Fresh, Safe, and Sustainable: The Story of Our Water at Msandile River Lodge

From Borehole to Your Glass
Earlier this year, we invested in building a dedicated water treatment plant, located just behind our restaurant building. The plant is directly connected to our borehole, which taps into a clean underground water source. From there, the water is carefully filtered and treated in various tanks to ensure that it is completely safe for drinking.

Water You Can Trust
Msandile River Lodge is one of the very few lodges in Zambia where you can drink water straight from the tap—whether in the restaurant or in your accommodation. This makes your stay not only convenient but also reassuring, as every drop is fresh, clean, and safe.

Safe Water in Every Detail
Because our water is treated to the highest standards, you can rest assured that the fruits, vegetables, and salads served at the lodge are washed in perfectly safe water. The same goes for all the food prepared by Chef Douglas and his team.

Our swimming pool is also filled with this fresh borehole water. To ensure maximum cleanliness, we treat it with additional chlorine, so you can enjoy a safe and refreshing dip at any time.

A Commitment to Guests and the Environment
For us, safe drinking water is more than just a comfort—it’s part of our commitment to sustainability and guest wellbeing. By sourcing, treating, and providing our own fresh water, we reduce the need for bottled water and help protect the beautiful environment of the Luangwa Valley.

So, the next time you sip a glass of cold, refreshing water at Msandile River Lodge, you can enjoy it with peace of mind, knowing it comes directly from our very own borehole and treatment plant.
