The lodge's central feature is a spacious bar and dining area, traditionally thatched and built around a semi-evergreen wild mango tree, offering stunning panoramic views of the Luangwa River and the national park. Exceptional game viewing and bird watching can be enjoyed right from the lodge.
The minimum age is 6 years (younger children on request only).
Next to the bar, guests can unwind in the only natural hot spring tub in the Luangwa Valley or the refreshing infinity pool, both offering magnificent views over the floodplains. The hot tub, unique to the region, maintains a constant 38-degree temperature, sourced from Kafunta’s grounds.
Kafunta Lodge offers a variety of activities, including game drives (morning, afternoon, and night), bush walks, village and cultural tours, and a wellness spa. Added in late 2023, The Sunset House, a private tented villa with three en-suite bedrooms, caters perfectly to families or small groups seeking a more secluded and flexible lodging experience.
Kafunta River Lodge offers a variety of accommodation options to suit different preferences and needs.
The Kafunta Standard Chalet includes eight twin-bedded rooms, each featuring an en-suite bathroom, a minibar fridge, a ceiling fan, and a private verandah with stunning views of the floodplains.
A more secluded experience is offered by the Kafunta Luxury Suite. These two suites are located further from the main dining area and each features a ground-floor double bed. The suites include a large bathroom with a shower, a separate standalone bath, a viewing deck, and an additional upstairs deck that overlooks the floodplains. These suites can accommodate a family of up to four and are available for a small additional fee.
Additionally, Kafunta River Lodge operates two remote camps:
A satellite bush camp positioned further south on the banks of the Luangwa River, Island Bush Camp offers a more intimate connection with nature.
The newest addition to Kafunta Safaris, opened in 2017, Three Rivers Camp features five sophisticated tents, each with its own sleep-out deck.
Dining is a delightful experience tailored to enhance your stay. Guests can start their day with a light breakfast before embarking on morning activities or enjoy a cooked breakfast if they choose to stay in camp. Later, a buffet lunch is served, providing a variety of options to suit different tastes.
Dinner at Kafunta is an elegant four-course meal served on the main deck, with direct views of the stunning floodplains. While dining is typically hosted, private tables can be arranged to accommodate personal preferences or special occasions.
The lodge also caters to special dietary needs, ensuring that all guests have a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.
Guests can book a massage at the spa or maintain their fitness routines in the lodge's gym. The gym is equipped with a selection of equipment, including treadmills and bikes, catering to all levels of fitness enthusiasts.

Lindi Weeks - Thank you!!!
Lindi Weeks has been assisting us in planning a 4 day safari in the Klaserie Game Reserve. She has been so amazing, assisting us so beautifully with all the decisions to be made. She fell ill with tonsilitis and not even this stopped her from taking calls to answer all our silly questions, even after hours!! We thank you, Lindi and appreciate you. Onika Amell

Lindi Weeks, our luxury safari consultant from Safari.com, went above and beyond helping us lay out a very complicated trip I was asking for. Between 2 helicopters and 3 private planes we save 2 days stuck in airports. I will defiantly always use them to book my Africa adventures. Todd
