Zambia - Lochinvar National Park - Lechwe Plains
Lechwe Plains
The Lochinvar Estate has a genuine history as an “Out of Africa” colonial cattle ranch and farm.
Bequeathed to the nation in 1904, the old colonial farmhouse still stands, under a preservation order. But Lochinvar’s huge swath of unique wetland and floodplain savanna was returned to its wild state.
Today it is a World Heritage Wetland Site. Situated on the Kafue River floodplain mid way between Livingstone and Lusaka, the Park is now the last stronghold of the Kafue Lechwe, an aquatic antelope of extraordinary grace.
The exotic and beautiful Lechwe Plains Tented Camp is an African fantasy under canvas. The tented lodge, built onto teak decking, shelters under a mature grove of acacia trees on the edge of the wide Chunga Lagoon. Just 6 double units cater for a maximum of 12 guests at any one time, making this a tranquil hideaway far from the main safari circuits.
High season rate: £222 per person per night.
