A LEGACY OF HOME, ART & HEART
Chaminuka began as a dream — a home lovingly built by the Sardanis family in 1978, inspired by the warmth and spirit of a traditional Zambian village. For two decades, it was a place where family, staff, and nature lived in harmony.
In 1998, that dream was shared with the world, as the family opened its doors to guests, transforming Chaminuka into a luxury lodge without losing its soul. Today, it features 30 elegant suites, five private cottages and villas, and remains a sanctuary of comfort and culture.
At its heart lies a breathtaking collection of over 1,000 contemporary African artworks, sculptures, and cultural treasures — gathered over 50 years from across the continent. These pieces are not simply displayed; they are woven into the fabric of the estate, gracing its halls, suites, and gardens, and telling Africa’s story with every step you take.
WHERE ELEGANCE MEETS THE WILD
Perched above the serene Lake Chitoka, Chaminuka Lodge is a masterpiece of luxury immersed in nature. Step into a world where sophistication and culture converge — from three curated libraries and a terraced restaurant with panoramic views, to an elegant private dining room designed for unforgettable gatherings.
Unwind in the snooker lounge, enjoy a match on the floodlit tennis court, or sink into the warmth of a Jacuzzi after a refreshing dip in the swimming pool. For those with an eye for beauty, explore the on-site gallery and shop featuring rare African art and timeless cultural artifacts.
More than a Lodge - A Living Legacy
Chaminuka is more than a luxury lodge or a wildlife sanctuary — it’s a thriving, self-sustaining community nestled in the heart of Zambia. Home to over 1,000 residents, it features three vibrant villages, two schools, a church, and a health clinic, all woven into the fabric of everyday life on the estate.
It’s also the proud home of the celebrated Kaposhi Cheese Factory, where Zambia’s award-winning artisan cheese is crafted — a testament to the estate’s dedication to quality, culture, and innovation.
Chaminuka is where luxury meets purpose, where every corner breathes life, and where the spirit of community thrives alongside the wild.
