Tonga Vacations from ￥171,618

We stayed here for a night on a stopover through Lusaka. I initially thought this was a retreat closer to the airport as airport shuttle was advertised. I confirmed the distance and was told 25-35 minutes, it was more like an hour and 10 minutes. They have beautiful grounds, great staff and they did provide airport transit. The stay comes with activities, so if you have time and are looking for a retreat for some days, might be a good spot. The animals come down to the main grassy area in the afternoon, unfortunately we left before that time. We had some room issues with the water heater, but staff worked hard to overcome challenges. Great morning walk and they offer game drives on the property. We'd just come from a safari adventure filled week so wildlife wasn't that important to us. If you have kids or want a wildlife retreat, may be a good stop.

Check-in took too long, requested extra bed was not arranged so had to wait around 30 mins. Breakfast was lacking & staff not attentive. A/C worked well and powerful (hot) shower but no soap or other amenities provided. Pool closed for refurb (not mentioned before). Noise from adjoining bar. Reception did find us a good taxi for trip out to Kalima reptile park and back to airport.
