Lion Camp, South Luangwa National Park

Wild and remote game viewing defines the safari experience at Lion Camp, an intimate property tucked away amongst sausage and mahogany trees in the northern reaches of the South Luangwa.

Set in one of the most exclusive and wildlife-rich corners of Africa, it’s little surprise the game viewing around Lion Camp is exceptional. As its name might suggest, you can expect impressive lion sightings throughout the year and especially during the dry season, as well as leopard, wild dog, elephant and unique species like the Thornicroft’s giraffe and Crawshay’s zebra. Stretched along the side of an oxbow stream, the camp is unfenced and local wildlife are known to move freely about the property. Activities, which include bush walks, game drives and photographic safaris, are limited to four guests and led by a team of professional, enthusiastic guides.
