WILD

By Nature.

On the Luangwa River

since 1992

Wildlife Camp Zambia

The Best Sunset in the Valley.

Wildlife Camp has been on the banks of the Luangwa River since 1992.

Set on a 296-hectare private peninsula, our camp offers a unique way to experience South Luangwa, where wildlife moves freely along the riverbanks, elephants wander past camp, and you can watch hippos from the bar over a sundowner.
 
Our riverside setting presents a rare balance of wilderness and accessibility. Far enough from town to enjoy the quiet rhythms of the bush and the wildlife that visit throughout the day, yet just a 15-minute drive from the main entrance to South Luangwa National Park, Wildlife Camp is an ideal base for exploring one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations. Whether you arrive with your own tent or want a more complete safari experience, we offer diverse accommodation to ensure every visitor can enjoy the magic of the Luangwa River in comfort.

Adventure COLLECTION

Chalets, tents,
and Campsites.

Our Adventure Collection combines comfort with affordability. Choose from a wide range of accommodations and packages, all with the wild river right outside your door.

Camping

5 riverfront · 5 Standard · 3 Overlander

Our camping area sits right on the river’s edge, with every site featuring a shelter and a short walk to the bar and pool. Choose one of five front-row riverfront campsites for uninterrupted views, or settle into a spot close to the river or our secluded lagoon hide. Overlanders and larger groups are welcome. With convenient facilities and unbeatable scenery, our campground is designed for relaxation and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Safari Tents

10 Standard · 20 PAX

En-suite safari tents line the banks of the Luangwa River, offering a private vantage point for spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Each tent features two single beds and a newly renovated bathroom, blending camping with extra comfort and privacy. Enjoy the relaxing riverside setting just a short walk from the campsite, bar, and pool.  Each tent promises exceptional comfort, quality, and views you won’t soon forget.

Chalets

3 Standard · 1 Family · 11 PAX

Our chalets are Wildlife Camp’s largest and most private accommodations. Located near the bar, our four rustically charming chalets overlook the Luangwa River. From your room, you can watch baboons frolic in the field and large mammals amble by daily.  Family chalets offer two rooms for extra space. This option is perfect for travelers seeking affordable, tranquil amenities and front-row views of the valley’s natural beauty.

Dorms

3 Dorms · 12 PAX

Built for backpackers, overlanders, and wayward adventurers who’ve been on the road a while and need a proper bed, a hot shower, and a safe place to park up for the night. Shared dorm-style rooms, simple and comfortable, right in the middle of the same wild stretch of river as the rest of the camp. Enjoy incredible wildlife views, unlike any hostel or shared-dorm experience elsewhere, with wildlife teeming out your back door. We offer flexible packages for day trips into the park, and we can arrange transit from town for those traveling without a car. Wildlife Camp dorms offer a unique opportunity to experience a safari lifestyle at backpacking prices.

SIGNATURE COLLECTION

Conservation

Giving Back to the Valley.

We’re proud to continue our partnership with WECSZ, Zambia’s longest-standing conservation NGO.

At Wildlife Camp, we’re deeply rooted in the Luangwa Valley: our commitment goes far beyond just offering a safari.

Part of every night’s stay goes directly to the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia (WECSZ), supporting vital work to protect this remarkable place and empower local communities through conservation education and action.

Thanks to the Chongololo and Chipembele Conservation Clubs (and their radio programs), conservation messages reach families all over the region. With our support and that of others, WWF Zambia has created four community-led forest management groups in the upper Luangwa catchment, now protecting more than 3,500 hectares of forest.

Closer to home, our activities and fisheries team looks after our 296-hectare peninsula, and our guide training program gives the next generation of safari guides hands-on experience. We also have dedicated wildlife conservation facilities right here on the property.

When you stay here, you’re part of something bigger. Your visit helps protect the Luangwa Valley’s wildlife, landscapes, and communities for generations to come.
