From the very first moment when we saw giraffes and elephants on the way to Kafunta from the Mfuwe airport to our last glimpse of the Luwangwa river from the plane as we left the whole experience was exceptional. The Kufunta team at the lodge were very welcoming and professional. The lodge and chalets were exceptionally comfortable, all having magnificent... More

I highly recommend Kafunta. The accommodation is excellent. Take your bathers as they have a natural hot spar pool with a view of the flood plain and the passing animals, its wonderful to relax in. Our guide, Martin was exceptional, he has a wonderful sense of humour and showed us lots of animals. Just when we thought it could not... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our month in Africa but our 10 days at Kafunta River Lodge were the absolute highlight. The lodge is situated on the floodplain of the Luangawa River which forms the eastern boundary of South Luangawa National Park which is regarded as one of Africa's best. After a one hour flight from from Lusaka anda 45 minute drive... More

Dont waste your money and time. There are much better places to stay in the Valley. Bad food Bad service Bad treatment of staff. They cound not make this place worse if they tried.
