Shiwa Ng'andu Springs are natural geothermal springs adjacent to the remarkable Shiwa Ng'andu estate in the remote Muchinga highlands of northern Zambia — a colonial-era stately home and estate built in the 1920s by eccentric British aristocrat Stewart Gore-Browne deep in the African bush and operating today as a heritage hotel and working farm. The bicarbonate-rich springs feed the estate's grounds and have been used by the surrounding communities for therapeutic bathing, embedded in the extraordinary story of this uniquely improbable piece of English country house culture transplanted to the heart of Africa. The combination of colonial heritage, African wildlife, and natural thermal water makes Shiwa Ng'andu one of Zambia's most extraordinary and characterful destinations.
