KASAKA RIVER LODGE

Kasaka River Lodge is a self catering lodge on the banks of the Zambezi River. The lodge is in the GMA but is a 5 minute drive from the park gate. This camp is the closest affordable lodge to the national park gate in Lower Zambezi.

There are 8 twin chalets (one additional bed can be added to the tented rooms) and the luxurious Hippo Pod House with 2 ensuite bedrooms and its own kitchen and swimming pool.

We offer catered packages that include activities if you prefer to be pampered.
