a hill over-
looking Chitoka Lake. Only 45 minutes outside Lu-
saka, Chaminuka is a perfect safari retreat for the
day or weekend. It is famous for its impressive art
collection, which can be found throughout the lodge,
restaurant and garden.
The real ‘Bush Bedroom’ at Chaminuka Lodge
Chaminuka has the largest private game reserve in
the country with 72 species of wildlife including el-
ephants, giraffes, lions, antelopes, zebra, and many
more. Walking, driving and horse riding safaris are
available. The lodge’s swimming pool and Jacuzzi in
the garden are a delightful way to cool off from the
hot African sun.
The lodge has thirty separate suites, each with en-
suite bathroom and air conditioning. They are all el-
egantly decorated in a fusion of contemporary and
traditional African themes. In-room amenities include
TV, Mini-bars, safes and hairdryers. Chaminuka also
offers free valet and laundry service, Nanny and
babysitting services, health and beauty treatment,
broadband internet access and cellular and land line
telephone access.
For business events and private functions, Chaminu-
ka provides unique conferencing and wedding facili-
ties with fully equipped conference rooms and an el-
egant dining room for private functions. This makes it
the perfect venue, away from the hustle and bustle of
Lusaka, in a peaceful and secluded setting.
Chaminuka also has several ‘Insakas’ – village
style lounge areas – where guests can relax in pri-
vate, enjoying the glorious panoramic views across
Chaminuka’s African Eden, which melts into the wil-
derness beyond. Sundown cocktails are served at
the Lupili Insaka and Deck, overlooking Lake Chi-
toka, from where you can watch some of the most
glorious sunsets of Africa.
Chaminuka has many activities on offer that cater
to their guests’ schedules. They have impressive
Game Drives (morning, afternoon and evening
drives in open top safari vehicles, conducted by
qualified guides), Bush Walks, Horseback Safaris,
Fishing and Boating, Bird watching (more than 300
species of birdlife have been recorded in the area),
and visits to local villages, schools, churches and the
Kaposhi cheese factory ending at the “Cave” with a
Wine and Cheese tasting.
Using as many organic, locally grown products as
possible, Chaminuka’s food is a combination of the
best international cuisine, transformed into a Zambi-
an culinary delight. Lunch is served by the swimming
pool. It is a barbeque and buffet offering a mixture of
influences – French, Italian, Greek, Eastern Mediter-
ranean and Oriental cuisine. It provides an array of
dishes to satisfy all tastes.
Dinner is served in the terraced restaurant and offers
a variety of Zambian game dishes along with inter-
national dishes. Vegetarians and those with special
dietary needs can be individually catered for.
Do not miss this luxurious and intimate Zambian
game and river lodge!
