Royal South Luangwa Safaris Lodge

Flatdogs Camp

"We stayed 4 nights at Flatdogs on our recent visit to Zambia and were blown away by the experience. The camp is in a beautiful location; on the banks of the Luangwa river and only 5 minutes from the entrance to the South Luangwa National Park. This means that no time is wasted getting into the park and wildlife frequently wanders through the camp itself. The guiding provided by Flatdogs was excellent but the same could be said of every member of staff at the camp. Whilst we don't have a massive amount of experience of safari camps, we agreed that this was the friendliest we had ever stayed at. Our tent overlooked the Luangwa river and was very comfortable. The restaurant was excellent with a good choice of really good food and the (at least to us) unusual advantage of having flexible mealtimes. I do hope we get to return to South Luangwa and, frankly, I couldn't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else if we do."

Camp Sabali

"Had a memorable time relaxing in the capable hands at Camp Sabali. The Emerald season gives a completey different experience in Luangwa as the rains transform the landscape into a verdant panorama. Camp Sabali is a beautiful set of six boutique tents set just a few metres from the Luangwa River. Super comfortable and magical space to listen to the hippos sing or have elephants wander through camp. It's a wonderful set-up - owned and run by the affable, and passionate Leon. His knowledge of bird species and the local flora and fauna is incredibly enlightening. The onsite Sabali team of Elvis and Rhoda deliver a happy, attentive and personal service while Mary cooks up delicious and well presented dishes. High tea, elevenses, and sundowners along the river banks - totally immersive stuff from Camp Sabali. Daily game drives were with our knowledgeable and fun guide Issac. He was full of information, not only about the larger species that draw most visitors, but also about the geographical shaping of the park, numerous birds, plants, river courses, and interaction between the animals. He'll teach you to listen for the alarm calls and watching the sky for scavengers. Thank you Leon (Seb & Ash) for an unforgettable stay at the excellent Camp Sabali. Highly recommended stay in South Luangwa. See you next time!"

Mopani Safari Lodge

"El alojamiento está situado en una ubicación excelente, con sólo el río la separa del parque. Las habitaciones son muy limpias y el mantenimiento de la casa es muy bueno. La comida podría ser mejor, con opciones limitadas, y no hay alcohol en las instalaciones. Personal muy amable y dedicado. Las habitaciones tienen unas vistas increíbles a la vida silvestre."

Shawa Luangwa Camp

"This is a lovely boutique camp in an amazing location. The rooms overlook the river where you can see plenty of wildlife throughout the day. The elephants came right up to our balcony! The food was great and the staff went well beyond to look after us. Our safari guide Jack Sparrow was knowledgeable and great fun, we really enjoyed our trips out. Highly recommend, would definitely go back."
