Easter may be drawing to a close, but the chance to take a break doesn’t have to end with the holiday.

Here at the cottages, the river is still rising and flowing in full force, bringing that wonderful sense of life and energy to the banks. The pool is waiting, the gardens are green, and the peaceful rhythm of the river continues.

Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee overlooking the water, a lazy afternoon by the pool, or simply time to switch off and breathe a little deeper, the cottages are always here for a restorative escape.

Whenever you’re ready for your next break, we’ll be waiting.

The Eastern region of Zambia is home to many National Parks, Game Management Areas, and Forests. It is anchored by the Luangwa Valley, which is one of Africa’s most pristine wildlife areas.

South Luangwa National Park:
In our opinion, this is one of the best game parks in Africa, famous for walking safaris. Here exist large numbers of hippos, crocodiles, leopards, wild dogs, elephants and many more!

North Luangwa National Park:
This Park is as remote as you can get! It offers unique wilderness experiences with very few camps. It is home to a successful black rhino reintroduction program.

Chipata:
The provincial capital and gateway to Malawi.

Mfuwe:
The main launch point for South Luangwa. It hosts an international airport, a bank and a variety of lodges.

When to Visit?
Dry Season (May to October):
This is the best time for wildlife viewing because animals hang around water sources, and because the bush is thinner, it is easier to sight wildlife.

North-Western Zambia is known for its huge mining industry, but for adventurers, it offers an opportunity to experience remote wilderness and cultural heritage.

It hosts the source of the mighty Zambezi River which is Africa's fourth-longest river and it is a great escape for locals and internationals seeking adventure beyond the usual tourist circuits.

Source of the Zambezi: Located near Ikelenge, a small spring marks the beginning of the mighty Zambezi River that makes its way 2,700km to the Indian Ocean.

Kifubwa Stream Rock Shelter:
Located near Solwezi, these shelters contain prehistoric engravings combined with red pigment, carbon-dated to between 6,000 and 6,500 years ago.

Rivers, Waterfalls & Rapids:
The province hosts among others, the Nyambwezu Falls, Mutanda Falls, and several rapids along the Zambezi River. Kabompo River is one of the deepest rivers in the country. Fishing opportunities abound in the various water bodies.

While less developed for tourism than other parts of Zambia, the region offers some wildlife encounters.

West Lunga National Park: Located between the Kabompo and West Lunga Rivers. This park is on the road to revival with serious conservation efforts underway.

Busanga Plains (Northern Kafue):
The northern sector of Kafue National Park extends into North Western Province.

History, Culture, and Art:
The province features unique experiences such as:

Likumbi lya Mize:
A UNESCO-recognized festival famous for its Makishi masks and traditional dances.

Lunda Lubanza:
A grand ceremony that honours ancestral migration.

Nsanshi Art:
In Solwezi, this women-run workshop produces artworks and supports local female empowerment.

The best time to explore the North Western region is during the dry season (April to October) because many remote roads can become impassable in the rainy season.
