King Lewanika
About the hotel
King Lewanika Lodge is set in Zambia’s Liuwa Plain National Park. As one of the very few lodges in the park, it offers rare exclusivity and access to one of Africa’s most untouched landscapes. Liuwa is known for the continent’s second-largest wildebeest migration and an abundant wildlife population that includes cheetahs, wild dogs, lions and an enormous hyena clan. The lodge features six luxurious tented villas, including one family villa. All accommodation is built on raised platforms, with sweeping views across the savannah and the chance to spot wildlife from your tent. Expect stylish interiors, en-suite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, and generous private verandas. The lodge’s main building offers an elegant lounge and dining room that blend seamlessly into the surrounding wilderness.
Kids & Teens
Children are warmly welcomed at the camp. Alongside the daily safaris, younger guests will love discovering birdwatching, while sleeping under the stars is always a great source of excitement.
Experiences & Activities
Activities include day and night game drives, guided walking safaris, cultural visits to Lozi communities and canoe trips. The lodge is especially suited to photographers and nature lovers eager to discover pristine landscapes and rare wildlife. Dining experiences include local gourmet dishes, perhaps served beneath the stars.

King Lewanika
in our eyes
Liuwa Plain National Park is one of southern Africa’s least-known protected areas and, for that very reason, a true hidden gem, still only lightly developed. That means there are no convoys of safari vehicles and no second or third row at sightings — only the full experience of untouched nature. Particularly in May and November, when wildebeest and zebra herds begin their migrations, you can look forward to truly unforgettable game drives.
Best time to travel
The best time to visit Liuwa Plain is from November to mid-December, when Africa’s impressive second-largest wildebeest migration takes place. At this time, thousands of wildebeest and other animals move into the open grasslands. November is particularly ideal, as seasonal flooding transforms the landscape into a wetland paradise and draws abundant wildlife.
During the dry season from May to October, water levels are lower and wildlife concentrations around the reMayning water sources increase, also allowing for excellent safari experiences.

Destination region
Liuwa Plain
Liuwa Plain, a remote national park in western Zambia, is known for its untouched wilderness, spectacular wildlife migrations and vast grassland landscapes. This captivating region offers families the perfect blend of adventure, nature and seclusion.
The breathtaking migration – the second largest in Africa – sees vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and antelope sweeping across the plains, creating an unforgettable spectacle for children and adults alike. Game drives offer the chance to observe predators such as lions and hyenas in their natural habitat. For adventurous families, guided walking safaris offer the opportunity for both parents and children to learn more about the region’s flora and fauna. Another highlight is a visit to traditional Lozi villages, where families can gain deeper insight into the culture and way of life of the local people. Birdwatchers, too, will be richly rewarded, as Liuwa Plain is a paradise for countless bird species.
