The property - the property is beautiful and truly a sanctuary. The staff - the staff are really nice, kind hearted, attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. They reflect the care of the owners and it shows. The food - the food was delicious and really fresh. You can tell that it’s locally grown and comes directly from their nearby farm. Even my kids who are really picky eaters were trying new things. Oh yeah, and they loved the Shirley temples! The experience - overall, the experience was extremely enjoyable. I was able to host some business meetings during lunch and spent time with my parents and extended family as well. My kids loved the game drive, which gave them a unique opportunity to see so many birds and animals in their natural habitat. My son hopped out of the safari truck to approach the giraffes, which he was excited about. He even communicated back and forth with the sable (smh!). Thanks for such a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to come back later this year!

The environment is safe and peaceful. Food is delicious. It's spacious for kids to run around and play. We saw beautiful giraffes. The hot water for bathing is available all day
The towels are a bit old. At times service is slow at the restaurant. The bath robes in our room seemed to not have been changed for a while,they had spiders breeding in

Great breakfast options, wonderful peaceful atmosphere Many activities to do if you choose. Nice game drive full of many herbivores.
Not knowing about the different ways to get their when the yango and google maps sent us to a road that was closed after a rainfall. There should be a message or instructions on how to get there under these circumstances.

Beautiful place. Clean and spacious. The staff were exceptionally good at making me feel comfortable and well looked after. Fantastic massage, so good I had to have another one the next day. Amazing soup of the day ( creamy butternut squash). The Impalas gracefully walking around just felt so natural.
Nothing at all. Couldn't have asked for more

Location, ability to walk and observe animals safely. Chalets, particularly double chalets were well laid out and comfortable. Facilities were good. Staff were very helpful and made us feel welcome.
Condition of road to reach property was bumpy and taxi driver struggled to find the location. Family rooms are cramped leaving little room for suitcases etc. No obvious facilities for lunch, afternoon tea or snacks, especially if visitor has no transport to access other places. Menu was not clearly labelled regarding gluten free foods, which caused an issue for one of our party. (Staff did their best to support us on this).

Where to begin with how incredible my stay at Lilayi Lodge was!!! I spent two weekends at the lodge as a relaxing respite from a stressful time at work. You will feel so far from city life, though it's so close to Lusaka. The grounds feel like a magical oasis away from all stress. I enjoyed going on long walks on the hiking trails and seeing all the wild animals roaming the grounds, the fabulous wine and delicious food, the gorgeous chalets and patio, and getting a massage on my patio. Lilayi Lodge thinks of everything, even creating a WhatsApp group for the guest to communicate any room service needs or general questions. The attention to detail in everything was impeccable. I recommend anyone needing a weekend of peace, a girl's trip, or a romantic retreat to go to Lilayi!
Not the lodge's fault, but there are so many flies following me on the walking trails that they got in the way of enjoying a peaceful quiet walk at times. I used the insect repellant but they didn't seem to care.

Serene location on the outskirts of Lusaka, home to antelope, zebra, warthogs, giraffe and more. Delicious food, wine and friendly professional staff. Sit on your private deck and wait for the animals to come to you. Perfect spot to recover from jet lag and get an introduction to safari life.

Lovely hotel set in a large fenced area with a lovely pool and attentive staff. There are nature trails and a game drive where you might see giraffes, warthog, monkeys and different varieties of antelope.
