Kwahuwahi Lodge

On By CheetahTravelsIn lodge, Zambia3 Comments

Kwakuwahi Lodge is a beautiful higher end lodge in Mwinilunga located right on the river. It is a little bit of a walk from town, I would only walk it if you don’t have anything to carry and it is a nice day. The rooms are a bit pricy for the area, starting at 600kwa, but they have AC, comfortable beds, a view of the river, and televisions. The lodge is also a great place to go for a nice meal although their food options change daily depending on what is available, but I had the fish and chips and it was one of the best fish meals I had in Zambia. This could be a great romantic, get-away, lodge.

Chobu Lodge

On By CheetahTravelsIn lodge, Zambia1 Comment

Chobu is another lodge in Solwezi that I haven’t stayed at myself but have had many friends stay there when coming to visit where I worked. It is a little off the main road and not as nice as Solwezi Lodge, but it is a good, cheap, safe, backpackers place. It is walking distance to town center. Rooms start at 150kwa and go up from there depending on whether you want AC, television, or different types of bed. The basic room has a shared bathroom but the 200kwa room is self-contained.

Solwezi Lodge

On By CheetahTravelsIn Zambia1 Comment

So I personally have not stayed at Solwezi Lodge, but I have been there to book it a few times for friends. There is a free breakfast which I hear is really good, and the rooms are pretty decent. The front desk has very great, helpful, customer service. It is walking distance to Shoprite, and pretty easy to catch a cab on the walk towards Shoprite to go anywhere else. The room prices (as of August 2017) are below:

Double room – 350kwa

Twin room – 500kwa

Executive room – 600kwa

Executive Deluxe room – 1520kwa

 

Coming from the Copperbelt (the right of the map) into Solwezi, Solwezi Lodge will be on the left after you get up the hill after the bridge.

Elido Lodge

On By CheetahTravelsIn Zambia1 Comment

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.
