A Luangwa without the crowds
“Seeing Luambe is to see the Luangwa as it used to be.”
– Adrian Carr, long standing Luangwa Resident
Luambe National Park offers a Luangwa Valley experience reminiscent of the early days in the valley – remote and wild! Luambe Camp is the only accommodation in the entire park, so the whole experience is extremely remote and private and you can be assured that you will have wildlife sightings all to yourself.
The key points you need to know before visiting Luambe:
IDEAL CAMP LOCATION
Our 4 en-suite safari tents overlook the Luangwa River and are large and spacious. Hot showers, great beds and homestyle dining ensure all the necessary comforts have been provided.
UNIQUE SAFARI ACTIVITIES
Your safari activities with Luambe can be tailored to your interest! If you would prefer a more traditional safari, we still offer the more traditional program but we do love to have our guests get involved in conservation work when possible.
WILD & REMOTE SETTING
Being a small and intimate bushcamp, we have the opportunity to focus on our guests and we also encourage guests to take things slowly and enjoy the different activities and experiences on offer in Luambe.
An exclusive and unique safari experience
What makes us different to other Luangwa safari camps?
“On our honeymoon from the USA and our first experience on the continent. Wow! Luambe Camp met all expectations! Staff are incredible. Wildlife everywhere and our guide is second to none. Thank you for a wonderful time. Our highlights included wild dogs interacting with elephants and a hippo plus a leopard dragging its prey away. So many beautiful birds!”
