Only about an hours drive outside of Lusaka, it was a tranquil setting to escape from the city for the afternoon. We relaxed in the gardens for a drink, whilst my friend's little boy could play on the swings and jungle gym, and excitedly spot buck grazing nearby... then a short stroll to see the lions- a bit sad in...

Everything from the food and the service, to the serenity and wildlife were spectacular. The rooms are huge! The entertainment was sufficient, while the shower... Lets just say if I ever go back, I will be going back for the shower.

We spent 4 days facilitating a team unity programme at this lodge. It was simply awesome! The people, the food, the service, the care and the conferencing facilities were stunning. Everyone went far beyond the call of duty! And imagine our surprise to see wild buck standing tight next to the dining room!

Located north of Lusaka maybe 50km, the Protea Safari Lodge provides all the comforts of a five-star hotel in the middle of a game reserve. The lions are caged (and good for you that they are, my delicious reader) but all the other animals you are likely to see are roaming free. When we arrived, a bird had somehow gotten... More

My wife and I stayed at this very well managed for two nights between meetings in Kabwe and Lusaka. This lodge gave us precious time to appreciate the beauty of this part of Zambia in an 'up close and personal' way. The staff were consistently friendly, eager to help and always seemed to be smiling. The opportunity to go off... More

I stayed in Chisamba with the Protea safari lodge for 3 nights for business. The location is great, being 50km north of Lusaka means most people can concentrate on the meetings and not what's going on in the office.
