A private reserve · the founding story
LOLELUNGA PRIVATE RESERVE
a wilderness given the rare chance to heal
Welcome to a place where wilderness meets wonder
Experience the exhilarating freedom of Africa in the remote seclusion of northern Zambia, 30km north of Kafue National Park.
Witness the magnificent sight of the recently reintroduced cheetahs in the wild, spot the Sitatunga, a unique Zambian antelope, and explore the wonders of the Lunga River's clear waters where spotted-neck river otters frolic, crocodiles and monitor lizards bask, hippos nap and elephants splash. Spend a night under the stars on the Ngoma Deck and set your own pace for each day at this private reserve.
The Lodge
Welcome to a place where wilderness meets wonder
Lolelunga does not ask you to become anything, it simply allows you to return. To a quieter pace, a deeper presence, a more instinctive way of being. Here, the shift is not dramatic, but certain, felt in moments, in stillness, in the spaces in between.
Here moments are personal, and nature is infinite… a sanctuary crafted for you

Rooted in experiences
Endless beauty
Thirty thousand hectares held for one small camp. The reserve is the amenity — the forest, the swamp, the plain and thirteen kilometres of clear river.
Intimately yours
It is the rhythm of this place that carries you — the slow arc of the sun, the hum of cicadas, the gentle pull of the river as it moves without urgency. Nothing asks this of you, and yet everything invites it.
Where the land is sacred
Lodge experiences
A landscape reclaiming itself through the human touch
Lolelunga is a wilderness sanctuary spanning 30,000 hectares and 13km of river frontage. It delivers an intimate and private contemporary safari experience tailored for exclusive use by couples, individuals, groups or families. The spacious riverside suites offer a secluded haven to relax in, while the guest area has a serene rim-flow pool on the riverbank, a dining area overlooking the mesmerising Lunga River, a fully equipped gym, and a well-appointed spa.
Lolelunga provides endless opportunities to be immersed in nature through its offer of game drives or walking safaris through the surrounding forests, swamplands and plains, or via exploring our environment through water safaris on the Lunga River. The Ngoma Deck can be booked for private dining or a sleepout experience, adding a touch of exclusivity to your stay.

The Lunga River defines our rhythms and the life of our lodge
We did not tame this land. We listened to it.
Our low-impact lodges sit lightly in prime game-viewing country, where conservation is not a feature but the foundation. Days are paced to the rhythm of nature — the slow arc of the sun, the hum of cicadas, the pull of the river as it moves without urgency.
Lodge experiences →
A night of intimate wonder. Sleep under the open African skies.
The Ngoma Deck sits alone above the river. Book it for a private dinner, or stay the night in a bed made up beneath the stars with nothing between you and the sky.
Your guide stays within call, the lanterns burn low, and the reserve carries on around you until first light.
