THE BUSHCAMPS SAFARI
Luangwa Experience

On arrival at Mfuwe Airport, you will be collected for your journey to Mfuwe Lodge.

Day 1: Mfuwe Lodge
The open-plan design of Mfuwe's new structures keeps the comfort and relaxation of guests in mind, but also capitalises on the fact that an African wilderness experience is a blend of colours and textures, sounds, aromas and sights unmatched anywhere else in the world.

Accommodation is provided in 18 open-plan chalets, each with en-suite bathroom. One third of each chalet's perimeter can be opened, to allow the guest to enjoy the views, the sounds, the scents and the mood of the African wilderness. Each chalet has a large private deck overlooking one of the lagoons. The bathrooms have both bath and shower, with separate toilet. The bathing corner can be completely opened to offer guests an open-air bathing experience. Five Chalets are suites with an elevated sleeping area, to allow space for a double bed, and increased lounging area.

Days 2 and 3: Chamilandu
Spend the first 2 nights of your safari, at Chamilandu exploring the ebony groves and ox bow lagoons. Chamilandu Bush camp offers the connoisseur comfort class and beauty in one of the Luangwa’s prime river venues. Open to a 180° vista, the front of each tree house chalet provides the exciting frame for all of Luangwa Valleys diversity. Subtle décor adorns the 2m high tree houses. The tasteful blend of wrought iron and brass offsets the cream and pastels that welcome you to rest and relax. A series of seven ox-bow lagoons yield dramatic habitat changes and attract an abundance of wildlife.

Chamilandu offers travelers the classic African adventure.

Days 4 and 5: Chindeni
After an early breakfast at Chamilandu, set off on your trail to Chindeni, arriving in time for a hearty brunch. Spend 2 nights at Chindeni viewing the game from your own private raised wooden decking over the still waters of the lagoon and exploring the evergreen forests on foot. Surrounded by majestic hills, shaded by ancient ebonies and nestled on the apex of an ox-bow lagoon, Chindeni helps weave the spell that is Africa. Chindeni will stand proud in your memory as a place of magic.

Each tent has its own raised veranda from which to veiw the resident game and enjoy the serene yet breathtaking tranquility of the vast lagoon, from a vantage point of relative safety.

Days 6 and 7: Bilimungwe
Walking south once more, towards the confluence of the Kapamba and Luangwa rivers, Bilimungwe bush camp holds the distinction of being the southernmost camp in the National park. It offers not only the solitude you have come to enjoy, but also the ideal opportunity to discover yet another face of the Luangwa Valley, exploring on foot or in a vehicle. Bilimungwe’s permanent water hole is a popular venue for wildlife and the shallow clear Kapamba River offers the perfect setting to cool down, relax and reflect on the Luangwa encounter that you have just experienced.

Crossing the Luangwa River on the rustic pontoon sees you wave a sad farewell to the remote sanctity you have discovered and open a page on the final chapter of your African adventure. Add-on option Spend an additional night either side of your Luangwa Encounter Safari Experience at Mfuwe Lodge, a luxurious lodge inside the National Park overlooking the Mfuwe Lagoon. Mfuwe Lodge sits poised like an island paradise between two affluent lagoons affording constant spectacular game viewing. Together with the extensive network of winding game loops at your disposal and the high standards of the lodge, Mfuwe Lodge completes the Safari experience of a lifetime.
