Visit Zambia: Discover a Hidden Hot Spring

Tucked deep along a bushy rainforest trail, you’ll find a serene hot spring, surrounded by lush, leafy trees. This secluded oasis feels like a hidden gem on a sprawling 20th-century colonial estate.

A retaining wall ensures the naturally heated waters stay at the perfect temperature while keeping curious crocodiles at bay. The springs have been well-maintained over the years, reflecting the dedication put into this tranquil spot.

After enjoying the soothing waters, you can explore the scenic landscapes nearby. The grounds feature expansive gardens and a growing coffee plantation. Numerous paths wind through an array of natural and exotic flora, with informative markers along the way. Just as you’re about to lose yourself in nature, you’ll encounter the lodge, beautifully framed by its surroundings.

The lodge offers various accommodations, from camping by the mighty riverbank to cozy chalets. You can indulge in activities like white water rafting, hiking, and even playing with puppies. Less than a mile away, an incredible scenic hike leads you deep into the breathtaking Shiwa Valley.

**Know Before You Go:**
From Lusaka, take a bus from one of the larger companies (Juldan, Power Tools, or Likili) heading to Kasama. The easiest and most affordable option is to get off in Mpika and book a taxi directly to the hot springs. The lodge can help arrange transport, though it may come at a higher price—ensuring a safer travel experience.
