The Bushcamp Company offers small and intimate bush camps located in the exclusive and remote south of the iconic South Luangwa National Park. This six day safari stays at the award-winning Mfuwe Lodge just inside the main park gate, popular for the elephants that walk through the reception, and is combined with four nights between two different bush camps. Experienced local guides, who grew up in the bush, provide complete flexibility with safaris in the Park, which is renowned for an unrivalled wildlife experience in one of the last unspoilt wilderness regions of Africa – the very place where the African walking safari was pioneered.

Trip itinerary
On arrival at Lusaka Airport you will be met just after immigration by a representatives who will assist you with your bags and check-in onto the Proflight scheduled flight to Mfuwe Airport.
On arrival at Mfuwe Airport you will be met by a guide from the Bushcamp Company who will transfer you to the lodge. This drive will be approximately one hour.
Accommodation: 1 night Mfuwe Lodge.
Ease yourself into Luangwa life with a stay at the award-winning Mfuwe Lodge. Set inside the park, just five minutes drive from the main gate, the lodge's allure is instantly obvious. Beneath a canopy of ebony and mahogany, its eighteen air-conditioned chalets are arranged around the banks of two lagoons where an endless stream of wildlife will keep you enthralled as you lounge on the open deck or take a dip in the swimming pool. The airy interior of the lodge is an exquisite complement to its natural surroundings.
This region of the park is renowned for its prolific game - giraffe, hippos, buffalo, antelope, and crocodile are constant visitors to Mfuwe Lodge's lagoon, whilst in November the local elephants regularly wander right through the lobby, lured by a nearby wild mango tree.
The lodge team will confirm the arrangements and timing of your transfer to the Southern part of the park today. This drive is done as a game drive transfer and will take approximately 3 hours, depending on what game you see enroute. You will spend the next two nights at Kapamba Bushcamp, exploring the area on walking safaris and game drives. (BLD)
Please note: Your final itinerary and combination of camps is chosen by the Bushcamps Company 2 weeks prior to travel.
Accommodation: 2 nights Kapamba Bushcamp (or similar) - advised which camp before departure.
Set on the banks of the Kapamba River, Kapamba Bushcamp's four stone chalets have one wall that is a spider-web design of metal latticework, giving guests an amazing view of the Kapamba River. Guests can watch the frequent wild visitors to the river from the multi-level main deck, or from the comfort of their own private verandas or pool-size bathtubs. Sundowners in the river and bush dinners are popular additions to the itinerary for Kapamba stays.
Enjoy scheduled game viewing activities. (BLD)
This morning you will walk to your next Bushcamp. This walk will take approximately 3 hours. Your luggage will be sent separately by vehicle so you will need to have this ready when you meet this morning for your early morning tea/coffee before leaving camp. You will spend the next two nights at the Bushcamp exploring the area on walking safaris and game drives. (BLD)
Accommodation: 2 nights Chindeni Bushcamp (or similar) - advised which camp before departure.
In an enviable location on the edge of a lagoon where hippos snort and elephant wallow, stands Chindeni - undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, tented camps in the South Luangwa.
There's something about sleeping under canvas that ignites a sense of adventure in everyone. At Chindeni you can combine that thrill with style and comfort in one of its four opulent tents. Gaze out from your private veranda onto the lagoon which attracts birds and animals from miles around. Or settle back with a gin-and-tonic in the central lounge and dining area - a glorious expanse of decking arranged on several levels around the surrounding ebony trees, boasting, of course, the same spectacular view of the serene lagoon and its inhabitants.
Enjoy scheduled game viewing activities. (BLD)
Today you will be transferred to Mfuwe Airport (via Mfuwe Lodge for freshening up) for your scheduled flight back to Lusaka. (B)
On arrival at Lusaka Airport you will be met by a representative who will assist you with your bags and check-in onto your departing flight.
