"Good flight recovery destination"
Food - Breakfast adequate. I was happy with fruit, yoghurt etc. so did not try cooked breakfasr. Light lunch and dinner very pleasant especially venison carpaccio. Bar staff very cheerful and waiters always willing if a little haphazard at times.
Housekeeping - above and beyond. I had forgotten to pack a hair item (inconsequential to most but not for me). One of the housekeeping staff said she would go to market at the end of her shift and send it back with the staff bus. It was delivered to my door a couple of hours later. Exemplary.
Room - Overjoyed to see a fan heater. I put it to good use! .Everything provided except a bathrobe which was a slight disappointment. (Provided everywhere else.)
A great stopping -off point in extremely nice surroundings.. Manager very welcoming..." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia
"Lilayi Lodge review"
"great place to relax after long trip"
Special highlights include the veranda on our private chalet and the deck off the restaurant area, both of which provided beautiful views of the grounds and animal-watching opportunities. My mum thought the pool was an exceptionally good one, in terms of size, cleanliness, ambiance. The food here was fantastic. Everything we ate was delicious and well presented. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Note - we did not take part in any activities here so can't comment on those." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

It's a very good place to start and end your trip, especially when you have hours to wait for your flight.
The food is excellent except when there are big parties and the cook is too busy" See all these reviews: 16n in Zambia
