lusaka operators - lilayi lodge

Lilayi Lodge, only 20 minutes drive from Lusaka, provides the ideal setting for a relaxed stay. Set in a 700 hectare game ranch the lodge offers comfortable accommodation close to Zambia's capital city

A stay at the Lodge will give you the opportunity to see up to sixteen varieties of antelope from the ubiquitous Impala and the magnificent Sable to Roan, Hartebeest and Waterbuck.

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

The region around Lilayi Lodge boasts a prolific bird population – over 300 bird 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.

Activities include:

Game Drives - can be taken in the early mornings or late afternoons.

Horseback safaris provides a superb opportunity to view the animals from close proximity.
