Luwi Bush Camp

For something completely authentic and satisfying, book the innovative and remote tented accommodation at Luwi Bush Camp for a true Zambian safari in the heart of the South Luangwa National Park. It’s a seasonal camp that introduces its guests to the romance of pioneer walking safaris into one of the best wildlife areas in Zambia. 

Basic, yet functional furniture in rustic bush huts creates a unique home for the duration of your magical stay at Luwi Bush Camp, an off-the-tourist trail safari filled with adventure and excitement. So, make sure you book your wilderness vacation between May and October to a camp hiding under magnificent mahogany trees on the banks of a deep lagoon in a drier area of South Luangwa National Park.

Tracking wild animals on foot from Luwi Camp is the focus here in a region where few roads even exist, a Norman Carr brainchild since the 1980s when the man himself spotted the site for this camp and built his walking safari dreams into the activities it offers. Luangwa is known as a wilderness trail destination and this bush camp offers the appropriate accommodation for this in four huts created from grass, reeds and thatch with polished mud floors! 

Luwi Bush Camp is a rustic chic camp made for walkers who want to get into nature and see biodiversity up front, the way it really is. A small, thatched area over the bar is the perfect shady relaxing corner while meals are shared under the trees during the day and around the traditional boma fire at night under skies full of stars while nocturnal animals call around you. 

The lagoon in front of the camp is brimming with hippos, crocs and diverse wildlife comes and goes. The camp blends into these surroundings and guests awaken to the animal and bird chorus at dawn. Get up early, walk all morning and return for a hearty brunch and chill time until the next sundowner activity.
