Is the King Lewanika for Me?

King Lewanika Lodge sits discreetly on the fringe of Liuwa Plain National Park in Zambia’s Upper Zambezi Flood Plains, offering an exclusive wilderness experience in one of Africa’s most remote safari destinations. The lodge comprises six luxury tents, including a family tent, accommodating a maximum of 15 guests.

Perched among magical pockets of woodland, each tent celebrates breathtaking views of the vast Liuwa Plain from private expansive verandas. The location provides front-row seats to Africa’s second-largest wildebeest migration and encounters with diverse predator species, while over 350 bird species soar overhead.

Days at King Lewanika unfold with game drives in Vista rooftop-seated vehicles, walking safaris, and canoe excursions. As night falls, stargazing sessions reveal pristine African skies. The experience extends beyond wildlife, with opportunities to witness the annual Kuomboka ceremony (water-level dependent) and visit nearby villages, offering authentic cultural immersion in this extraordinary corner of Zambia.
