Bushcamp Company Lodges

Zambia

Set just inside the main gate of the South Luangwa National Park, the Bushcamp Company’s three luxury lodges each offer a unique safari experience.

Sitting on sun-dappled grounds overlooking two lagoons, Mfuwe Lodge is the perfect starting or end point for a safari through the Bushcamps, but also a brilliant wildlife experience in its own right. Located just next to the Lodge is the exclusive-use Director’s House, a perfect hideaway for families or small groups. A few kilometres away is KuKaya Lodge, a chalet-style, spacious lodge where each villa comes with its own guide, vehicle and host in a perfect combination of privacy, flexibility and choice.

Why we love it

Nowhere else are you able to witness herds of Elephants strolling through the lobby like seasoned guests coming to feast on the sweet fruit trees.

Authentic adventures by vehicle or on foot, in the very place where walking safaris were pioneered.

Zambia does not attract the larger corporate safari brands who seek year round operations. Instead, this is a destination driven by passionate individuals.
