not easy to find

A mazing staff and rooms, wiew, out side was wild bird and antilopes

We didn't see much of the animals but this being the end of the rainy season, there were many places to hide and no need to go to the hotel grounds for water. The food could have been better and we had the impression that despite ambitions, some skills and knowledge were missing.

A little hard to find but worth the effort. A calm oasis next to a chaotic city. Very friendly staff and reasonably good food. Nice spacious bungalows with pleasant terrace and view.

Nothing. Although it was at the to end of my price range it was still great value for money.

This is an amazing destination close to Lusaka. Loved the location in the heart of nature. I came for just a few days to recuperate during a heavy work schedule and needed to turn my health around. The staff were amazing. Thank you team Lilayi.

Lusaka traffic! Travelling from the airport to the lodge during rush hour was very slow.

The friendliness of all the staff, the fabulous lodgesl rooms and the food! All magnificent. This was the best holiday location we have ever had.

Staff setting up for a conference when you are having breakfast is a bit disturbing. But I suppose that cant really be avoided.

Lilayi is a lovely place, a haven just outside Lusaka. We have been many times before and every time it is TOP! The vehicle came to collect us from the airstrip which is a wonderful service.

The directions on google maps lead you to a dead end in the middle of no where. Front desk seem to be aware but do nothing to solve the problem. We spent more than 30 min "lost" trying to find out how to reach the resort. Management and the website should advise guests as to the reference point on google maps to drive to from which there are signs to the lodge.

The ambiance and food were good. The rooms very clean comfortable and well appointed.

The breakfast buffet was not well stocked.

The scenery.

Nothing at all.

This was our second time at Lilayi but the first time staying overnight. We loved the location and the amenities. The room overlooking the garden was gorgeous, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset game drive with a bottle of Lilayi's lovely rosé, dinner with the wine tasting was perfect, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We booked our trip last minute but were amazed by the service we received during our stay. We will definitely be back if we have another chance!

During our stay, we were told that Lilayi Lodge doesn't offer stews, i.e., no beef or chicken stews... our kids love these, but they had to do away with them our weekend stay. Hopefully, they can consider this limitation for our little ones and even some adults..

Very fresh and tasty food from available options. The staff were extremely pleasant and our game drive was amazing. The kids' play ground was also great offering great fun in the natural and serene environment.. Lilayi Lodge has the best beds in Zambia, its super clean and simply amazing! 👌

Beautiful facilities and lots of animals one can observe from the restaurant or when walking on one of the many trails. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good vegetarian options.

Just this time it was busy and we had a family lodge for a couple. Much prefer the standard lodges with a verandah. Just a fact of life, it was busy, and we took the hit. Still excellent.

Stayed before and excellent staff and facilities. The food is always excellent.

Excellent gem to get away from it all and just relax. Beautiful surroundings, great staff and lovely food and choices of wine

We felt a bit neglected by lodge staff. Other guests arriving received a welcome drink, we did not. We were told we would receive a welcome WhatsApp that would then allow us to communicate any issues, but no message arrived. despite my going to reception to remind them. Our turndown service was forgotten on day 1. The channels on our TV stopped working during our stay, a maintenance man spent some time trying to fix it but then just disappeared without resolving anything or offering any conclusion. All very minor issues that didn't impact our overall stay, but cumulatively were a bit disappointing for the price and expected standard of this establishment.

Restaurant staff and food were exceptional. Room was incredibly comfortable, in a beautiful setting. Overall a wonderful place to relax in luxury on the outskirts of Lusaka.

The setting is wonderful.

we had a very noisy big group of people next to us for dinner, unfortunately the staff didn't manage to keep them quiet

nice nature getaway near Lusaka, good food and friendly staff

I think I should have ordered a packed breakfast as I left before it was all set up in the hotel area

The surrounding so special. Feels like a hidden gem in Lusaka

A lovely location with comfortable rooms, pretty garden, walking trails to explore and swimming pool to relax beside.

That we only had one night! Would've been good to get some advice upon check-in on how to behave around the animals - had a few hairy moments with a wart hog and some zebras! Also prepare yourself for a few long bumpy roads to reach the lodge - but it's totally worth it!

It's hard to know where to start... the incredible animals roaming freely around the chalets; the stunning chalets themselves equipped with the most aromatic natural, homemade products (from bug repellent to bathroom spray!), enormous beds and a huge private decking area to sit and watch the animals; a picture-postcard swimming pool, idyllic grounds with wildlife from giraffes to gazelles; a scenic indoor and outdoor dining area straight out of a film set and; wonderful, friendly staff! My friend and I loved every minute here and if I hadn't been on a budget or a tight schedule, I would've stayed forever! So beautiful - felt like i was in a dream!
