Established Riverfront Safari Lodge – Lower Zambezi
An established and operational safari lodge occupying approximately 8.74 hectares (21.6 acres) on the banks of the Kafue River, close to its confluence with the Zambezi River.
The property offers approximately 207 metres of river frontage and combines six furnished guest cottages/villas with a restaurant, swimming pool, reception and administrative facilities, camping facilities, staff accommodation and supporting infrastructure.
The lodge is already operating as a tourism business and has benefited from substantial recent investment, including refurbishment of the existing accommodation and communal areas and the construction and furnishing of two new guest units.
Its position in the Lower Zambezi tourism region provides access to a well-established market for safari accommodation, boating, fishing, camping and other river-based activities.

Location & Investment Appeal
---------------------------
The property combines a substantial riverfront site with an established operating lodge and existing tourism infrastructure in the Lower Zambezi, one of Zambia's principal safari and river-tourism destinations.
The Lower Zambezi has seen continued growth in tourism, while government infrastructure programmes have identified the area as a priority tourism destination, including planned investment in road and other supporting infrastructure.
Riverfront development land in the area is limited, giving the property the additional attraction of approximately 207 metres of Kafue River frontage alongside an established hospitality operation.
The lodge therefore offers a prospective purchaser a combination of existing accommodation income, developed tourism infrastructure, significant recent capital investment and a sizeable riverfront landholding, rather than a greenfield development opportunity.
Key Features at a Glance:
• 8.74 hectares / 21.6 acres
• approximately 207 m river frontage
• six furnished cottages/villas
• restaurant and commercial kitchen
• swimming pool
• three campsites
• reception and offices
• separate shop
• staff accommodation
• borehole and water storage
• mains electricity plus solar
• 2 x leasehold titles
