Zambia

Lion Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Deep in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, Lion Camp embodies the essence of Africa’s wild adventure melded with soothing tranquility.

The camp is currently being renovated and is set to reopen in May 2018. Accommodations at the camp consist of ten rooms joined by a central walkway. The rooms are spread out to ensure privacy and have amazing panoramic views of the plains. The rooms are built on elevated decks for a treehouse feel with canvas walls and a thatched roof. Evening Breeze cooling units will be installed over the beds. The en suite bathrooms will have water-filtered and solar-heated showers.

A camp without fences, Lion Camp is open to nearby grasslands so guests can expect sightings of prolific populations of elephant, hippo, bushbuck, and other antelope throughout the day. At night, the area becomes a hunting ground for lions. The camp is set in South Luangwa National Park, a world-famous wildlife haven centers around the Luangwa River. The Muchinga Escarpment forms the park’s western and northwestern boundaries, sloping steeply down to the river from the west side. The river valley, continued to the west by the Lunsemfwa River valley, forms a natural barrier, and to this day there are no man-made roads spanning the valley. A high number of leopards stalk the dense woodlands, while herds of elephant wade through the marshes and hippos play in the Luangwa River. There are about 400 bird species recorded in the Park.

An exhilarating morning or afternoon game drive discovers untamed wilderness of South Luangwa National Park. Lion Camp’s expert guides lead safari drives in Land Rovers while educating guests about the area’s incredible flora and fauna. Walking safaris offer a more intimate introduction to the ecosystem and smaller creatures of the park as well as lesson on tracking animals. Night drives explore the nocturnal antics of animals such as the elusive leopard. As the sun sets, a sundowner is enjoyed out in the bush with the beauties of nature all around.

The well-stocked central bar, fireplace, and dining area are now decorated in neutral tones to match the bush and provide relaxing spots to sip a drink, reminisce about the day’s explorations, or enjoy the views. A buffet-style lunch and plated dinner feature fresh, healthy fare, and the staff’s talented and friendly Zambian chefs work tirelessly to prepare incredible meals on site. The main lodge also has a library, small shop, and an infinity pool with sun loungers on an expansive deck that’s perfect for game-viewing.
