Important Luggage Guidelines
Enjoy the convenience of lightweight travel with our strict but manageable guidelines. Light aircraft in Zambia operate under strict luggage policies:
Please confirm these requirements when booking. Kindly note that Royal Zambezi Lodge cannot take responsibility for luggage exceeding the prescribed limits or not meeting airline policies.
Arriving by boat is an elegant way to start your stay at The Royal Zambezi Lodge. We regularly cruise to Gwabi Lodge on the Kafue River to pick up guests and can organise transfers from other camps and other destinations to meet your requirements.
If you are planning to drive to the lodge, we strongly recommend a 4×4 vehicle for getting here, as the last 70km of the road is extremely rough in places. Another alternative is to drive to Gwabi lodge on the Kafue River, and we can organise a boat transfer for the last 40km of the journey. A great way to start your stay at the lodge.
