Take a light aircraft from Lusaka (LUN) to Chunga Airstrip ~1 h 20 flight time, then followed by ~40–45 m road/boat transfer to camp. By road: ~3½–4 h from Lusaka via Hook Bridge.
Seven en-suite bedrooms arranged around a central open-plan lounge/dining area that opens to a wide river-facing deck. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and external door to the deck or veranda; bed setups can be made up as king or twin for family or friends travelling together. The house sits beside the main lodge, so guests use Ila’s shared amenities (pool, floating spa) while keeping a fully private rhythm with their own guide and vehicle.
Fully serviced private dining with lodge kitchen support, plated meals at your preferred times, bush breakfasts on activity days, and picnic set-ups for the river. Menus are seasonal and relaxed, and dietary needs are handled with advance notice.
If using light aircraft sectors: 15 kg soft bag + 3 kg hand luggage; neutral layers, closed shoes for walks, and a light fleece for cool, open-vehicle mornings.
Minimum 6 adults and minimum 3 nights apply. Ask for a private lunch cruise on the E-Boat one day and a long, quiet sunset drift another. It's worth combining with Chisa Busanga, an 20 minute flight.
Green Safaris pioneers electric safaris (E-Cruiser/E-Boat) and funds local initiatives via its foundation; operations emphasize solar power and low-impact practices.
