Lagoon Camp.

Stay in comfort

Rustic Luxury.

Nestled under the shade of evergreen trees, our five charming standalone chalets overlook a private natural lagoon, one of the Luangwa Valley’s old river bends that has become a permanent water source for wildlife.

Lagoon Camp offers a quiet space to fully immerse yourself in the safari experience, with welcoming staff providing rustic luxury comforts in an unbeatable location.
 
Especially during the dry season, the lagoon attracts animals throughout the day. Elephants, giraffes, puku, and warthogs visit regularly. Because of its remote, private setting, Lagoon Camp offers a more intimate way to experience the wildlife and rhythms of the Luangwa Valley. It’s ideal for visitors who want everything a safari can offer while staying somewhere quiet and idyllic, where they can absorb the day’s charm.

Spend a night under the stars

Luangwa Sleepout

Some nights, a roof just gets in the way.

Fall asleep in a bed of stars, deep in the Zambian bush. Open-air and raised on stilts, the Luangwa Sleepout brings you closer to the wilderness without sacrificing comfort. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to wake up with only the vivid horizon for company, this is your chance. 

Our Luangwa Sleepouts offer a truly wild experience. Set so remotely, you’ll take a guided walking safari with our knowledgeable, personable guides to reach camp. Beyond the reward of being surrounded by wild animals at camp, the Sleepout’s attentive staff, delicious meals, and delightfully basic, practical bathroom facilities make for an adventurous, rewarding experience.
 
Spend a night immersed in the bush, with nothing between you and the stars but a mosquito net and the sounds of the African wilderness all around.
A little more remote

Island Bush Camp

Set beneath towering mahoganies on the Luangwa River’s edge, Island Bush Camp offers an entry point to some of the wildest parts of South Luangwa National Park. Far from the crowds, this camp offers a truly immersive wilderness experience
 
On your way to Island Bush Camp, you’ll thread through ancient woodlands, green riverbanks, and rural villages with mango groves lining the road. At camp, sweeping views of the distant Chindeni Hills to the east and the Muchinga escarpment to the west frame an iconic landscape that will stay with you for years.

Our Activities.

Conservation

Giving Back to the Valley.

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

A portion of every night you spend at Wildlife Camp goes directly to WECSZ, helping to engage local communities in environmental and conservation work.

This support takes many forms. Through the Chongololo and Chipembele Conservation Clubs (CCCCZ), along with their associated radio channels, conservation education reaches communities across the region. In collaboration with WWF Zambia, we’ve helped establish four community-led forest management groups in the upper Luangwa catchment, protecting over 3,500 hectares of forest. Our own private peninsula, spanning 296 hectares, is safeguarded by our activities and fisheries team, while our guide training programme offers hands-on internships for the next generation of safari guides. On property, dedicated wildlife conservation buildings further support this ongoing work.
