The Sardanis family built Chaminuka as a home in 1978. Designed in the style of a Zambian village, the family and their staff lived there until 1998 when they opened its doors to the public as a luxury lodge. It now offers 30 luxury suites and five cottages and villas. It also has a huge private collection of African contemporary paintings and sculp- ture as well as traditional artifacts – some 1,000 pieces – acquired from all over Africa over period of half a century. The collection spreads throughout the main house, the guest suites and the gardens.

The Lodge overlooks Lake Chitoka and offers many facilities including three libraries, a terraced restaurant, elegant dining room for private functions, a snooker room, floodlit tennis court, swimming pool, Jacuzzi and an art and artifacts shop.

Chaminuka is not just a luxury lodge and nature reserve, it is a community with approxi- mately 1000 inhabitants, three villages, two schools, a church, a clinic and is also home to the renowned Kaposhi Cheese Factory, the producer of award winning Zambian cheese.

Chaminuka offers so many activities, such as tours of the art collection, game drives conducted by qualified guides, who are conversant with the wildlife, birdlife and the trees of Zambia: bush walks where one can learn about the vegetation and the medici- nal value of the plants and trees as they are practiced locally, horse back safaris, fishing and boating, bird watching, cheetah accompanied bush walks and cheese and wine tasting in the Kaposhi Cave.

Chaminuka can also organize tours to local villages, schools and churches and farther afield in Zambia to other popular destinations and resorts. More than 15,000 people visit Chaminuka annually.
