Lodge Key Features

Remote / photography

King Lewanika is the only permanent lodge in Liuwa, from the sprawling rolling landscapes to the extensive wildlife it is one of the few places you can have incredible landscape and wildlife photography. With backdrops of stormy skies over grassy fields, shadowed outlines of the unique antelope species against sunsets all make for the perfect shots of contrasted beauty. The beauty of the place is how undiscovered it is, as there is just one lodge here it remains in its wild untouched state offering stunning opportunities to explore unseen areas.

Wildlife

It will come as no surprise that African Parks has stepped in to help protect this unique and special area. Time + Tide have a long history of being heavily involved in conservation projects at all their locations and King Lewanika is no exception. Helping bring tourism to the area to promote the increasing wildlife and looking after the local people, these two power houses of conservation joined forces to make sue this secret savannah remains at its wildest best. With a big effort on lion conservation the population is now much healthier than a few years ago when there was just one lonely female on the plains who after 17 long years of ruling the plains sadly passed away in 2017.

Due to its massive size and open plains there are great populations of cheetah and wild dog as well as the huge herds of plains game…it is quite amazing to come across these massive herds on the horizon! From some rare species such as the serval and incredible bird life it is the place to find unique and rare wildlife.

Lodge

Built by the same architect of Chinzombo, King Lewanika keeps all the opulence of its sister camp with the charm of canvas walls in keeping with the bush surroundings. The sweeping villas take inspiration from the surrounding plains with uninterrupted views of the vast plains. Each tent is slightly raised to ensure you are above some of the areas wetlands which only adds to its charm. From huge indoor and outdoor bathrooms, to the large beds, decking and areas to relax between drives it really is a special place.
