Konkamoya in the Nianja language means "Follow the wind". And from the wind scoured bush and Andrea's passion, in 2010, the lake side lodge was born on the banks of the Iteshi Teshi lake, in the heart of Zambia. Four luxurious tents furnished in a colonial style able to accommodate up to 8 guests only. A purposely small number of explorers with a passion for nature who are eager to explore the animal Kingdom who will be lead on a voyage of discovery of the secrets of the African Bush: Learn to follow marks, foot prints or broken twigs, the remains of banquets of mighty predators and observe the extraordinary life of insects and small mammals which are usually difficult to spot during a normal safari in a vehicle. Arriving at a few meters distance from a heard of elephants is always an awe-inspiring jaw dropping encounter. Who follows the Konkamoya wind knows that they can find a huge sensation behind every small bush, as well as finding a lake that promises new horizons for bird watching aficionados. Land and water mix into one as the call of the African water provides the soundtrack for the day accompanied by fishermen, and over the ant hill it is possible that a few hippo and lions will poke their head to say hello.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

First of all, treatment from the owners and employees make you feel you are home. It is a very clean place. Rooms are abundantly wide. Service is in a high quality level. Food and service is in a level of chef cuisine. You get a unique experience. The stay was one of the best experience in my life. I don’t know how to tell more to make you pack and go there. “Once in a life time” package in all aspects.

On our overland trip through Kafue NP we changed from camping to the luxury of Konkamoya when we saw this lovely place. This intimate lodge is situated on the flood plains of the Itezhi Tezhi dam, that offers a magnificent setting for the abundant wildlife. Owned by Andrea and ably assisted by Caterina the expert Italian chef, who cooked up a storm for us in her kitchen. There were groups of elephants continually moving through the camp to the water, which frequently delayed our movement to and from the tents. A group of five cheetah was the highlight, after Caterina’s exquisite cuisine that is. Two wonderful evenings full of wind and laughter with the hosts.

We enjoyed every second of our 4 night stay in Konkamoya lodge. Andrea, Katy, our gamedrive guide Powell and all the staff are such spontaneous and pure people. They made our stay very harmonious. The animals we saw (leopards, pangolin, elephants, zebra, hippo, hundreds of beautiful birds, jackals, white tailed mongoose, impala, puku and so many others) was a bonus. The food, the sundowners and the amazing stories that everybody shared were the finishing touch. We will be back one day! Thank you so much for your hospitality and the extra attention to my husbands birthday 💓

Caterina, Andrea & Team Konkamoya, Thanks to the warmth and hospitality of each and everyone at Konkamoya, it turned out to be one of the best bush trips we have had so far as a family. The camp, the people, the food, the drinks, and the activities will always be remembered. You all went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and well cared for throughout our time with you. We really look forward to visiting your magical place again. P.S. - A special thank you from Ahaan, our bush-going toddler who still continues making requests for our return there 😊

We had a fantastic time at Konkamoya lodge. Katharina and Andrea are perfect hosts. The food was delicious, Italian style fine dining. The rooms spacious, furnished in style and with a lovely attention to detail. Though staying just after the rainy season, we have had some amazing sceneries, e.g. twice a leopard. The birding was fantastic, too. Another highlight was certainly the huge elephant herd with 4 tiny youngsters just in front of the lounge. We will be back!

I would recommend my friends to stay in Konkamoya. Staffs including guides are very attentive and helpful. Especially Caterine, who took care of our overall arrangement was so friendly and we enjoyed her and Andrea's story, such as how they started business here, how Konkamoya is eco-friendly lodge, etc... We were impressed by their hospitality through the stay there. The lodge is located lakeside and surrounded by full of nature. We saw an elephant passing in front of the lodge. In addition, there were so many hippos around our accommodation and we could hear them groaning anytime. Even one of my friends woke up in the midnight as some hippos were making sounds just next to her tent lol. It might be better to visit at warm season as there is no heating facility in the tent. However they have electric blanket and hot shower so that you can have good sleep. Foods are basically Italian and all of them are nice. Especially their pasta is worthing trying. You can even enjoy Italian wine. There is a bonfire in the main building and it was a good memory to talk with my friends surrounding it. I really want to come back again in a different season before leaving Zambia. See you again!
