KANYEMBA LODGE
Completely
surrounded by nature and situated on the banks of the famous Zambezi River,
with just a few small villages inhabited by the Goba tribe nearby, Kanyemba
Lodge is an exclusive relaxing spot designed to board up to only fifteen
people at a time.
Although respectful of local tradition and deeply immersed in the surrounding
nature, this small lodge was planned following highly innovative techniques,
with the use of natural materials and paying careful attention to the
smallest details in order to provide the comfort and well-being characteristic
of an angle of paradise.
The central building enriched with a wonderful patio, lodges the dining
room, the bar, a lounge and a library housing interesting books about
nature and local traditions. In the heat of the day you can choose to
relax in the pool, swimming or just sipping a cocktail while watching
the lazy sleep of the hippoes in the river. The lodge provides daily laundry
service on request, e-mail and satellite telephone and is constantly radio-connected
with its office in Lusaka.
THE CHALETS
Built of natural materials, they blend in perfectly with the surroundings, providing extreme comfort in the warmer months and a very high level of privacy throughout your stay. Each chalet has it's own private verandah overlooking the Zambezi River, where early morning teas and espresso coffees or cuppacinos are delivered at the time of your specified wake up call.
Each chalet has been beautifully decorated using local art, and the stunning ensuite bathrooms include state-of-the-art fittings and bright mirror lighting. Chalets also include a walk in robe with shelving, hanging rails, and room for storage.
All chalets have 220 V electricity, ceiling fans, and mosquito netting.
CUISINE
Kenyamba Lodge's award winnning chef, Edson, mingles a traditional Italian Cuisine with the freshest and most typical local ingredients. The day starts with a sumptuous buffet breakfast served in the patio overlooking the breathtaking African dawn. When spending the day at the lodge, you will be served lunch on the terrace while in the evening a three course dinner will be arranged around a nice warm fire under the African stars.
