News from Bua River Lodge

Walking Trails Opened

Bruce, our volunteer, is moving fast. He has already opened up over 10 Km of riverside walking trails. This weekend he will cross the river and begin the exploration for new trails in the Bvundikira Hills and further afield to the Djong'ombe Hills.

We will also be offering special overnight fly-camping packages, with camp sites located at some beautiful stretches of the Bua River. Meals will be prepared by one of our lodge chefs and cold drinks and warm showers will be available.

Contact us for more details of our walking safaris and camping packages.

My favourite time of the year! The rains are over. The air is crystal clear. The forest is still lush. The days are warm the evenings cool. And the river is sparkling.

We are excited to announce that, at the end of April, our volunteer will arrive. His task will be to explore and open up new walking trails within Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. By the end of his stay we are hoping to have several new trails, including an overnight walking safari, which will include camping beside the Bua River complete with meals cooked by our chef.

We also plan to open up a 3-4 day walking safari to the Djon'gombe Hills, north-west of Bua River lodge. This will be a true wilderness adventure, unsupported from the lodge once you set off.
