About Luwi Bushcamp, South Luangwa National Park

About Luwi Bushcamp, South Luangwa National Park

Luwi Bushcamp takes its name from a nearby river, which is mainly a dried up sandbank through out the year, the river was actually named after a Zambian chief, Chief Lubi (pronounced Luwi). Due to its remoteness within South Luangwa National Park the activities offered by Luwi Bush Camp are focussed around walking safaris. The concentrations of animals in the area are prolific and to track them on foot each day is a memory never to be forgotten. The 4 grass and thatch huts lends the camp a rustic appeal and provides a truly African experience.

The bar area is the only covered communal area meaning that day time meals are served under the shade of the trees and evening meals are served under the blanket of the African stars accompanied by the sounds of the African bush.

Dining

Breakfast, brunch and afternoon tea are served throughout the day. Dinner comprises of 3 courses and is served under the stars.
