The
Kasaka
River Lodge
lodge is a 16 bed luxury en-suite tented camp situated on private
property on the banks of the Zambezi River in Chiawa Game Management
Area a mere 4 kilometers by road from the Lower Zambezi National
Park – this is the only stretch on the 2,700 kilometer course of the
Zambezi River where one finds National Parks on both banks of the
river – the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia and the famed Mana
Pools World Heritage Site in Zimbabwe.
The Kasaka River Lodge is situated in a natural bush environment with each chalet
secluded amongst the native flora. The gardens around the lodge are
a colorful blend of indigenous plants with paths weaving from the
chalets to the pool, restaurant, library, and bar areas.
