Mfuwe Lodge

Occupying a lovely spot overlooking Mfuwe Lagoon – a huge oxbow lake – Mfuwe Lodge is the flagship safari property of the Bushcamp Company. Historically this area has always been rich with wildlife, but being close the main gate also makes it a busier part of the park. With 18 chalets it is one of the larger properties in South Luangwa, and after extensive refurbishments in 2010 it is also one of the smartest and most modern.

Our view of Mfuwe Lodge

Mfuwe Lodge is quite grand and impressive; it's a plush lodge which is wonderful for some relaxing and pampering. However most people will only spend a few days at the start or end of their safari here – using it as a base to access the remoter and wilder bushcamps, which many will feel are more 'authentic' venues for a engrossing safari.
