King Lewanika Lodge sits within Liuwa Plain National Park, a vast and windswept landscape where open grasslands stretch to the horizon and the sense of scale is immediate. Liuwa is one of Zambia’s most remote parks, with very few visitors, and the lodge reflects this feeling of isolation. Its design is understated and comfortable, offering a welcome sense of refuge in a place where the environment itself is the main draw.
Wildlife viewing in Liuwa is shaped by seasonality rather than constant density. The park is known for its annual wildebeest migration, the second largest in Africa, as well as for hyena populations, which are particularly strong here. Lions are present, though sightings are more unpredictable, reinforcing the feeling of exploration rather than certainty. Game drives cover wide areas, often without seeing another vehicle, and allow guests to engage with the landscape at its own pace.
What we appreciate most about King Lewanika Lodge is how it supports an experience rooted in patience and observation. Time here is not about ticking off species but about understanding a place that still feels largely untouched. Evenings are quiet, shaped by vast skies and open plains, and the overall rhythm encourages reflection. For travelers drawn to rare wilderness, minimal crowds, and a safari that feels genuinely exploratory, King Lewanika Lodge offers a singular and memorable experience.
King Lewanika Lodge is recommended for its location in the remote Liuwa Plain National Park and its access to one of Africa’s least-visited large-scale wildlife landscapes. It offers a refined base from which to experience a park defined by space, solitude, and seasonal movement.
