"Mutinondo Wilderness review"
Mike is a charming and helpful host - he even tried to arrange for us to pick up some coffee at Lusaka airport as the duty free shop is being refurbished. It didn't work but it was good of him to try.
We had a room with a great view of sunrise, and it had glass doors, which we understand are new and keep the cold evening air out. There's a very relaxed atmosphere with no "organised" activities but plenty to do. The food was good and the bar was never going to run out, although we found we had to move some from the cupboard into the fridge after an influx of vistors to the campsite one day."

"Unmissable Mutinondo marvels"
We saw visitors enjoying the horse riding (though we walked) and although there is game it is relatively sparse and retiring. The Bradt guide is right to say that this is not the place to go if you want to be closely organised and guided but that is one of the joys: the freedom to guide oneself around the Wilderness (and it really is very easy - you'd have to be a bit of a fool to get lost) and spend exactly what time one wants birdwatching (it's a designated Important Bird Area) and taking an interest in the hugely diverse flora and walking up the inselbergs for some of the most fantastic views you are ever likely to see in your life.
In the evening you can relax by the fire with a beer before a very good dinner. All in all how special on an ascending scale of 1 to 10? I'd say 10 without any doubt at all." See all these reviews: 15n in Zambia

Shiwa Ng'andu
The Old Manor House at Shiwa Ng’andu is a fascinating cultural and historic stopover, either before, after or during a safari.
Wasa Lodge
Wasa Lodge offers easy access to Kasanka National Park, best visited in November and December to see the millions of fruit bats that arrive in the area.
Shoebill Island Camp
Shoebill Island Camp stands on the southern edge of the Bangweulu Wetlands. It's a remote spot, and a very simple camp - but if you want to see Shoebills then it is one of the best places in Africa.
Impandala House
Situated in the grounds of the historic Shiwa Ng'andu manor house, Impandala House works well as a base for families or small groups to explore northern Zambia.
