Njati Lodge Offical Opening 

Njati Lodge at Mwabvi Wildlife Reserve in now complete.  The offical opening ceremony took place on the 23 September 2010 and the lodge was opened by the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Wildlife and Culture the Mr. Augustine Mtendere M.P.  Also present was the Director of National Parks and Wildlife Mr. Leonard Sefu.

Njati Lodge is 17km from the northern gate and located on the banks of the Mwabvi River, a short walk from the start of the Mwabvi Trail where guests can visit and photograph the well known Mwabvi Tree as well as “Dove Rock and Beehive Rock” both being exposed termite mounds excavated into the sandstone hundreds of years ago. The well known Mwabvi Gorge can also be visited by guests with magnificent viewing points on the way over the Reserve. Numerous other well marked walking trails can also be accessed from the Lodge area; these cater for the serious hiker or for those just wanting to go on a casual stroll. The Lodge has six new Chalets all with en-suite bathrooms and hot water. The main Lodge area has a fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove and freezer for either full or self catering guests, a Comfortable Lounge, Spacious Dinning area, Pub, Toilets, Barbeque, and a social fire pit for guests to just relax over a drink and listen to the sounds of Africa.

 The site for the lodge was surveyed in the winter 2009, built and opened to its first visitors within the space of eight months.  Our thanks go to the teams of builders, led by Barry Kerr, for their rapid and quality work on the lodge.
