Kafunta River Lodge
About the Lodge
Kafunta River Lodge is strategically located overlooking a game-rich floodplain on the edge of the Luangwa River and South Luangwa National Park. Kafunta River Lodge offers exceptional wildlife viewing in one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations with a central lounge and dining area, shaded by an ancient mango tree.
Guests here can relax in comfort while watching wildlife move across the plains spending evenings around the campfire, sharing stories from the day’s safari, or enjoying candlelit dinners and sundowners on the spacious wooden decks.
Recently, Kafunta River Lodge introduced The Sunset House, an exclusive three-bedroom safari retreat ideal for families or small groups seeking a more private stay. Kafunta River Lodge includes a pontoon providing access across the Luangwa River to more distant areas of the park.
The pontoon operates from late April through to the end of the dry season. Highly qualified and experienced guides lead game drives and walking safaris, sharing their deep knowledge of the region’s wildlife, ecology and landscapes.
Guests can unwind at the lodge’s infinity pool or soak in its unique natural hot spring, both offering sweeping views over the river and surrounding plains — perfect for a restful afternoon or a relaxing end to the day. Additional facilities include a small spa offering massages and a photographic hide overlooking the floodplain.
