Why you'll love this trip.

  • Three nights to properly settle into Lagoon Camp, our most private stretch of river, without feeling rushed between activities.
  • Two activities every day — walking safaris, morning and night game drives, and a village or textile tour, all led by our most experienced guides.
  • One night at the Star Beds — a raised platform open to the sky, with a private bathroom and eating area below, for the shortest, most memorable addition to any stay.
  • Every meal taken care of, from breakfast to a three-course dinner, plus laundry, so there’s nothing to plan once you’re here.
  • Airport and inter-camp transfers included, door to door from the moment you land

The day-to-day

Itinerary.

Arrival at Lagoon Camp

Fly into Mfuwe Airport, where we’ll be waiting to transfer you straight to Lagoon Camp. Settle into your chalet, get your bearings over lunch, and ease into camp life — the first activity is whenever you’re ready.

A full day at Lagoon Camp

Start with a morning walking safari on our private peninsula, then spend the afternoon on a village or textile tour — a change of pace from the bush, and a chance to see how life looks on the other side of the river.

Game drives, then a night under the stars

A morning game drive while the light’s still good, back to Lagoon Camp for lunch, then out again for an evening drive as the sun goes down. Afterwards, we transfer you to the Star Beds — dinner is taken care of, then it’s up the platform to sleep with nothing but a mosquito net between you and the sky.

Final morning and departure

Wake up to the valley from the platform, then head back to Lagoon Camp for breakfast before we transfer you to Mfuwe Airport in time for your onward flight.

Where you'll be staying.

your first 2 nights

Lagoon Camp

The Luangwa Valley is shaped by its lagoons — old curves of the river, cut off over time, that hold water long after the rest of the bush has dried out. Elephants come down to drink most mornings and again in the late afternoon. Giraffe, puku, and warthog drift through in between. It’s the kind of view that has a way of keeping you in your chair longer than you meant to stay.

It’s still ours, still on the same 296 hectares, but it’s a quieter corner, built for guests who want a little more distance and a little more comfort without leaving the wildlife behind.

Next 3 nights

Island Bush Camp

Some nights, a roof just gets in the way. The Sleepout is a raised platform on stilts, open to the sky, with nothing between you and the Milky Waay but a mosquito net. No walls. No ceiling. Just the sounds of the valley doing what it does after dark — hippos grumbling down at the water, the odd hyena whooping somewhere off in the dark, and more stars than you knew were up there.

It’s not roughing it, though. Below the platform is a private bathroom and an eating area, so you climb the ladder to sleep and everything else is sorted for you at ground level. Dinner first, then up you go.
