Itezhi-Tezhi

Go Back

Rustic. Remote. Rewarding.

Tucked between the southern edge of Kafue National Park and the Itezhi-Tezhi Dam, this little-known destination is a hidden gem for events that prize remoteness, community engagement, and nature immersion. Itezhi-Tezhi is not for large crowds—but for intentional, small-format gatherings, it delivers a rare and rewarding experience.

Lodges like Konkamoya Lodge and Puku Pan Safari Lodge offer eco-conscious accommodation and private venues where nature frames every moment. Sunset meetings on dam-view decks, storytelling nights around the fire, and boat-based excursions become part of the event’s rhythm. These properties cater to up to 20–30 guests and are particularly suitable for eco-retreats, leadership immersions, and off-grid think tanks.

What sets Itezhi-Tezhi apart is its quiet, slow energy. There are no cities or distractions—only nature and local life. Events often include visits to local fishing villages, schools, or traditional dance troupes, adding a deeply human layer. For NGOs or research groups, this is fertile ground for environmental learning and grassroots dialogue.

Logistics require effort—roads are long and mobile coverage is weak—but that is part of the draw. Many planners use Itezhi-Tezhi as a digital detox space or a base camp for safari-based leadership programmes. The dam itself provides visual drama, with misty mornings and golden-hour views across the water.

For events that don’t need a stage but need a story, Itezhi-Tezhi is quietly spectacular. It asks for presence, offers perspective, and leaves guests changed.
