Food and Accommodation

Day 1 – 5: Lion Camp, South Luangwa National Park

Lion Camp is situated in the northern reaches of South Luangwa National Park, in a region rich in wildlife and photography opportunities. The camp, which is constructed on elevated decking that stretches along the side of a tranquil lagoon, has ten suites, each with stunning panoramic views of the plain.

Great Game Viewing Activities: Visitors, guides, and filmmakers agree that the game viewing around Lion Camp is some of the best in the park.

Accommodation: In addition to its fine safari reputation, Lion Camp has recently been redesigned and now offers stylish and comfortable accommodations.

Ideally Located: Situated on the edge of a lagoon that retains water in the dry season, the lagoon serves as a wildlife magnet – a game viewing treat from the bar, the pool, or your own private deck!

Day 5 – 9: Mapazi Camp, South Luangwa National Park

Surefoot Safaris operates solely from “Mapazi,” their tented bush camp. In a remote part of South Luangwa, far from the game-viewing road network, this 6-bed riverside camp offers incredible walking safaris. You will be closely interested in unwrapping the wonderful surprises of the bush on foot with expert guidance: experience the thrill of tracking some of Africa's largest wildlife as well as the fun of finding nature's subtle secrets. This is, without a doubt, the heart of the safari experience.

Three reasons you will love Mapazi Camp:

Explore Luangwa’s unspoilt wilderness: Mapazi Camp is located in a remote and undisturbed area of South Luangwa National Park, one of the world's most popular wildlife sanctuaries.

Walk with a Renowned Safari Guide: Explore the African bush with one of Africa's most knowledgeable guides! Deb Tittle has been leading walking safaris in South Luangwa National Park for over 22 years.

Track wildlife on foot: A bespoke walking safari is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage with nature. There is no better way to appreciate and understand Africa's wildlife than to go on a safari.
