VISIT WINA
Your stay sustains conservation.
Wina offers a comfortable base in one of Zambia's most overlooked ecosystems. Over twenty kilometres of trails. The verdant West Lunga River curls around the property and travels south to join the mighty Zambezi River. Skies and trees full of birds unique to this region of Zambia.
Whether you come for the trails, the river, the tranquillity, or all three — you'll leave having done something that lasts. When you stay with us, you're not just visiting — you're funding land stewardship, wildlife protection and care, and community partnerships. Every night at Wina has a direct impact.
Accommodation
Our accommodation is designed to blend into the landscape — comfortable, considered, and built to let the landscape do the talking. Good beds, hot water, quiet nights, and views that remind you where you are.
The Main House
The original family home, now a shared retreat sleeping up to 7. Two expansive ensuite suites at either end, with a large social heart at the centre: fully equipped kitchen, long dining table, shared living space, and a deck watching the sun go down over the crater.
Best for families or groups wanting an exclusive, lived-in feel.
Suite 1:
King bed + single. Ensuite with bath and shower. Max 3 pax.
Suite 2:
King bed + bunk bed. Ensuite with shower. Max 4 pax.
Family Chalets
Two thatched ensuite cottages with private verandas overlooking the crater. Each is its own retreat — connected to the wilderness, comfortably accommodated. Double bed plus a single, mini fridge, and a simple outdoor kitchenette with a braai stand for cooking with a view. We have plans to add a separate bedroom.
Family Chalet 1:
Double bed + single. Max 3 pax.
Family Chalet 2:
Double bed + single. Max 3 pax.
Double Chalets
Newly added — two ensuite cottages, tucked into the canopy with private verandas facing the crater — sunset unfolding straight ahead. Each chalet is its own quiet retreat: close to the wilderness, comfortably furnished, with a shower and loo that keep the view. Double bed. An intimate hideaway — no kitchen, so you can simply be here while our kitchen takes care of the rest.
Double Chalet 1:
Double bed. Max 2 pax.
Double Chalet 2:
Double bed. Max 2 pax.
River Cottage
Tucked away under a dense canopy of trees, River Cottage is filled with birdsong and the sound of the West Lunga River — an intimate setting from the moment you arrive. Its sprawling deck overlooks the river, with sunrise views across the water. Inside: a king bedroom, a fully furnished kitchen, and a comfortable living area. The bathroom is fitted with a bath built to take in the same river view, with an outdoor shower just beside it.
One day bed sits inside for an extra guest; another sits outside on the deck, for anyone who’d rather fall asleep under the canopy of stars. Private and self-contained, set apart from the rest of the property.
River Cottage:
King bed + day bed (inside & outside, on request). Max 3 pax.
Glamping
All the ease of camping, with none of the pitching. On request, we set up a tent for you on our camping grounds tucked beneath a canopy of trees, each tent furnished with a single bed (a second single bed can be added on request), so you can arrive, unpack and settle straight in. The grounds have hot showers, flush toilets and braai stands, plus a communal hut with power sockets. Guests also have access to Wi-Fi, filtered water and a washing machine for laundry (pay per load) on the property. Rest easy, and wake to a chorus of birdsong.
Larger groups: The Main House and 2 Family Chalets sleep up to 13 adults in beds. The campsite adds more. Contact us to plan the best layout for your group.
Self-Camping
Pitch your own tent, or park your overland truck, on our well-kept grounds tucked beneath a canopy of trees. The grounds have hot showers, flush toilets and braai stands, plus a communal hut with power sockets. Guests also have access to Wi-Fi, filtered water and a washing machine for laundry (pay per load) on the property. Settle in, and let the sounds of the bush do the rest.

Every accommodation at Wina is designed to blur the lines between shelter and landscape —
intimate enough to feel like home, open enough to feel like wilderness.
Food & Drink
We now offer full board catering — by prior arrangement — tasty healthy meals using local ingredients.
Guests are welcome to self-cater — the Main House and Family Chalets have equipped kitchens, and our staff will help with meal preparation and washing/tidying as required. Bring your favourite ingredients. We have a simple Trust Bar stocked with a selection of wines, beers, and soft drinks, or bring your own if self-catering.
A note on the essentials:
Water is borehole-fed and safe to drink, with an additional advanced filter available. We run entirely on solar — something we're proud of — so on cloudy days we ask guests to be mindful of power use.
We have Starlink for connectivity (and if you need to get some work done we can facilitate), but we'd gently encourage you to use it sparingly. You came here for other kinds of connection.
GUEST IMPACT
Your Visit. Their Survival.
The connection is more direct than you might think. Every night you stay at Wina enables
us to keep the birds overhead, sitatunga in the floodplain, and the pangolins moving
through the dark — alive, wild, and here for the next person who finds this place.
Revenue from your stay goes directly into the work: anti-poaching patrols, snare removal,
fire prevention, dry-season wildlife support, habitat restoration, and the community
partnerships that make all of it last.
One night at Wina helps prevent poaching and fires, feeds animals through the dry season, and keeps this extraordinary ecosystem alive — for the wildlife that depends on it, and the travellers still to come.
