Lusaka & Lilalyi Lodge

Lilayi Lodge, only 20 minutes drive from Lusaka, provides the ideal setting to begin and end your safari. Set in a 700 hectare game ranch the lodge offers luxurious accommodations close to Zambia's capital city.

The Lodge is designed in traditional style with thatched chalets, one of which accommodates the lounge, bar, and dining area. Set in very attractive parkland with a sparkling pool, the lodgeis designed for comfort and relaxation with particular attention to excellent cuisine and service.

A stay at the Lodge will give you the opportunity to see up to sixteen varieties of antelope from the ubiquitous Impala and Waterbuck, the more common Puku, Eland and Kudu or the rarer Roan and Sable Antelope. The game farm also has Giraffe. These can be tracked on foot or viewed from our specially adapted safari vehicles. You are bound to see the picturesque Burchell’s Zebra and a lucky night drive might surprise Civet, Serval or Porcupine, or, if you are very lucky, Aardvark or Pangolin.

The habitat is original Miombo or Mungu woodland with open areas reverting to Acacia or Bauhenia. This, along with two large dams, supports a prolific bird population – over 300 species have been identified including woodland, wetland and grassland species, many raptors and a range of migrants. Bird calls in the early morning and evening are a delight, particularly Heuglin’s Robin, Turaco, Cuckoo, Guinea Fowl and Francolin.
