Relax

We spent five wonderful days at the Royal Sichanga Village and highly recommend this peaceful lodge where the elephants roam freely.

Good accommodation, great waterfall shower, comfortable beds and fantastic staff. The food is good, the bar is great and the staff goes out of its way to ensure that your stay is as comfortable as possible. A door to the bathroom would help ensure privacy. Take mosquito repellent!

Thank you to Darius and his staff for a great stay!

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff

It was a very peaceful stay, very relaxing i even forgot i was there for business. Darius was a very accommodating host.

I was unable to take up the booking on 23 December because oc tbe unsatisfactory state of the place. As advised to the manager i shall grateful for a refund of fhe money.Thanking you in advanceHerrick Mpuku Fdyg

The place was nice but they suffered from having changed ownership recently(?). Therefore the place has changed name from Bushfront Lodge, but Hotels.com has  not aknowledged that so when we arrived they had no booking and no receipt that we had paid. Byt the lodge sorted it out smoothly.Our biggest complaint is about smell. We were given a bungalow that obviously hadn't been used for quite some time, the room did not smell nice simply. And then later when we used the water it smelled like rotten eggs! However, when we complained about the situation the day after, we were given a nice bungalow without smell and with nice water.

Both pros and cons

I have never seen a camp so poorly constructed and on the fringe of a mosquito infested swamp. I have travelled extensively all over Africa and have never seen so many mosquitos in my life. I will let you know if i have contracted malaria.

where not to stay

My latest experience with Bushfront isn't good at all. The booking wasn't in the system but this isn't a problem as the lodge didn't have other guests. The chalets / rooms are not smelling fresh. When coming from dinner in town we found the main gate open and no guard nearby.

A run down place

We spent one night at the campsite and I advise you not to go there as it is a dangerous place!!! 

In the middle of the night a couple of elephants came into the campsite and during 2 hours destroyed trees and our tent! A security guard who they officially contracted never showed up, the fences do not work which makes it possible for elephants to come to the property! They admitted in the morning that it happens often, nevertheless when we arrived nobody informed us about it. We have been camping in Africa for 2 months now and this has been by far our worst experience!!! Moreover they will ask you to sign a waiver so that they are not responsible for any damage that happens to you at their property (they did not give it to us by their mistake) 

Moreover nobody could shower or go to a toilet as there are hundreds of mosquitos inside!! 

I strongly discourage you from going there!! 

Warning: a dangerous place!! 

OK, the lodges were a bit fun down and shabby, but they were clean and the staff sprayed deet in the rooms nightly so the mossies didn't hassle you.

All the staff were friendly and helpful, happy to answer questions. For the price the food was good and it was nice to have a choice for breakfast.

We would happily stay here again, even if it was just for the showers!

Lovely Place, Great Staff

My husband and I volunteer in Zambia and went to Bushfront to get away and refresh. We were the only guests in the whole facility for the two days. On our second night there at 2 in the morning, we woke to someone tampering with the door handle. My husband opened the door and found a guy in all black standing just beyond our porch. After yelling at him, he turned and ran away. The security came in a couple minutes to check on us and, after seeing we were fine, went to look for the guy. We checked our stuff and thought everything was there. But in the morning we found that he had stolen all of our US and Zambian money, about $550.

We've been very disappointed with how the situation has been handled. We only worked with the supervisor and were told the manager lives in Lusaka (about 8 hours away). We never received any calls from any higher management. Everyone who listened to the details of events were convinced it was an inside job and yet we never heard of anyone getting interrogated. They didn't get the police involved until late in the afternoon when we pushed them to. And now it's been about two weeks and we haven't heard anything from the lodge or the police. We are very disappointed and unfortunately cannot recommend this lodge.
