Very beautiful and relaxing. Friendly and helpful staff with nice camping areas. we stayed two days
Report Check-InLively grassy well treef site with supwrb thatch communal area with seating and dining furniture. Big braai with washing up sink. Helpful staff. Kitchen open. Just off Great North Road, so convenient but may be noisy.
Report Check-InA very nice campsite. One large space to park up with a few electrical points, a sink, and a really nice covered seating area. Ablutions are well kept, although watch out at night as the bugs LOVE it. Also a bar and restaurant on site. Superb, friendly staff happy to help. Would recommend.
Report Check-InWe arrived at lunchtime at a cool leafy place. Camping has all what one needs like shade distance to the Neighbour, water and electricity and fast Wifi at the campsite too.
Restaurant food is good and a very comprehensive menu.
Very recommendable
Very pleasant stay. Fair internet. Description is accurate. Friendly staff
Report Check-InGood stopover on the T2. Best hot shower we’ve had in weeks 😂. Clean ablutions, fire grid and wood supplies. Set amongst the trees.
Despite other reviews we had a very quiet night. $30 for 2x pax on. Changes name was Forest Inn.
Not sure if they just changed the price policy for camping. Per night you pay 20 USD for one person and any additional person is + 10 USD / Kids 5 USD. Max 6 persons per campsite.
Report Check-InWe stayed as was the only convenient stop on our drive. $20pppn although I wasn’t charged for the child. Clean ablutions although the hot water had finished. Nice camping area although can clearly hear the road. Chalets from $65. Good food, pleasant staff, clean camp.
Report Check-InYou camp in a beautiful, green, shady garden. The sanitary facilities are ok and the water is hot. But the price is too high at 20$ ppN. Unfortunately no alternative.
Report Check-InName changed to Fika Lodge.
Everything still looks the same. Just very clean and neat.
Neatly tiled bathroom for campers. Grass cut in campsite. Strong free wifi at campsite.
Restaurant & bar with decent Italian coffee machine for the coffee lovers.
Camping is now $20 pppn. (353 kwatcha

Good if you need a stop over, otherwise not a place where we would go. Ablutions were dirty, only one toilet and one shower had light. As there was a big group there at the same time, not nice. Crickets and road are noisy, but were no problem for us. 15,- is too much. If you have time for a detour, go to Shigu Farm south of here.
Report Check-InWe came without reservation, lots of space, but not very clean
Ok for an overnight stay.
Same as described they still want 15$ppn but we paid 13$ No WiFi, but good MTN signal
Report Check-InNow 330kw pppn (15USD). Really good (and hot) shower, trees for shade, comfy lapa with a sofa and chairs but oh so overpriced. Would happily pay this price for a more special setting, but it’s just a smallish oasis off highway.
Report Check-InIt was 300 kw ppn for us. The place is still pretty and green but very noisy from the road all night long. We think it is very expensive just for a hot shower (which is very good) and electricity. Internet was not working and with the manager away they could not fix it.
Report Check-InGood place with beautiful arranged campsite. Camping 15 US-Dollar ppn. Hot showers.
Report Check-InNow USD 15 pppn. Really expensive for what you get. Could park next to power point. No WiFi. Really nice shower. Ladies abulutions good, gentes ok.
Report Check-InGood campsite for one night but a bit too expensive. It's 135K/pppn. For electricity you may need a long cord (up to 50m)
Report Check-InThere was no room for negotiation: ‘we can ask this price (135 pppn) because we are always fully booked’. There was one guest. We drove another 60 km south and booked a room at the very friendly Caracas Lodge: 250 for a big spacious room, with breakfast and hot shower.
Report Check-InStill a lovely campsite with lots of shade and flat ground, situated within the forest, although close to the road. There is a bit of road noise, but really not much. Campsite has restaurant and bar, hot water showers, clean abolution, braai and enough possibilites to make a campfire. Power on sites and wifi at the restaurant. Only downside is that they raised the prices to 120 kw pppn.
Report Check-InNice place. They ask 120 Kwacha pppn now for camping. We still paid 72 Kwacha pppn but it took some negotiation.
Report Check-InWe stayed for 2 nights. They have got a barber or hairdresser that visits for a haircut, if needed. Camping now ZMW 120 per person. This is expensive. To be honest Zambia is expensive
Report Check-InAgree with the previous comments. Nice place to stay, good restaurant next to the bar and lounge. Nice shady camping area with a large covered sitting place. We stayed 2 nights and paid 144 Kwacha/night
Report Check-InA great campsite! Lovely place, lovely staff, very comfortable with excellent showers - and we enjoyed a delicious, really good quality, well portioned meal. All great value for money.
Only minor thing I can complain about is a bit of road noise, but to be honest I barely noticed it!
72zkw pppn.
Kw 72 it is now (?) but still a good stopover to rest after all the trucks and police stops...
Report Check-In72kw pppn.
Meals are ok prices but disappointingly small portions.
Don't know about the WiFi but MTN mobile broadband works well.
Water is from a borehole and is very clear.
Power available on-sites.
Nice place. Cabins, camping, restaurant, bar. We camped for 70 Kwatcha per person. Good facilities; hot showers, clean ablutions, sink, bins. Food was pricy, we cooked our own but no actual kitchen provided. Internet available at reception (password

Great place to stay and cheap!
Nice camping area.
Food at the restaurant was top and cheap!
A nice campsite conveniently positioned. Camp wherever you want in a compact space surrounded by low trees but there are only a small number of hook up points. Water is potable and from nearby taps. Not much privacy from other campers. However the campsite is close to the trunk road and although mostly quiet at night the heavy traffic starts again at 5am. Also there is a nearby airstrip and a plane left at 6am. Also we heard a train in the night too. There was a mains power failure while we were here and although the camp has its own diesel generator it is very near the camp spots and quite noisy. Mains power was restored after 1hr and generator switched off
Report Check-InNice place. Shade. Clean ablution. Hot shower. Stayed in our rooftop. Quiet. Price right at 7ZKW pp. Good place to get wash done but very costly.. Restaurant yummy. A bit pricey.
Report Check-Innice campground with electricity, braai area, and washing up sink. 70ppn. ate at the restaurant expecting something just average but the food was very good. close to the road but it wasn't very noisy
Report Check-InCampsite on gras, hot shower, elwctricity, a little bit dirty. WIFI only inside reception. Nice staff, laundry and dryer paid per piece (expensive). 70 zkw pP, children free
Report Check-InNeat campsite with many trees and good facilities, hot water, electricity, laundry, restaurant and wifi. Close to road so relatively noisy but nevertheless good stopover with friendly staff. For 30Zk (2,50€) you can get a wheel barrow load of fire wood. 70Zk (6€) pp
