Lake Safari Lodge

Lake Safari Lodge is a wonderful place to stay in Siavonga. We had a great time by the pool, eating the lovely food (there's something for everyone) and the views over the lake are incredible. We had a 180 degree view of the lake from our bedroom. The coffee is also the best I've had in Zambia, and we took back coffee beans to have at home.

Travelled for a family vacation with other couples towards end of March 2024 during holidays. We were received well with the reception staff making us feel at home. The rooms were very clean and tidy. The food was very good and surroundings very appealing. They have two nice swimming pools-one for guests and another for the general public. Somehow water is warmer in the evening and it was very enjoyable swimming in the evening. Enjoyed a private sunset cruise organised by the lodge. It was beautiful-the highlight of our stay. Our kids had a lot of fan. We were nicely supprised!!! The photos on the website do not tell half the story.

Lake Safari Lodge is a majestic place to stay in Siavonga. In terms of rooms, views and location it is excellent. We arrived on 26 December and sadly the room had no water or coffees and milks upon arrival. They did bring it to us once we said something. Then when we went to take a jacuzzi the geyser was off and no hot water was available that first night. This was rectified on day 2. The service in restaurant certainly needs some upgrading. The waiters are uninformed and speak back to customers when we specifically requested to speak to a manager. Wine bottles were opened before they arrived at our table. The food was average and I did expect better. Lake Kariba Inns is a far better place to eat with friendly, informed waiters and waitresses.Generally I would recommend Lake Safari Lodge as a place of choice in Siavonga and I would return. They just need to work on the restaurant service to get that back to standard. The room service however was good. If you are looking for a place with majestic views and clean rooms, Lake Safari Lodge is a great place to stay. If you place your preferences on culinary delights however, I would look elsewhere. The management are super friendly and willing to help as much as possible if the waiters were just willing to call them.

The experience in 2020 was better compared to the now experience. In 2020 we booked the rooms facing East. Now we are in the rooms facing Wæste (pun intended). The rooms are horrible. Rooms feel stuffed… food from restaurant was horrible. We are spending another night here. For tonight’s dinner we hopping to go eat from another restaurant. If you going to stay here… insist on rooms facing east. Pay extra if you have too… unfortunately I couldn’t pay extra as all rooms are fully booked… long weekend

Best place to visit. I encourage people to go snd enjoy themselves if the think of a place to relax.enjoy african food , bath sun and sail into lake Kariba. There is kariba brims that you can also order with Tshima.The reception is a very warm welcome because they are very helpful

Really enjoyed my stay at the lodge. The owners and staff are super friendly and helpful and the buffet breakfast was very standard for most hotels. The views are simply stunning and sunsets were totally spectacular. Small details need to be taken care of like plugging in lamps next to beds and making sure they are working and electrical are safe. Too much furniture in the rooms. Towels in bathrooms before check in. Clean grout in bathrooms. Such a nice big TV in rooms but sadly did not have any channels. Would be great to have at least one international plug or adapter in the rooms but they do supply this service with a charging station at the dining area by the top pool. Sadly some of the guests were totally messy and had littered in front of their unit and that was only cleaned up the following day which did create an eye-sore within the pristine environment . I would certainly return to the lodge and look forward to flying the drone to get some great footage next time. Thank you. See you soon..
