About Luwi Camp

  • Close Panel 

Luwi Camp is a seasonal camp nestled under huge mahogany trees on the banks of a permanent lagoon.

Accommodation is in just four huts constructed of grass and thatch with polished mud floors. All have ensuite bathroom. A small thatch provides shade over the bar area. Daytime meals are served in the shade of the trees with a view of the grassy plain that normally attracts an abundance of wildlife, whilst dinner is taken under the stars accompanied by the many sounds of the African night.

There is a large lagoon adjacent to camp that teams with hippo and crocodile. This permanent water source attracts game from far and wide making the camp area constantly busy with animals. Luwi is one of the camps situated deepest in the Luangwa wilderness, lending the camp a rustic appeal and providing a truly African bush experience. Since there are very few roads in this area of the Park, the emphasis from Luwi is on walking.

Pricing guidelines for Zambia

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless airlines have special offers). Zambia combines well with Malawi and Botswana.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
£

  £50 to £150

If Kuyenda matches the 'house made of straw' image, then I'd put Luwi in as a strong contender!  This is a true bush camp - deep in the heart of the park and very rustic indeed. For those who love the great outdoors and being far from cilvilisation it's superb.  There are also fairly frequent sightings from here of the Luwi pack of wild dogs.  I would combine this with another camp on the river front, so you get a contrast in scenery during your holiday.
