Mfuwe Lodge

PLAN MY TRIP

Mfuwe Lodge is The Bushcamp Company’s award-winning flagship camp and is located within five minutes of South Luangwa National Park’s main gate.

Refurbished in 2010, accommodations at the camp consist of eighteen thatched chalets scattered along the shady banks of two lagoons. There are two suites, three family rooms, three doubles, and ten twin rooms available. The suites have a king-sized bed downstairs with an en suite bathroom and a lounge with a small daybed and half-bathroom upstairs. The family rooms come with a king-sized bed upstairs and a lounge with a daybed and en suite bathroom downstairs. The other chalets have a king-sized or two queen-sized beds and en suite bathrooms with a shower. Each chalet has a private deck.

The camp is ideally located 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. The Park enjoys a dense animal population including Impalas, pukus, waterbucks, giraffes, and buffaloes grazing on the plains. 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.

As the South Luangwa National Park is the rumored birthplace of the walking safari, the camp offers expertly guided walks led by an armed scout from the Zambian Wildlife Authority and a knowledgeable guide from the camp. Not only is a waking safari the best way to take a closer look at the area’s flora and fauna, it also provides lessons on tracking animals by their spoor or how to use the juice of a sausage tree to soothe an insect bite. Daily game drives are conducted by expert trackers in 4×4 vehicles. Night drives use spotlights to discover the nocturnal antics of many animals missed during the day. Sundowners are served right on the river’s edge.

The open-plan central lodge houses a reception area, lounge, dining area, and bar under a thatched roof supported by palm poles and featuring two magnificent chimneys at opposite ends. Overlooking the main lagoon, the lodge has a broad timber deck with a refreshing swimming pool. There is also an outdoor gym, curio shop, and a library with a private deck. The Bush Spa has plenty of pampering treatments available and overlooks a hippo lagoon.
