Mvuu Lodge is predominantly a fishing lodge that provides a five star service to local and international clients during our season from the beginning of March to the end of November every year. Accommodation on offer includes ethnically decorated tented chalets, stone chalets and campsites. Each of our Bemba and Tonga tents/chalets have a shower and toilet en-suite, with two of the Bemba tents/chalets featuring a bath as well. All of the tented/stone chalets have hot and cold running water plus all of our campsites have their own ablution facilities with hot and cold water. All of our tents/chalets overlook the Zambezi River, as do two of the campsites - Elly and Mvuu, providing our guests with stunning views across this mystical river. Reservations mandatory.

Approximately 18km from the Lower Zambezi National Park in the Chiawa Game Management area, you'll find tucked away in Zambia privately owned Mvuu Lodge. 'Place of the Hippo'. Situated on the lower part of the Zambezi River opposite Mana Pool. As you drive into Chirundu you will find a 'Chirundu Kaimon Bus Terminal' sign. Turn left at the second sign to go to the Pontoon. From Chirundu it is 11km to the Pontoon crossing (K56 000 for a local car $30 for foreign registered cars per crossing 06:00 - 18:00). Take the right-hand-road at the Y-fork just after the Pontoon crossing (See signs to Kayila) - then its just under 25km to Chiawa village - you turn right into the village and the road bends left out of the village. From Chiawa it's another 25km to Mvuu Lodge, if you ever think you may be going wrong, ask a local, they are friendly and helpful!

Travelling from Lusaka, you can take the road via Leopards Hill and the first 50km or so from Lusaka is tarred. Further on the 4WD route to Mvuu Lodge is a lot of fun -real 4WD! (May-2014).

“I visited Mvuu during October 2019.They had a serious Tiger fishing competition on the go. Although the lodge was fully booked out, management and staff welcomed me to their campsite. A really good experience. I was able to use the dining, lounge and bar facilities, and was welcomed by all, including the fishermen! The elephant walking through the lounge area was an added bonus. The campsite is unfenced and allows game ( Baboon Warthog and Impala0 to roam freely in the camp area. Great staff, great experience..” - Felix Hodgson, 2020/03/20
