PUKU RIDGE CAMP

Rich with wildlife, situated in the remote, wildlife rich South Luangwa National Park, Puku Ridge is nestled into a rocky outcrop beneath a canopy of trees with a stunning view of the floodplain below. This magnificent expanse of lush grassland is a prolific wildlife area that offers exciting viewing opportunities from the comfort of your tent. The camp is small and intimate and has been constructed to blend in to the local surroundings. Each of the seven luxury tents has a comfortably furnished sitting area, en-suite facilities with a stunning outdoor shower and a private wooden deck.

KULEFU

'The faraway place', located on a permanent channel of the Zambezi River, is shaded by massive Winterthorn Acacias which provide a cool and relaxing location to watch the world go by. The intimate camp offers seven spacious tented chalets with ensuite facilities, offering a relaxing view of the mighty Zambezi. The Lower Zambezi was for many years a forgotten wilderness and because of its remote location, has become a haven for many of Africa's 'big game' species. The park is situated in the Zambezi Valley, opposite Mana Pools National Park, a World Heritage Site and offers excellent game viewing.

SUSSI LODGE

Hidden in riverine vegetation on the banks of the Zambezi River, Sussi Lodge takes full advantage of its beautiful secluded riverside setting. 12 luxury treehouses have been built in the canopy of giant ebony trees and are linked to the main lodge, with its raised lounge, bar and dining room, by walkways. Surrounded by bush, hippo and elephant may wander through the grounds on their way to the river which is dotted with small islands and rapids. Activities on offer are many and varied.
