It is a self-contained house rather than a lodge room: a bar and lounge, a cinema, a gym and a spa sit under one roof, with a heated pool and patio stretched along the water's edge. A private chef runs the kitchen, drawing produce from the organic garden next door and building menus around Zambian ingredients and technique. A concierge handles the rest. Guests can fish for tiger fish on the Zambezi between June and December, or go out at dawn or dusk when hippos and elephants come down to drink along the banks. Village and cultural tours run into Livingstone, along with trips to the town's markets and museums, and a guided outing to Victoria Falls, close enough for an afternoon. Tanyati also carries full access to the neighbouring Mukwa River Lodge and its amenities, so the privacy of a private villa comes without losing the wider run of a working lodge. Check-in is from 2pm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868379152443,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/tanyati-villa-lodge-livingstone-zambia-01.webp?v=1785179469"},{"product_id":"mutinondo-wilderness-lodge-29179","title":"Mutinondo Wilderness Lodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet across 10,500 hectares of the Muchinga plateau, Mutinondo Wilderness occupies a stretch of granite inselbergs, clear rivers and open miombo woodland roughly 30 km west of the Luangwa Valley. The lodge and its four chalets sit on a rocky outcrop above the bush, built from local granite, handmade brick and thatch, each named for the timber used inside it. Only Mubanga and Musase chalets have dry-weather vehicle access; the others are reached on foot. Nine widely spaced campsites lie within the woodland at the main camp, and a separate self-catering camp sits 11 km away on the Mutinondo River, facing the Kankonde Rocks. There is no mains electricity; chalets run on solar and wood-fired water heating, and wifi is limited to the office.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalking trails run for more than 60 km through woodland, along streams and up granite domes, and guests can move through much of the reserve unguided. The area holds a recorded bird list of 362 species and is rated an Important Bird Area, drawing birders after specials like the chestnut-headed flufftail. You can swim or canoe in the rivers that cut through the property, and climb the inselbergs for views running to the horizon. The 10 Peak Challenge links ten of these granite domes over a 28 km trail. It is quiet enough, most days, to hear nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868390064187,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/mutinondo-wilderness-lodge-campsite-lodge-mpika-zambia-01.webp?v=1785179486"}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/collections\/zambia.oembed?page=4","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
