Luwi Bush Camp

Country:  Zambia

Location: South Luangwa National Park
 
Style: Luxury Tented Camp

---

Luwi is a seasonal bush camp nestled under huge mahogany trees on the banks of a permanent lagoon.   It is situated deep in the heart of the Luangwa National Park and is one of the only safari camps to be positioned well away from the permanent waters and rich vegetation of the main river.

With the emphasis on the use of natural materials in its construction, accommodation is in 4 huts made of grass and thatch with polished mud floors.

Each room is designed differently, utilising trees and natural vegetation wherever possible.   The design of these rooms lends the camp a rustic appeal and provides a truly African bush experience.

A small thatch provides shade over the bar area but other than this there is no central covered area.

Daytime meals are served in the shade of the trees whilst dinner is taken under the stars accompanied by the many sounds of the Zambian night.

Due to its remote location there are not many roads in the area so activities are centred on walking safaris.   The wildlife in the area is prolific and tracking game on foot is a memory that will last a lifetime.

A large lagoon adjacent to camp teems with hippo and crocodile.   This permanent water source attracts animals from far, making the camp area a hub of wildlife activity.

Morning walking safaris usually take 3 to 4 hours before returning to camp for a hearty brunch.   Afternoons are spent relaxing while viewing the wildlife attracted by the lagoon, with a further safari later in the day.
