Hippo Lodge
My Safari
Hippo Lodge is situated along the banks of the Kafue River in Kafue National Park. Two types of accommodation are offered, depending on preference and availability, in thatched chalets or safari tents. All the accommodation has been uniquely designed and framed with exquisite views of the Kafue River and its surrounds.
Activities at Hippo Lodge include walking safaris, game drives on extensive loops of bush tracks east of the river, and river and fishing cruises on the Kafue River. More unusual activities include a trip to the nearby hot-water spring for an outdoor jacuzzi with a difference and trips to the National Heritage Site of the old Hippo Mine, Zambia's first copper mine that shut down in 1973.
We think any opportunity to step outside the cosseted realm of the safari goer and into the real Africa should be taken if at all possible.
We can arrange fishing tours for both experienced fly fishermen and beginners. Many lodges offer fishing as an activity - notably in the Lower Zambezi.
The main attraction of most safaris is the wildlife - find out what to expect here.
River cruises offer a different perspective on the bush and can be the only means of transport during rainy season!
The only way to get truly acquainted with the African bush is to see it on foot. Walking safaris offer a unique insight into an amazing habitat.
There are many lodges and hotels in Africa that positively encourage families with young children to stay - find out more by clicking here.
Just because it may rain doesn't mean you can't enjoy a magical safari at a time with few visitors and stunning scenery.
