Nestled along the banks of the Kafue River – deep in the heart of nature – Hippo Lodge offers a deeply relaxing environment
Accommodation consists of 6 individual stone built thatched Chalets, & 2 classic safari tents, all en-suite.
Chalets are uniquely positioned to either overlook the river or surrounding wilderness with its wildlife.
Our Bush cuisine is prepared by trained chefs and served either on the open wooden deck overlooking the river or in the thatched & cozy dining area.
A well stocked bar is on offer to quench your thirst, as you watch the sun go down or have a dip in our swimming pool.
Both chalets offer all the amenities of the lodge as well as self-catering facilities on request
All chalets are equipped with solar lamps and hot water is provided by solar geysers. Charge points are available in each chalet.
The camp is fully solar powered and lit through a combination of stand alone lighting and charging sytems or via direct connection to the main solar powered inverter system, thereby reducing the environmental impact.
