Kapishya Hot Springs Campsite
Located in
Zambia :: Great North
Category:
Camping :: Lodge Camp
The campsite is situated on the Mansa River and offers neat ablutions with hot showers, flush toilets (bring your own toilet paper), braai areas and lapas, and plenty of shade. There is now electricity and WIFI at the camp at an additional cost.
This is quite a busy campsite which also allows day visitors, which given the camping rate, is a bit of a nuisance.
Campers are welcome to use all lodge facilities.
The lodge also has a fully stocked bar and a fantastic restaurant where all styles of food are served. Requests to the chef can also be made!
The lodge also offers chalets.
The owner is an avid gardener who created a lush garden for guests to enjoy. Guests can also enjoy lazing in the Kapishya Hot Springs, which is on the property. Gallons of hot water bubbles to the surface daily and a weir created a shallow pool which is safe for children. The temperature of the water is around 39 degrees Celsius and it contains no sulphur.

Kapishya Hot Springs - The hot springs are approximately 9 hours drive from Lusaka along the Great North Road. It is advisable to fill up with fuel at any fuel station you pass as fuel is NOT always available! The great North road is in reasonably good condition but there are numerous police and immigration checkpoints so please make sure you have all the correct documentation such as passports and visas. It is also possible to fly into the airstrip at Shiwa Ng'andu which is 19 kilometres from the lodge. Coordinates are available on request should you wish to self fly.

“There are also many birds in the bush around the campsite. ” - Deon Kotze, 2012/03/15
“The site is about 32kms off the main T2 road so is not ideal for an overnight stop but the hot springs are an attraction as well as the possibility of arranging a visit to Shiwa Ng'andu built by Sir Stewart Gore Browne.” - David Clack, 2009/02/09
