Located on the banks of the Malewa River, the Malewa Wildlife Lodge is surrounded by an acacia forest filled with various species of wildlife and exotic birds. Once a rudimentary lodge, it has been transformed into a stunning ecolodge which incorporates local materials into the architecture using traditional African building methods and concepts. To comply with the eco-footprint, electricity is generated by solar power, waste is recycled, water is drawn using hydro power, hot water is supplied by efficient 'kuni' boilers, and all cooking is done with gas and eco-bricks from sustainable sources.
Malewa Wildlife Lodge has four one floor cottages and one 2-storey cottage with 2 bedrooms (suitable for a family). All cottages have twin or king size double beds with warm duvets. Each room has an en-suite bathroom with a uniquely designed shower with a roof light, flush toilet, safe, 24-hour solar power and a battery charging socket. WIFI Internet access is also available.
The mess area is a beautiful two floor structure made up of a massive thatched roof. The upper deck is used as a game and relaxation area whereas the ground level is a lovely communal sitting area with fireplace, dining room, and bar. All the food served is sourced from local farmers.
Malewa Wildlife Lodge is a special retreat where guests can enjoy an all-encompassing nature experience that includes gentle walks with expert naturalists, fishing, biking, bush breakfasts or lunches besides day or night game drives. A minimum of 2 nights stay is recommended but many guests would have preferred to stay much longer.
