Inside the park
Owner/family-run
Built on the site of the old Ana Tree Lodge in the quiet eastern half of the park, where vehicle traffic is a fraction of what it is near the Chongwe gate. Twelve raised suites look over the Mushika floodplain and the winterthorn parkland that draws elephant through the dry season.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Lower Zambezi National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entry$25 if you are with a licensed operator instead of self-driving.
- $30per person, per day
- VehicleUnder 3 tonnes, foreign registered.
- $15per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $225 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Camps inside the park bundle a bed-night levy and community fee on top, which together run $85 to $120 per person per night. That is the number that lands on your invoice, not the gate fee.

Indicative 2026 rates from operators' own rate cards, gathered July 2026. Always confirm with the lodge. Two things shift the real comparison here. First, camps inside the park add $85 to $120 per person per night in bundled park and conservation fees, and most quote that separately. Second, camps in the Chiawa game management area carry no national park entry fee at all unless you cross into the park, which is why a GMA bed can work out far cheaper than the headline rate suggests.
Questions about Anabezi
Is Anabezi good for families?
We checked Anabezi's own site and found no published child policy or minimum age, so ask about your children's ages when you enquire. The camp has 12 raised suites with plunge pools in the quiet eastern sector, which could suit a family group, though there is no stated family pricing or family-specific unit.
What does the rate at Anabezi include?
Anabezi does not publish its rack rate; the 2026 figure in general circulation comes from a third party, so ask the camp directly for a current quote. Whatever rate you are quoted, a contribution of $90 per person per night for park fees and the conservation levy is added to every invoice.
Can you self-drive to Anabezi?
Anabezi's own site only describes flight access: about 40 minutes from Lusaka on one of three daily scheduled Proflight services into Jeki airstrip, inside the park. No self-drive route is published, so confirm with the camp if you want to explore other options.
Is Anabezi good for a honeymoon?
The camp does not market itself specifically for honeymoons, but each of its 12 suites has a private plunge pool and double bathroom, and in-room spa treatments are offered. Paired with the quiet eastern sector, away from the busier western camps, it could suit a couple, though ask about privacy between suites when booking.
