Overview of Mfuwe Lodge

Zambia, South Luangwa National Park

The award-winning Mfuwe Lodge, built under thatch and supported by palm tree poles, is situated in Zambia’s game-rich Luangwa Valley in the South Luangwa National Park, a conservation area famous for its concentrations of hippo, buffalo and elephant as well as being home to major predators, lion and leopard.

Cool off in the lodge’s swimming pool while watching African wildlife graze or drink at the lagoon below you or head off on an exciting morning, afternoon or night game drive or even a guided walking safari. And after all the excitement, spend some quiet time rejuvenating at the bush spa while drinking in the beautiful views of the river.

Hippos wallow in the pool by the spa and don't be surprised if you see an elephant wandering through the communal areas! Fantastic experience.

Great location for the start or end of a South Luangwa safari due to its location close to Mfuwe Airport. It’s a hop, skip and jump from the airport and you are settled into camp, to take in the wonderful views, great service and delish meals.

It is a larger camp so perfect for those who want to blend in and not be fussed over too much, great amenities with a well-stocked curio shop, bush spa, photographic room and library. Lots of space and places to relax and a good variety of rooms to choose from.
It’s a popular lodge, so it can get busy, but works really well when combined with the more rustic bush camps for a balanced experience.

My husband and I cannot thank you enough for setting up our wonderful vacation to Mfuwe lodge. We can not say enough about our tremendous experience. Thank you for recommending the lodge, as it was so beautiful! The staff were amazing, the food was incredible and the game drives were just as incredible.
