The Ultimate Luangwa Mosaic
The Floodplain Welcome
Arrive via Mfuwe Airport where your road transfer meets you. Check into Kafunta River Lodge, set right on the edge of the game-rich Luangwa river plains. Spend two days enjoying open-vehicle game drives, spotting Thornicroft’s giraffes, elephants, and abundant birdlife, and relaxing in the natural hot spring-fed pool.
Deep Wilderness Foot Safari
Transfer deeper into the remote southern reaches of the park to Island Bush Camp. Perched under giant mahogany trees right by the riverbed, this authentic bush camp trades electricity for starry skies. Experience traditional guided walking safaris focusing on tracking, tracks, and raw wilderness encounters.
The Confluence & Starbeds
Move northwards to Three Rivers Camp, located where three rivers merge into a pristine lagoon system. Enjoy intimate wildlife viewing from your luxury tent or retreat to your individual raised starbed to fall asleep under the magnificent African night sky.
Lagoon Tranquility
Conclude your safari journey with three unhurried nights at The Painted Dog's Lagoon in the Nsefu sector. Unwind in this exclusive, intimate haven watching wildlife interact seamlessly around the water source before your final transfer back to Mfuwe Airport.
