Southern Lodge is accommodation in Choma, Lusaka & Kafue Flats, Zambia. We have confirmed that it exists and exactly where it stands, but not what kind of property it is, so we describe it simply as accommodation rather than guess at a category.
Best for
Anyone splitting the Lusaka to Livingstone drive into two comfortable days, and visitors to the Southern Province farming country.
Location
Choma sits on the Batoka plateau on the main road between Lusaka and Livingstone, high enough to be noticeably cooler than the valley and surrounded by commercial farmland. It has a long settler and Tonga history, a provincial museum and crafts centre, and the unhurried feel of a Southern Province market town rather than a tourist stop.
Southern Lodge stands inside the approved Choma catchment, at Zambia. That placement comes from establishment-level coordinates, not a town centroid, which matters here: distances are long and a property half an hour further on is a different driving day.
Rooms and style at Southern Lodge
We could not confirm the property format from a first-party source, so we do not describe the rooms at Southern Lodge. Room types, bed configuration and standards are worth confirming directly before you book.
Facilities at Southern Lodge
Public source detail on facilities here is limited, and we do not repeat operators’ own marketing lists. Parking, catering and meeting space are the things most often asked about and least often listed, so ask directly.
Trade-offs and what to know
This is a working town rather than a resort. You are close to the road, which is why it works as a stop and also why it will not feel like a destination in itself. We have verified that the property exists and where it stands, but not its category or standard.
Getting there and getting around
Choma is on the T1 about two hundred and eighty kilometres south of Lusaka and roughly halfway to Livingstone, on the Batoka plateau, and the road is tarred throughout. Once here, a vehicle is the practical way to move around.

Before you book
Worth confirming directly with Southern Lodge or the booking provider, because we have not verified them: check-in times, whether meals are available, secure parking and whether a late arrival can be held. We could not confirm current trading status from a dated first-party source, so check the property is open for your dates before committing to the route.
Current rates and availability
We do not publish fixed rates for Southern Lodge, because pricing and availability change with dates and demand.
