Samfya

Samfya is the largest town on Lake Bangweulu with an economy centred around fishing; its small vessels are also put to work transferring travellers to other towns on the lake.

Samfya’s white sandy beaches are ideal for a few days of relaxation. Hot and humid in the rainy season, the best time to visit would be in the cooler winter months, from May to September.

ACCOMMODATION:
Several lodges dot the shores of Lake Bangweulu, offering comfortable lodging and shaded campsites. Of these Chita Lodge is the best option for a well-deserved break.
