Zikomo Friday

Today I have visited Nyala Lodge.

Nyala Lodge is set within an idyllic bush scene, within Lengwe National Park. Jambo Africa Ltd aquired the tender from the Department of Parks and Wildlife in 2001. Faced with one dormitory to work with, Jambo’s team have developed the site in a low key way and have made this a very special place to explore.

Not only are you welcomed by friendly staff, as one would expect in Africa’s Warm Heart, you also have the option of comfortable chalet accomodation with eye candy decor to reflect the surrounding bush.

Day visitors are welcome and encouraged to partake in the menu. Whilst I enjoyed my meeting with Zina Dale, one of Jambo Africa’s directors, I sampled the rump steak. All the meat is farmed on the lower shire and tastes out of this world. A proper injection of protein!

After Zina had shown me around the chalets, of which there are 10, we took our MGT’s and sank ourselves in the pool. In the distance, others are also gathering at a water hole, including buffalo, nyala and warthogs.
