Masuku Lodge
Bradt Guide to Zambia, 2004

Located on a farm in the Nkanga River Conservation Area, about 25km from Choma, this recently opened lodge is owned by ex-diplomat Bill Somerset and his wife, and comes well recommended. Guests stay in twin-bedded, thatched rondavels, and the lodge overlooks a vlei which has been dammed to provide a lake.

Much of the farm's game, including sable and zebra, can be spotted in the immediate vicinity, where there are some good walks; game drives can also be arranged. The area is also one of Zambia's important bird areas (IBA), with a total of 439 species noted here, including Zambia's only endemic, Chaplin's barbet.
