Puku Ridge Camp
Explore the untamed wilderness of Zambia's South Luangwa National Park from Puku Ridge Camp. Traditional structures finished with elegant design elements combine thatch, canvas and wood to create luxury African canvas-chic accommodation.
Constructed on elevated wooden decks, the camp has uninterrupted views of the seemingly endless savannah. Giraffes, hyenas, elephants, leopards, lions and buffalos roam the plains of South Luangwa, many of which you'll be lucky enough to see without leaving camp. Photography enthusiasts in particular will love the hide with its unique views of the private watering hole that attracts predators and prey alike.
Zambia is famed for its night drives and, using the award-winning red light protocol, Puku Ridge guests are able to watch elusive nocturnal wildlife hunt and forage with no inkling that they're being observed. Daytime walking safaris get you up close to the flora and fauna, allowing for an opportunity to slow down and take in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Puku Ridge – all excellent. It was the one place I felt another day wouldn’t go astray. Well organised and friendly
The bush camps were all amazing especially Chendi and Puku Ridge. We had great game drives and saw all there was to see.
