Zambia is one of the most underestimated tourist destinations—especially for those seeking endless action and activity. Named after the Zambezi River, the vivacious country is brimming with adventure. Zambia is also renowned for pioneering safari walking, a more audacious approach to game viewing.
At this point, while enthused with rare sightings and epic adventures, your back muscles and legs are bound to feel pretty tense. To prevent such a desperate approach to relaxation, we recommend booking a spa day ahead of time. Even the biggest adventurers need a respite every once in a while. How else would you prepare for your next big one? Found in the Royal Zambezi Lodge—one of our best luxury hotels in Zambia —the spa draws its inspiration from its surreal natural surroundings.
And whilst the beauty of the spa lies in its raw ruggedness, the treatments are refined to hit all the right spots. Take your time to browse through the extensive menu. But if choosing one is impossible, we recommend the Traditional Zambian Ukuchina. Located in one of our best luxury hotels, the tranquil environment lends itself to the ultimate spa day. Drawing inspiration from Bali, India, Malawi and Sweden, it takes the best from each country and makes it its own. The interior however stays true to its African roots with local artworks and elegant pops of color.
The products used are also locally sourced and infused with the organic Zambian spirit, giving your skin the ability to cope with the soaring temperatures.
All treatments are performed on your private deck, overlooking the grand Zambezi River. And as you shut your eyes to the healing touch of expert therapists, the sounds of the wilderness transport you to another world. And it is usually a highlight for all guests. They are manufactured in the small town of Mazabuka so their use empowers the local community.
