Wildlife Camp sits on almost 300 hectares, and a good stretch of that is a private peninsula that belongs to us alone — no other camp, no public access, just bush.
Two resident leopards call the peninsula home, and there’s always elephant, giraffe, and herds of buffalo somewhere on it. Lions and wild dogs move through regularly, following the same paths the rest of the valley’s wildlife does. Elephants in particular treat it as a safe crossing point in and out of the national park — they know this stretch of ground, and they know it’s safe, so they use it accordingly.
Owning this land comes with a responsibility we take seriously. Our presence here — guides, guests, and vehicles moving through regularly — helps deter poaching, overfishing, and illegal deforestation, simply by being a consistent, watchful presence on the ground. We also work directly with the local forestry team, who patrol the peninsula as part of the wider effort to keep it protected.
As far as private-use land goes in the main South Luangwa area, there’s nothing else quite like this. It’s the only stretch of its kind, and it does double duty as a buffer between us and the other lodges nearby — keeping this corner of the valley a little quieter, and a little more ours.
