Leopard Lodge is a secluded, family-run game lodge on the banks of the Kafue River in a game management area surrounded by Zambia's Kafue National Park.
The lodge consists of 5 individually thatched chalets and special arrangements can be made for camping. Most of the thatched brick-built chalets sleep 2 people, with en-suite facilities.
A comprehensive refurbishment programme was undertaken during 2006/2007, which saw Leopard Lodge emerging as a charming and well-equipped camp with glorious views of the Kafue River and plains.
As you might expect, activities focus on fishing, boat cruises, bird watching & game viewing on foot or by vehicle (incl. night drives). Some 4km from the camp is a natural hot spring, while the hill behind affords views over the surrounding area. There are also future plans for scenic flights, micro light flights, sunset cruises & a mini health spa.
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.
A great way to explore the bush is at dusk when nocturnal wildlife begins to emerge.
River cruises offer a different perspective on the bush and can be the only means of transport during rainy season!
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.
