Escape. Relax.

Welcome to Kanyemba

Kanyemba Lodge strives to provide a haven in which to enjoy the beauty and activities on offer in the Lower Zambezi.  Catering for a maximum of 20 guests, the lodge comprises 6 air conditioned stone and thatch “rondavel” chalets, each with their own large private deck overlooking the Zambezi River, full en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. 

In addition, we offer a Family Unit, comprising three separate air conditioned suites – each with their own private entrance and en-suite bathrooms.  The suites share a large deck area overlooking the Zambezi.

Stunning en-suite bathrooms comprise state-of-the-art fittings, including rain showers, and bright mirror lighting. Chalets also include spacious walk in wardrobes with ample shelving, hanging rails, digital safe, and plenty of room for storage. All chalets have 220V electricity (mains with full generator backup), ceiling fans, and canopy mosquito netting.

Overlooking the river, the all new restaurant and bar allow spacious & relaxed dining.  Our new pizza oven provides guests with another dimension – watch our chefs create your artisan pizzas in just minutes.  Meanwhile upstairs, guests can relax and enjoy the extensive library and spacious lounge with a view across the river – the perfect space to while away the afternoon!

Each evening guests are treated to Kanyemba Lodge’s famous cuisine under the branches of a giant wild Mango Tree.  With a distinctly Italian influence, our team of chefs will wow your palate at the same time as the “Kanyemba Chorus” of hyena, frogs, and of course the odd lion, will wow your mind. 

We also have a swimming pool beautifully situated on the banks of the river, with built-in benches that allow a retreat from the hotter hours of the day - whilst sipping a G&T and watching the elephants on the opposite bank.
