Leopard Lodge Sunset

Leopard Lodge, Kafue National Park, Zambia

Leopard Lodge is a secluded family run game lodge on the banks of the Kafue River in a game management area surrounded by Zambia’s Kafue National Park.

The lodge comprises 5 individual thatched chalets and special arrangements can be made for camping. Most of the thatched brick-built chalets sleep 2 people, with en-suite facilities, but extra beds can be placed on the enclosed veranda. One chalet has 2 rooms sharing a shower, toilet & washbasin. Mosquito nets are provided for all beds, & there are braai facilities, and a fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove, fridge & freezer, cooking utensils and crockery.

A comprehensive refurbishment programme was undertaken during 2006/2007, which sees Leopard Lodge emerging as a secluded, charming and well equipped camp with glorious views of the Kafue River and plains.

The camp is self-catering at the moment. For now, flexibility is the watchword; beer, wine and food can be brought in with advance notice.

As you might expect, activities focus on fishing, boat cruises (sunset cruises), canoeing, birdwatching & game viewing on foot or by vehicle (including night drives). Some 4km from the camp is a natural hot spring, while the hill behind affords views over the surrounding area. There are also plans for scenic flights, microlights and a mini health spa.

Kafue River is perennial and is beautifully clean. The fishing is excellent (ask the fish eagles!)

Leopard Lodge is committed to conservation, protection of the environment and creation of opportunity for people from the local area. All building has been done by local craftsmen and even the tables, chairs and doors were made on site.

One of the advantages of staying at Leopard Lodge is that no bed levies (US$5/ppn) are payable. A US$15/ppd park entry fee is only payable the days that we enter the park. All the activities can be done without entering the park, but allow at least for two park entries for the period of your stay.

All other camps that are situated within the park needs to pay these fees daily.
