Lilayi Lodge offers a memorable experience with its beautiful setting and clean pool, perfect for relaxation. The drinks were delightful, adding to the overall enjoyment. Although the restaurant was closed for an event, the staff were lovely and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant brief visit.
1 hr from Lusaka Airport. It’s a great place to stop over. The staff are very well trained and accommodating. The grounds are beautiful and the animals just make it so special (with buck and monkeys outside your door)
We stayed for 3 nights in July. We stayed in the family rooms/ suits, it’s not as lovely/ fancy as the deluxe rooms, but they have everything you need and are very comfortable.
Family suit- are two separate rooms, with en-suits (the tiniest shower), there is a small living room- with bar fridge, microwave and kettle
The food - unfortunately being there for 3 days, we noticed it is a hit and miss. Some dishes are amazing, some were very average. Cocktails were good- and a nice selection of wine
We did the wine tasting (the wine is not great) but the pairing food was superb, and the whole wine tasting experience was done very nicely!
Activities-
Play ground and pool for the kids.
Kids loved the play ground. Pool was a bit too cold in winter.
Game drive (there quite a bit of game) the game drive is 1hr - so lovely and short. Sonnet is an great guide - with over 30year experience on the farm
Bush walks. We did the 4.5km. Was lovely, some parts were in the shade. But take hats, and water- it’s quite a hot dry walk.
Spa- very lovely. One of the nicest massages I have had in a longtime. Recommend
Overall it’s a lovely place and I recommend it
Lillayi Lodge is an exceptional retreat in Lusaka. The serene environment, combined with luxurious accommodations, makes for a perfect getaway. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every need is met. The food at the on-site restaurant is delicious, with a variety of local and international dishes. The proximity to wildlife and nature trails adds a unique touch to the experience. Highly recommend Lillayi Lodge for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of Zambia!
