Beyond a personal retreat, Gore-Browns family has long welcomed passing travelers to spend the night. As transportation developments have allowed for ease of access, the site has become a high-class destination.

The rooms are outfitted with traditional yet comfortable furnishings, historic decorations, and all the facilities necessary for an enjoyable visit. You can venture into a number of day trips into the varying Zambian landscapes.
You can visit the Kapishya Hot Springs and soak in a natural pool with water temperatures hovering above 100F (38C).
