Musungwa Safari Lodge

The reception from Christabel was very welcoming. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. The electricity was intermittent (a problem all over Zambia due to Kariba Hydroelectric generation only being 10% capacity due to drought). David in the bar was very good at communicating and knowing I like a cool Castle beer, he had an ample supply in the fridge. The view across the lake is spectacular, seeing the fishermen in the morning. This is a classic Safari Lodge in the Old Style with billowing breezes in the evening and beautiful wood carvings throughout the property. Paintings and crafts by local artisans cover the walls of the public areas and each room. The entrance to Kafue National Park is 2 km away. Elephants , monkeys and Impala roam the property and there is a delightful harmony with nature. There is nothing ostentatious about the property, no TV's blaring, no loud music, nature does it all.

The intermittent electricity meant the fans did not always function and phone charging could be a problem. From the website it is not clear how much a stay will cost. We never received a breakdown of the costs of food and drinks for our 3 day visit. There seemed to be 3 different charges and Plans 1. International + full breakfast 2. International + continental breakfast. 3. National rates and plans. We were told we had only paid for a Continental Breakfast when we arrived, but then we were told we could have a Full English Breakfast and that our Plan included Dinner each night. In fact I believe we paid for dinners. This was somewhat confusing and should be clarified. Letting visitors know what is included and Not Included would be better

The lodge was fantastic. It overlooks the Itezhi Tezhi reservoir. The staff was fantastic. Food was great and it was a great stay!

To me, the friendliness of and support by the staff was outstanding. Given the limitations of the property, the stay was a real pleasure.

The outdoor furniture and the fact that it overlooks the reservoir

Nothing really

Musungwa Safari Lodge is paradise. Beautiful scenery, Itezhi tezhi - enchanting sunset with the lake, pleasant and quiet environment, it is a remote area in Zambia, the environment is not polluted and it is a good place, but it is far away, the accommodation - the building is old and worn, but the sincerity They do offer room service, I stayed there for 7 days and it was really nice and comfortable. This is a place I would like to stay again if I get the chance. I paid for the accommodation with a credit card.

Musungwa Safari Lodge is also in the remotest part of Zambia. I went from Livingstone to Musungwa Safari Lodge and back to Livingstone. I fell into the sand. Musungwa Safari Lodge needs detailed information on the route. Google Maps showed the route, but it was not the right route.

Superb location overlooking the lake with an excellent pool. Accomodation and restaurant/bar very good. Staff excellent. right next to the park gate.

A liitle unprepared for our late arrival.

Beautiful location, luxurious feel. Wild animals running around. Great facilities.

Some staff were tips and commission obsessed.
