Calmrest Lodges Limited

We are delighted to welcome all our valued guests both local and international to Calmrest Lodges as we gather to experience the vibrant Nc'wala Ceremony taking place on 28th February 2026 here in Chipata, Zambia.
This year’s celebration is especially significant as it marks over 190 years of the proud heritage of the Ngoni people in Zambia. The Nc'wala Ceremony is a powerful annual tradition that honours unity, cultural identity, and the first fruits of the harvest. It is a time of colour, music, dance, and deep cultural pride.
We are honoured to host you throughout the week and look forward to sharing not only warm hospitality and comfort, but also the rich cultural experience that makes this occasion so special.
Welcome to the Eastern Province.
