This opens a new chapter in the history of Kafue National Park, which, with an area of ​​an impressive 22,400 square kilometers, is not only Zambia's largest national park, but also Africa's second largest.

The 400 square meter Presidential Villa, which can be converted into a two-bedroom living suite if required, promises unforgettable stays with the highest level of comfort.

The culinary offering will also showcase the good Zambia to guests. A restaurant under the trees overlooking the Kafue River will serve regional specialties and innovative cocktails.
