Mfuwe Lodge
Luangwa ValleyThis award-winning luxury safari lodge occupies an idyllic spot overlooking Mfuwe Lagoon in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, in an area renowned for its abundance of game.
Mfuwe Lodge features 18 spacious and stylish thatched chalets dotted along the banks of two lagoons, all decorated in a mix of traditional and contemporary African décor. Each one has a delightful veranda, perfect for relaxing on as you enjoy the views.
The lodge is home to dining and bar areas, and there is also a spacious pool.
The array of activities includes day and night game drives, visiting a school or local village, or guided walking safaris. When you’re feeling less energetic, enjoy a blissful massage at the spa as you watch hippos in the lagoon below. Alternatively, choose a book and settle in a comfortable spot in the library.

“You’ll be amazed at the ‘deep in the bush’ feeling of Mfuwe Lodge. Located just inside South Luangwa National Park, the award-winning property is famous for the local elephants that wander through the lobby in search of fruits from the wild mango tree nearby. The park itself is renowned for prolific game viewing, and in the dry season is famed for the concentrations of hippos, buffalo, elephants and leopards, just to name a few.”
