Zambia's Premier Forest & Stone Retreat
Two locations, two experiences, one commitment to comfort
Wake to the sound of flowing water. Our riverside suites offer private decks overlooking the Kafue River, where wildlife comes to drink at dawn and dusk.
Nestled within miombo woodland, these intimate cottages blend natural materials with modern comfort. Fall asleep to the rustle of leaves and chorus of night birds.
Spacious two-bedroom villas perfect for families or small groups. Includes living area, kitchenette, and private garden with river access.
