Mfuwe Lodge
Mfuwe Lodge is one of two permanent lodges located within
South Luangwa National Park. It is hidden away among the huge
ebony and fig trees on the banks of an oxbow lagoon.
Accommodation is provided in 18 open-plan chalets, each with
en-suite bathroom and thatched roof designed to guarantee
ventilation. Each chalet has a large private deck overlooking
one of the lagoons.
The central lodge provides reception, lounge, dining and bar
areas. A broad timber deck cantilevers over the main lagoon
where guests may view animals come down to drink. An open boma
offers dinners under starlit African skies and after
dinner drinks and talk around the campfire.
The deck accommodates the swimming pool which also
overlooks the main lagoon. A library is dedicated to nature,
African culture, tradition and history.
Gameviewing and walking safaris
The South Luangwa National Park is noted for the diversity
of its wildlife, and it is THE home of the walking safari.
Bushcamp guides are highly qualified and knowledgeable and will
impart a detailed understanding of the ecology and wildlife as
you walk along.
A
typical itinerary would start at Mfuwe lodge and spend 2-3
nights each at your choice of the bushcamps As the
distance between the lower 4 camps is about 6 kms each, the
distance can be covered as a guided game walk.
While game walks give you an up close and personal view of
the bush, game drives will provide an opportunity to see a
broader area. Also, because it is difficult to approach
game closely on foot, game drives will enhance your safari
experience. Transfers can also be done by vehicle, and you
can enjoy the Bushcamp experience without walking if you prefer.
Kuyenda Camp
Kuyenda is nestled amongst shady trees on the banks of the
Manzi River. Accommodation is in 4 authentic thatched rondavels
containing large spacious beds, mosquito netting and en-suite
facilities including shower, toilet and wash basin.

plain with abundant wildlife where the drama of wild Africa is
your stage.

continual unfolding of Africa's dramatic wilderness at close
range.
With only 4 en-suite chalets, Kuyenda offers exclusive
personalized service and tranquility.

Luangwa River, where a series of 7 ox-box lagoons yield a diversity

vista, the front of each tree house provides a birds eye view over
