Day 1 to Day 3 – Chaminuka Lodge near Lusaka

Chaminuka is a synopsis of Africa. From the concept to the design to the execution to its collections of African Art and Wildlife to its way of life, it is the creation of Andrew and Danae Sardanis, who made Chaminuka their home in 1978.

Chaminuka is a village on a hill overlooking Lake Chitoka; it is some 10,000 acres of pristine Miombo woodland and savannah; it is the roar of the lion and the laughter of the hyena; it is the elephant and the giraffe and the zebra and the eland and the sable and all the other animals of the Zambian bush; and it is the fish eagle and the kingfisher and the ibis and the egrets and the storks and the ducks and the geese and the other migratory birds that visit its lakes for rest and recuperation during their long annual sojourns from the Antarctic to the Russian steppes and back.

And it is the huge private collection of contemporary African paintings and sculptures as well as traditional artifacts - more than one thousand pieces - acquired from all over Africa over a period of 50 years. The collection spreads throughout the house, the guest suites, and the gardens and highlights the African culture and way of life over the centuries.

And above all, it is the people - a microcosm of Zambia, a mixture of all the tribes with many kids of all ages, and churches and schools, and its own soccer team that competes with those of the farms in the area.

Today this luxurious intimate Lodge welcomes discerning travelers from around the world, who seek excellence and style and an extraordinary chance to commune with Real Africa in all its magnificence.

- Thirty separate suites, each with en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning elegantly decorated in a fusion of contemporary and traditional African themes.

- Four fully furnished and equipped Villas, each with lounge, dining room, kitchenette, and four bedrooms with bathroom or shower en suite.

Several 'Insaka' village lounge areas where guests can relax in private, enjoying the glorious panoramic views across Chaminuka's African Eden which melts into the wilderness beyond.
