Wasa Lodge

Top choice in Zambia


Doubling as the park headquarters, accommodation here consists of thatched bungalows overlooking Lake Wasa. Larger chalets are airy and cool with wide balconies and lovely stone showers. There are multiple vantage points – including the deck of the large bar and dining area – to look out over the swamp to spot hippos, puku and sometimes even sitatungas.

If you don’t want the full board option you can bring your own supplies and the camp staff will cook for you, which makes a stay here great value.
