    This place was amazing! It was calm, clean and had a lot of lovely animals to observe from the room patios. They really paid attention to all of the details and I think it was the best hotel/accommodation I have ever stayed in.

    The lodge is situated in a beautiful game park, with a range of comfortable dining areas. We loved exploring the gardens around the chalets and the beautiful lawn, which welcomes a range of animals from time to time!

    A little hard to find but worth the effort. A calm oasis next to a chaotic city. Very friendly staff and reasonably good food. Nice spacious bungalows with pleasant terrace and view.

    This is an amazing destination close to Lusaka. Loved the location in the heart of nature. I came for just a few days to recuperate during a heavy work schedule and needed to turn my health around. The staff were amazing. Thank you team Lilayi.
