The local culture and traditions will not pass you by either. And be prepared, because this location offers you one of the best panoramic views at the Luangwa river in the valley.

Zikomo safari lodge is well known on the Luangwa River. From here you can enjoy beautiful game drives that start through the Monjoti gate.

Katunula IslandsThe Lodge owes its name to its location at the beautiful Katunula lagoon. Katunula is not in the popular and busy area in Mfuwe, but in the pristine wilderness of Nsefu, which is home to a wealth of wildlife. The campsite is situated on a peninsula between the Katunula lagoon and two rivers, the Luangwa and the Lupande. The location offers an unforgettable panoramic view of the Luangwa River.
Zikomo Safari is in Zambia, across the river from South Luangwa National Park. It is set amidst an ancient valley filled with diverse African wildlife. This peaceful eco lodge in the African bush offers spacious accommodations: comfortable handcrafted chalets, or, if you are self-driving, an expansive campground on the riverbank.
