Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge

We stayed at Jackalberry Lodge as Nkasa Lupala was being renovated. We had an amazing stay. They guide, Dusty was brilliant. Accommodation great. The food, well this could be better and maybe the menu needs to be reviewed. The one steak was really tough. Staff fantastic. Overall a great stay. Thank you

Very nice and friendly people. The location is amazing. Excellent food. We recommend the night game driving

What an adventure we experienced in this very nice lodge. We had a well equipped tent and enjoyed 3 nights so close to elephants. They could be found even in the lodge area. Wonderful experience. The sraff if the lodge was very helpful and friendly.

a beautifull located lodge right in the middle of nature. Warthogs and baboons roam freely through the camp. The combined gamedrive is a must; not enough words to desctibe it. So many animals, like eliphant, lots of birds etc. Only close encounter with the hippo's in the narrow stream was a bit scary (for us; the guide was completely at ease...). Only point of attention is the signposts from the road to the lodge (and back). there are many sandy spoors but at one point you donot know anymore which is which. A 4-wheel drive is essential due to the soft sand which you encounter. Fortunately tracks4africa map on our garmin showed every spoor...

We stayed there for two nights, the lodge was booked by our travel agency. When I looked at the previous reviews here and on booking platforms, I was a little worried about our future stay. And I must say we were very satisfied of our experience. A small lodge, with tents that are well equipped. Of course, there is no air conditioning, no minibar…but we come here to experience Africa 😀 Food was simple, but good and tasty. I saw many reviews from people complaining about the quality of the food… Taking into account the fact that we are in the middle of the bush, I would say that they are doing miracles. People were kind and attentive, with a professional welcome from Conor. I particularly recommend the COMBO game drive, as the cruise was really amazing. For those who had written that during dry season there are no animals, please look at the picture! 15 elephants to accompany our breakfast. Nevertheless it is true that there are not so many animals at that period of the year, compared to other reserves. But nature is so beautiful! Last detail: I would suggest to add Coke 0 and sparkling water to the list of drinks at the restaurant.

Have just returned from a wonderful three night stay at Nkasa Lupala with old friends. We were looking to stay somewhere as remote as possible, but be comfortable at the same time. We arrived late (after supper), and the lodge even sent a ranger to go in search of us as they were concerned about our whereabouts. We did all the activities (boats, walks, drives etc) and were very impressed with the lodge, the staff and the food. As can be expected with running a lodge in such a remote place there were some minor issues, such as electricity going out from time to time. But nothing that bothered or concerned us. All round, very impressed, and I look forward to returning with my family in August for a trip I have already booked! Well done to the Nkasa Lupala team.
