Kapishya is a quiet secluded 6 chalet lodge with 12 beds (families can be accommodated 4 in a room) It is situated on the Estate of Shiwa Ngandu (The Africa House) and is set along the banks of the Mansha river. The main attraction of Kapishya is its natural, sulphur free hot springs. The lodge is 32km off the Great North Road. Kapishya has a fully stocked bar and a restaurant serving high standard international cuisine. The turnoff is clearly sign posted on the 86km peg, north of Mpika. Drive times from Lusaka are approximately 8 hours and 6 hours from the Copperbelt. Fuel is usually available in Kapiri, Serenje and Mpika. If clients are continuing into North Luangwa please ensure that they carry enough spare fuel for their onward journey.
The road is very good having been recently upgraded though the last 32km is on gravel. The Lodge has 220 volt electricity (generator/solar) available 24hours a day. Fridges and freezer are run on gas and kerosene.
There are various activities available at Kapishya and on the estate. Such as River floats, game drives, visits to the manor house, horse back riding and bird walks. All activities are optional extras and must be pre-arranged with the management at the lodge.
Self-Catering and Campers
Self-caters need only bring their food with them as all bedding and eating utensils are provided. There is now a self-catering kitchen where clients can cook for themselves but we will provide a kitchen helper We will endeavour to offer limited fridge space to self-catering clients for food only!
The Campsite has running water with 5 toilets and 2 hot showers. Firewood is provided free of charge.
Unfortunately we cannot allow campers the use of the kitchen utensils and facilities but can provide meals for them by prior arrangement.
