Northwest

The lodges below are split up between Solwezi (the provincial capital) and Mwinilunga (the capital of the Lunda Region). Most of the places I’ve stayed at are for budget travelers, although I do have some information on more upscale places, I just haven’t stayed there myself. So choose a place below!

Mwinilunga:

Elido Lodge

Kwahuwahi Lodge

Solwezi:

Georgies Lodge

Crossroads Lodge – Solwezi

Elido Lodge

Elido Lodge is located at the top of the hill right before you enter Mwinilunga (The yellow pin on the map below). All the rooms have a beautiful view of the countryside. I particularly like the triangular shaped chalets, but the apartment style ones are a bit bigger. The rooms go from 120-160kwa. The rooms are clean. I don’t recall there being mosquito nets in either room so bring bug spray. The showers worked both times I stayed there, but the hot water was hit or miss. I stayed there in July and August 2017 so things may have changed since then. I really liked how it was in walking distance to town, seemed pretty safe, and the staff was very helpful, although they did not speak much English.
