Nkamba Bay Lodge is an exclusive private lodge set in a stunning location on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. It is the only lodge in Nsumbu Game Park - one of the unspoiled, secluded treasures of Africa.

Let us spoil you with a taste of Africa. Stay with us in luxurious accommodation. Wake to the sounds of hippos talking and the hornbills trumpeting and watch the beautiful African sunrise.

Nkamba Bay Lodge enjoys a lovely elevated position on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. It has magnificent views overlooking the lake and surrounding area. Each of the 9 chalets has private balconies, either overlooking the lake or enjoying a private view of the bush and rainforest. The thatched Insaka in the centre of the lodge houses the lounge and library. It is pleasantly cool in the hot weather.

By Air
Charter from Lusaka or Ndola Airport to Kasaba Bay Airstrip (810 Km direct).

By Road
Access to Nsumbu National Park and Nkamba Lodge is either by road via Mansa or Kasama to Sumbu and the Park Gate (1363 Km and 1188 Km). There are gravel tracks from Sumbu to Nkamba Lodge and Kasaba Bay, to the various scouts' camps,to the balancing rocks, and from Nkamba to the Lufubu River where a link with the Mbala road is planned but not yet completed. At present, most client transfers between the Lodge are carried out by boat.

Whilst the National road network is gradually being improved, journeys can be long and arduous to this corner of Zambia, particularly on the unpaved portions. The most direct route from Lusaka is via Serenje, Mansa and Kawambwa on paved roads, then to Mporokoso on a good gravel road, and finally from Mporokoso to Sumbu on a poor gravel road. A longer route, but with better gravel roads, is via Nchelenge from Mansa on a paved road, thence to Sumbu via Kaputa on a good gravel road which runs through Mweru Wantipa National Park. Finally, there is a route via Kasama to Mporokoso, but this is in poor condition. Access to the lake via Mbala and Mpulungu is by paved road all the way, but there is no link yet between Mbala and Sumbu.

There are no reliable, regular road or lake transport services to Sumbu or the Lodges in the National Park. However, the Lodges have their own and vehicles available for short-distance transfers, and there are companies which have vehicles for hire. A ferry service between the major international ports on Lake Tanganyika is operated by Tanzania Railways, using the historical MV Liemba with a capacity for 500.

Our recommendation is either by air charter or by road to Mpulungu, to be picked up by us and transported to the lodge by boat. The duration of this transfer depends on weather but normally takes about 2hrs. A great opportunity to see the beautiful lake and its surroundings.
