Mama Tembo Cheza are two exclusive, entirely private cottages on the MTT Safaris’ wooded 10 hectare plot in East Lusaka, Zambia. They appeal to anyone seeking a peaceful and unique place to stay other than a Lusaka hotel and have been awarded a four star rating by the Zambian Tourism Agency. Cheza 01 is a one bedroom and is perfect for couples and solo travellers. Cheza 02 is a two bedroom cottage and is ideal for two friends traveling together or for families. Personalized services include vehicles on site for 24 hour airport transfers and early road safari departures; Lusaka tours; complimentary breakfast and catered healthy homecooked meals on request; and invitations to join the owners at the firepit and discuss the diverse and wonderful African continent.
