Getting There

Blue Lagoon National Park is located about 100 kilometers west of Lusaka and the drive takes less than 2 hours. Visitors are advised to travel in a 4WD car or a capable equivalent.

This makes Blue Lagoon National Park a very easy getaway for a weekend from Zambia's capital - Lusaka.

Where To Stay

Blue Lagoon National Park has a number of accommodation options for overnight guests. There are chalets near the old farmhouse (now park reception) and some newer lodging properties.

The park doesn't receive very many visitors and so the limited accommodation will mostly not become a problem. We advise that you call ahead just to make sure that you will have some space saved for you.
