Pioneer Lodge offers 11 individual thatched chalets and a beautiful 2 bedroom cottage each set within 25 acres of miombo woodland. You can walk around the property which is home to a variety of birds.
The chalets range from simple stylish comfort to higher levels of comfort, expected at any top Safari Lodge. All en-suite chalets have verandas with lovely woodland views and are very private.
Only 14 km (20 minutes) from the airport or shopping centres of Arcades and Manda Hill, Pioneer Camp is the ideal place to start and end when visiting Zambia.
At the centre of Pioneer Lodge is the open thatched bar/restaurant or ‘Chitenge’. This is for residents only and is open from 07h00 until 23h00 every day. Coffee and tea are always available here but, along with drinks from the bar, can be brought to your chalet if requested.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at the dining area. Pioneer Camp is well known for the candle lit barbeque meals served in the evenings .
There is a recreational area with swimming pool, table tennis, billiards etc. A library of informative books about wildlife, fauna and flora of Zambia and other parts of Africa and holiday novels is also at your disposal.
The campsite and simple chalets share charcoal-heated showers (hot water at all times). The Safari Chalets with their private bathrooms and terraces are just a minutes’ walk from the Main Camp and offer a high level of privacy, facing out to offer a beautiful view of the Zambian countryside. The whole area is surrounded by an unobtrusive electric fence to ensure complete security.
