Mutemwa Lodge ~ Upper Zambezi River ~ Western Zambia

ZAMBEZI accommodation & fishing safaris

Your piece of peace on the Upper Zambezi

At Mutemwa Lodge it’s our belief that every Upper Zambezi experience should encompass everything that makes the Zambezi river magical. This includes quality tiger fishing on a remote and private piece of the Zambezi, wonderful bird life, stunning sunsets, a roaring fire at night all complimented by superb hospitality and great food.

“This location took our breath away! A unique ‘glamping’ experience close to nature… and catching a tiger fish is a memory we will treasure for a lifetime!”

– Deb Minaar, June 2019

“Absolutely fantastic Zambezi fishing and wilderness experience. The river delivered in style with everyone catching at least one trophy tiger fish of 12 pounds+ and the cherry on the top was a rare sighting of a Pel’s Fishing Owl.”
