Shiwa Ngandu

Shiwa Ng'andu estate is without a doubt one of the most fascinating and unique destinations in Zambia.

Shiwa is located in the Northernmost part of Zambia amongst the rolling granite hills that form the tail end of the Great Rift Valley, an area of unsurpassed natural beauty, the "Real Africa".

The estate combines this rich and varied history with a world class private game reserve that is home to over thirty species of wildlife and over two-hundred species of birds.
 
The wildlife reserve covers an area of twenty-two thousand acres of breathtaking terrain and boasts a large natural lake at it's center, one of the largest privately owned bodies of water in Africa.

Shiwa has four comfortable en-suite guest rooms, furnished with most of the original pieces from Gore Browne’s era creating a feeling of by gone times.

Meal times are an opportunity to sample the delicious farm produce and sit at the original dining room table that Shiwa Manor House Gore-Browne frequented in full dress whilst entertaining various dignitaries, from Zambian President’s, European Royalty and friends from around the world.

The Impandala Farm House

Nestled in a heady grove of tall trees, 10 minutes drive from the main house, is Impandala House. This is the most beautiful of farm houses with dramatic views and originally built to house a pair of Scottish missionaries translating the bible from English to Bemba.

The house has four spacious and light bedrooms – two en-suite , a warm, hospitable lounge and dining room opening on to a typically colonial all round veranda that offers spectacular views down to the lake.

Activities include:
exclusive game and bird walks and drives, community interaction, a visit to an iron age archaeological site, boating or fishing on the lake, a day trip to see the working farm, early morning climbs in to the Swamp Hides and forest walks to see the little Blue Duiker.
