Bua River Lodge

The lodge is situated along the banks of the beautiful Bua River in Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve and guests can expect wonderful views downstream and across to the wilderness on the opposite bank. This is a small and owner managed property that offers a relaxing and friendly stay. Accommodation is provided in six purpose-made, luxury safari tents, erected on varnished wooden floors and shaded by thatched roofs. Large mosquito-netted windows, ventilation flaps and screen doors, ensure that even on the hottest day the tents stay cool inside. Each is located to ensure seclusion and to engender a feeling of solitude. Each has an extensive viewing deck to the front, that overlooks the beautiful Bua River. Much of the furniture has been made by local artisans and, in many cases, constructed from dead hardwood trees found within the lodge site. Each unit has an open-air but very private bathroom (toilet, hot water showers and wash basins) to the rear. All accommodation is reached by walking, but never more than 300 metres from the main lodge. The footpaths are patrolled by lodge staff and lit with paraffin lanterns to guide you back to your room at night.
