Lilayi Lodge

Hotel

Best place to relax with Family 🥰 I was there for Work though. It was my first time being at Lilayi Lodge.

Great place to chill and relax. Their wine tasting and food pairings is a great addition. Also the grounds are great with lots of animals and three walks around the park.

Great adventure away from home location. Being a foodie that I am, food was exquisitely delicious. Serene environment.

It's nice, enjoyable and affordable.

Been to lilayi several times and I always recommend it to folks who has never been there for a day safari tour, lunch, dinner, its also a best place for families. It's so beautiful cozy. Love everything about it. Starting from rooms. Stuffs and excellent service the ambience, Love the food especially the kafue cray fish that's my favorite, excellent selections of wine. Had a some Christmas photo shoot with my beautiful friend which all went well and amazing. We had a very warm friendly welcome. Oue waiter was so amazing with excellent service. We had a great amazing time there. Will definitely come back again always. Thank you
I will definitely recommend it. 👍👌💯❤️

So I booked to go lunch and spend an entire afternoon on the Saturday of 11th December after work with my friend. We got there and the service was slow. The place was not too busy and with the events that would later take place I was convinced maybe I was judged by the way I looked. After having to order food and drinks straight from the bar because our waiter did not come back after serving us our first drink, the food finally came. It was good. I enjoyed the pool and took a hike then came back to wind up and leave. When the bill came, my visa card did not work on the standbic POS they had the first 6 times. It was a net work issue on their part. After failing on the 7th attempt, I Decided to offer other alternatives of clearing the bill which were all denied. At this point I was surrounded by 6 personnel who did not offer any solution but just demanded that I magically produce cash. At this point they are discussing with each other how people (assuming me) usually pull such stunts of coming to enjoy services without money. I thought to my self with so much anger how I could have literally driven 70+ kilometers just to eat and enjoy services for free without a payment plan. At this point I was being detained because all other alternatives I offered which included a bank transfer (a function of the POS machine by the way) were being denied.

What a lovely place! Macic surroundings and a very helpful staff!

Very friendly staff, and the setting was just beautiful.

Great atmosphere with welcoming conducive environm5

Beautiful place, delious food, quiet peaceful environment, good service.

I had an awesome experience. I loved seeing the elephants.

Lovely place and Wonderful for a relaxation weekend. Food was superb. Game drive not so impressive not so many animals to see. Its a must visit for their food… it was topnotch.

Expensive. This is inside the elephant nursery. I personally did not liked it much as you can see elephants in all around Africa. But they keep the baby orphan elephants and take care of them till they grow up and finally leave them in jungle. There were only 3 baby elephants wen we visited. Otherwise, there is nothing to see. They have a lodge as well. They take people for safari as well, but it not typical African safari.

Great place to have lunch on a Sunday and relax by the pool. Very solid food and drink options. One of the nicest places in the general Lusaka area.

Good food, good crowd and a nice opportunity for a walk in the jungle. Spotted deers and wild pigs. Didn't run into a zebra. No predatory animals around. Check it out. Will cost around 25 pounds for a feast per person. Living is expensive. Around 300 us dollars.

A serene location. For a completely relaxing getaway. If you want to do NOTHING, but relax or focus, it's the place to be.

Eat super. Delicious drinks, discreet and friendly staff. Super price performance ratio. Worth spending a relaxing day there.

Beautiful location with animals coming right in front of the dining area amd rooms, lovely accommodation, extremely helpful staff, delicious food. And then there are the gorgeous baby elephants of course! Highly recommended.

Exquisite lodge in the bush with some small game and giraffes. There is also an elephant sanctuary close by. Lodge meals and service are first class, and so is the accommodation. I can recommend if you find yourself in Lusaka.

Great place to spend your weekend, very kid-friendly too, love it, will definitely come back soon.

Tranquil outdoor location with scenic views by the pool. Not far a drive but feels like you are far from the busy city. Menu surprisingly reasonably priced. Enjoyer their lamb parcel starter and ribs for main (huge portion of ribs)

Delicious dessert. Try pecan nut pie. Venue is excellent with green view and animals around. Only problem is the gravel road.

Good food and beautiful place. Service is really great too.

Great spot away from Lusaka with lots of wildlife, biking and walking trails plus a gorgeous swimming pool. Full service restaurant.

It's a beautiful place right in the town of Lusaka, a must see. The elephant sanctuary is to die for.

This place is excellent! the food is great and the staff is on point.

Fantastic upmarket place. Beautiful setting. Good value for money.

Year End Management meeting and Christmas party. Fantastic venue. Great food and good service. Lovely comfortable rooms.

Felt welcome and invited plus the staff were attentive and accommodating. I had a relaxing and great time.

Special country lodge. Untouched wild surroundings and game. Lovely swimming pool and good food.

Took part in the elephant experience. Basically you pay a fee of ZMW 50 ($5) to watch baby elephants from a deck during feeding time, which is at 11am. I Learnt alot and now have a higher appreciation for the conservation efforts the lodge is making. Especially looking at the fact that elphants are going to be extinct soon. Apart from a distasteful joke made by the manager of the elephant program about hunters and poachers the overall experience was a good one.

It's a very nice place for all the occasions. Visit it and you will not regret…

It is a great place to relax and go for a swim here. The food is great and the service too 10/10 would recommend.

Civilised experience in the bush. Good food, but expensive.

Nice rooms, but far from town centre and lack of public transport.

Good spot to relax or weekend gateway.

Incredible experience run by professional caring people with a passion to protect endangered species. Delicious food, excellent service surrounded by bush and animals… heaven. A must if visiting Lusaka.

Delicious lunch in wonderful setting at a place that does fantastic work. This is definitely "The place to rest at sunset"!

From the moment you enter the main gate, you feel that you have found a tranquil oasis. Visiting the Elephant orphanage is a highlight but then you go to the Lodge and are welcomed by exceptional and friendly staff. The restaurant is spacious and airy with a beautiful terrace. Service is exceptional and the food and wine pairing options are great — it all makes for a fabulous day out. I'm returning to stay soon … cannot wait to try out the luxury chalets and relax with a glass of wine, watching the abundant wildlife while the sun sets.

Experienced a very relaxing stay here complete with a visit to the elephant sanctuary and game drive. Every person on staff that we encountered was incredible — so friendly, interesting to talk to, not to mention great service. We especially enjoyed getting to know and interacting our game driver, servers, and Scott Leslie, the manager. I was even greeted on my way to check out with the exact obscure coffee order I like and had been ordering each morning! (A coconut milk cafe au lait — how's that for attention to detail!? ) We look forward to coming back again!

Serene surrounding, with great views, animals to look at too.

I really like the lodge its very attractive and am looking forward to there again.

We had a very nice time, that place is owesome.

Really like this place. The food was very good and the Elephant orphans were cute.

Took my Daughter there on Sunday Morning on our way back home from church. She is Only 7yrs Ols but has taken a keen interest in Elephants. it doesn't help that her name Means matriarch in kaonde. Personally I was humbled and would like to help in any way I can. Carry on the on the |Good Work.

Love it, especially the night and mornings. Did some installation during the rehab… of the facility love people too, the hospitality is the best when you get to know them. Braden good man.

Great place for the holidays great service cool animals so fun nice swimming pool.
