A hideaway on a private island on the banks of the Kwando River
Having the unique feature of only being accessed via boat, Kazile Island Lodge offers you an opportunity to momentarily escape everyday life in the subtropical Bwabwata National Park. The entire lodge operates on solar power, with each of the 13 Meru tents perched on wooden platforms within a mangosteen forest. Through exciting morning and afternoon game drives and boat cruises, nature enthusiasts can spend days spotting herds of elephants and buffalos roaming the wet Zambezi landscape. Guests can also visit Sijwa Island via boat cruise, a conservation initiative established by the African Monarch Lodges as part of their sustainability efforts. Here guests can walk through recycling workshops where waste is turned into beautiful artefacts for sale.
