MANGOLEZYA
EXPLORE ZAMBIA
Mangolezya gives our guests the opportunity to explore and experience Zambia’s amazing wildlife and natural beauty in clean, comfortable and affordable lodges across the country.
CREATE MEMORIES WITH YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS
Mangolezya currently offers two unique safari experiences designed to showcase Zambia’s incredible natural beauty. Winterthorn Lodge, a well-established favourite, combines comfort and charm with a prime location for exploring the heart of Zambia’s wilderness. Rain Tree Camp, our newest addition in Kafue National Park, offers a fresh, relaxed approach to safari living, just 3.5 hours from Lusaka.
Both camps promise clean, comfortable, and affordable accommodations, along with unforgettable wildlife experiences tailored for Zambians looking to explore their homeland. Mangolezya will expand our portfolio lodges and camps across the country with five new locations already planned.
Our Camps
Mangolezya is redefining the safari experience for Zambians by making it accessible, affordable, and welcoming to all. Traditionally, safaris and lodge stays have been marketed to international tourists. Mangolezya’s lodges, however, are designed to ensure anyone can fully explore the beauty of the country without sacrificing comfort or quality. With clean, well-maintained accommodation and flexible payment options, we believe that discovering Zambia’s extraordinary wildlife and breathtaking landscapes should be an experience for everyone. At Mangolezya, we are committed to creating opportunities to reconnect with nature, share meaningful moments, and take pride in the rich natural heritage right in their own backyard.

August 1, 2022Perfect Escape from Lusaka - We had such a wonderful stay at Winterthorn Lodge!
We found it to be such a lovely way to escape Lusaka. At the moment with Covid picking... read more up again it was so perfect for us to be able to have the whole lodge for just our family.
The staff were so helpful and we really felt like no request was too much for them. We had such a smooth experience from the initial inquiry all the way through to when we left.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the sounds of nature and the surrounding animals make it even more special.
We will definitely be back!
