Ila Safari Lodge
A pioneering eco-lodge in the Kafue National Park
Ila Safari Lodge
Families looking for luxury amenities alongside a commitment to eco-friendly practices should look no further than Ila Safari Lodge.
The lodge’s 10 luxury tents were all designed with the environment at the forefront, being built carefully around existing mature trees and mounted on private decks made out of environmentally friendly wood. The two-bedroom family suites are comfortable for groups of four or more and boast luxurious outdoor showers and baths as well as stunning views of the Kafue River.
Ila Safari Lodge’s pioneering ‘green’ approach extends to its activities as the camp was responsible for developing and operating Africa’s first electric game drive vehicle and boat. This allows families to embark on exciting game drives and picturesque sunset boat safaris free of guilt. Families can explore the wilderness on walking safaris, guided by expert trackers who can teach guests how to track wildlife through footprints and droppings. Fishing on the Kafue River offers a chance to catch the abundant bream, catfish, or the fierce tiger fish, making for a thrilling day on the water.
At Ila Safari Lodge, families can enjoy an unforgettable wildlife adventure, all while knowing their stay supports a sustainable future for Zambia’s pristine wilderness.
