Lion Camp is a hidden gem located in the northernmost reaches of Zambia's South Luangwa National Park, one of the best places in Africa for an authentic wilderness safari.  Being away from the park gates, we provide safaris as they should be, abundant game viewing and few other vehicles.  The South Luangwa National Park is not just an animal refuge, but a living, breathing ecosystem, carefully preserved and fiercely protected.  It is home to over 60 animal species and 400 bird species which all live off the Luangwa River, the lifeblood of the Luangwa Valley.

Easily accessible from Mfuwe Airport, Lion Camp operates between May and October in a pristine ecosystem and provides the perfect  balance of authentic bush and luxurious comfort.  Elevated above the Luangwa Valley floor with a "tree house" aesthetic, our canvas and thatch suite connect to the main area with a cental winding walkway.  All the suites have spectacular panoramic views of the oxbow lagoon and feature a shaded private deck.
