Kapishya Hot Springs Zambia

Kapishya Hot Springs, in the remote Muchinga Province of northern Zambia near the North Luangwa National Park, is a secluded bush spa retreat set in pristine African wilderness where natural thermal waters emerge from crystalline rock at a comfortable 42 degrees Celsius, flowing into a pool amid riverine forest and surrounded by fish eagles, hippos, and elephants. The sodium and bicarbonate thermal waters of Kapishya emerge from the geothermal activity of the Luangwa Rift Valley system, part of the East African Rift that shapes the tectonic and geothermal character of this remote Zambian highland landscape between the Luangwa and Luapula river systems. The extraordinary walking safaris in North Luangwa National Park — one of Africa's most pristine and least-visited wildlife reserves — the historic Shiwa Ngandu manor house of the eccentric English aristocrat Sir Stewart Gore-Browne, and the remote bush wilderness of the Muchinga Escarpment make Kapishya one of Africa's most uniquely adventurous thermal spa destinations.
