Own a Profitable Lodge in the Zambezi Region.

Set on the banks of a flood-plain lake adjacent to the Zambezi River, a unique wooded property attracting many species of birdlife and small wildlife.

This “3-star”, 12-room tourist lodge comprises 10 separate en-suite, air-conditioned rooms (5 x brick under corrugated iron construction and 5 x canvas over gumpole but under corrugated iron roof construction) and 2 x budget tents with their own ablutions, a separate 2-bedroom owners house and a single room managers house.
These rooms are serviced by a lapa (kitchen, bar, dining and lounge area), a guest toilet block and an office/shop/reception building.
There is a small 4 “position” lawned campsite (set back from the lake) which uses a communal ablution facility.
The lodge has a small (30 person) fully equipped conference/workshop facility situated behind the campsite ablutions (used for Conference Guests).
There is a fully equipped SPA with single person facilities.
