Is the Lion Camp for Me?

Lion Camp is positioned in the remote northern reaches of Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. This hidden location, far from the park gates, ensures you experience game viewing as nature intended – with abundant wildlife encounters and minimal vehicle interference. The camp operates seasonally from May to October, easily accessible from Mfuwe Airport.

The lodge embraces an elevated ‘tree house’ concept, raised above the Luangwa Valley floor and connected by a central winding walkway that links the canvas and thatch suites. Each accommodation offers panoramic views across the oxbow lagoon, complete with private shaded decks.

South Luangwa’s walking safaris distinguish this destination from conventional game drive experiences, allowing you to connect with the land and ecosystem alongside expert guides. You can stride into the bush and track wildlife on foot, creating genuine encounters with nature. Lion Camp appeals to discerning travellers seeking an authentic African wilderness experience, particularly couples and safari enthusiasts who value exclusivity and immersive wildlife adventures.
