LOWOMBWA
LODGE
- Kasanka National Park
Located on the banks of the Luwombwa River in
the western half of the park nearer the airstrip, this lodge
has also recently been upgraded with the addition of new
ensuite chalets overlooking the river. Some of these are
family chalets with 4 beds in each.
Some older chalets with separate bathrooms
are also available.
The
prime attraction of Luwombwa Lodge must be the river. Unlike
most safari river trips, the Luwombwa is a gentle meandering
stream heavily fringed with evergreen forest. Birdwatching
can be great with African Finfoot, Narina Trogon and Pel’s
Fishing Owl all regularly seen, not to mention kingfishers,
bee-eaters, sunbirds and ibises.
For
fishermen a special permit is available allowing you to
catch Bream (Tilapia), Barbel Fish and sometimes the much
sought after tigerfish. Motor boats and canoes with guides
are available at the lodge.
Luwombwa also has nearby gameviewing,
noteably at the Chikufwe Plain where the airstrip is
located, and Reedbuck, duikers, Lichenstein’s hartebeast and
Sable antelope are often seen
