The Luangwa River is one of southern Africa’s major life forces, meandering some 500 miles through Zambia before spilling into the great Zambezi River. It is a river that changes course with ease, weaving through mopane tree forests and grasslands, and leaving a trail of oxbow lakes and watering holes. The habitats it has forged teem with flora and fauna of every sort, making this wilderness—South Luangwa National Park—Zambia’s premier wildlife destination.
The Bushcamp Company has taken an innovative approach to accommodations in the park, creating a stunning main lodge as well as six intimate Bushcamps that offer six different experiences. Guests are invited to encounter the wilds of South Luangwa—and the safari experience—from a number of different angles.
The award-winning Mfuwe Lodge, located just inside the gates of the park, serves as the main base for exploring South Luangwa. The wildlife experience here is top-notch—and balanced by the comforts of 18 lovely chalets, spa, a pool, and spacious common areas where you can relax with a book or listen to a talk about wildlife. Many guests stay here or just stop for lunch before heading further into the park to one of the six secluded Bushcamps.
Accommodating no more than eight guests, each of the six Bushcamps has its own distinct character, whether built of reed and thatch at the edge of a lush watering hole or perched beneath billowing canvas on the shores of a winding river. These intimate and beautiful camps offer an unsurpassed immersion into some of the most remote and wildlife-rich landscapes in southern Africa.
