On the banks of the Luangwa River, The Sunset House offers an exclusive retreat where luxury meets wilderness, creating unforgettable moments for families and friends alike.

Unveiled in November 2023, The Sunset House stands as a testament to refined African luxury on the edge of the magnificent Luangwa floodplains. Adjacent to Kafunta River Lodge, this exclusive safari house captures the essence of sophisticated wilderness living while providing an intimate setting for memorable gatherings. Named for the golden hues that paint the Luangwa sky at dusk, the property harmoniously blends private sanctuaries with communal spaces, creating an environment where comfort meets adventure.

Experience & Activities:

The Sunset House experience is crafted around flexibility and personal attention, with a dedicated team including a private chef, butler, and guide attending to every detail. Days unfold at your chosen pace, whether embarking on thrilling game drives, exploring local villages, or simply unwinding by the infinity pool. As evening approaches, gather around the crackling fireplace to share tales of the day’s adventures over gourmet meals prepared by your personal chef.

The property’s location offers prime access to the region’s spectacular wildlife viewing opportunities, with customized safari activities available for guests aged 6 and above (younger children considered upon request). Bush walks provide an intimate perspective of the wilderness, while game drives reveal the abundant wildlife that calls this region home.

Accommodations:

The thoughtfully designed accommodation at The Sunset House consists of two elegant units that together welcome up to nine guests. The main unit houses two spacious en-suite bedrooms – one featuring a king-size bed, the other with twin beds – connected by a welcoming shared lounge area. Adjacent to this, a separate unit offers a third en-suite bedroom with a king-size bed, providing additional privacy and retreat-like atmosphere.

Each beautifully appointed bedroom comes complete with a luxurious full bathroom featuring double vanities, modern shower facilities, and a comfortable sitting area with a convertible daybed for additional sleeping arrangements. The rooms are equipped with modern amenities including WiFi connectivity, premium organic toiletries, and practical features such as ceiling fans and mosquito nets for comfort in all seasons.

The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive, featuring an expansive deck that hosts an inviting swimming pool, comfortable alfresco dining area, and a cozy fireplace for evening gatherings. Located just 50 minutes from Mfuwe airport, the house maintains a fully stocked refreshment facility, ensuring every comfort is at hand throughout your stay.
