Luwi Bush Camp
Luwi is a seasonal bush camp nestled under huge mahogany trees on the banks of a permanent lagoon deep in the heart of the South Luangwa National Park.
Due to its remote location there are not many roads in the area so activities are centred on walking safaris. This fact makes Luwi Bush Camp one of the most enthralling camps in Zambia. The wildlife in the area is prolific and to track it each day on foot is a memory that will last a lifetime.
Accommodation is in four huts that are made of grass and thatch with polished mud floors. Each room is designed differently utilising trees and natural vegetation wherever possible. The design of these rooms lends the camp a rustic appeal and provides a truly African bush experience.
A small thatch provides shade over the bar area but other than this there is no central covered area. Daytime meals are served in the shade of the trees above whilst dinner is taken under the stars accompanied by the many sounds of the Zambian night.

There is a large lagoon adjacent to camp that teams with hippo and crocodile. This permanent water source attracts wildlife from far and wide making the camp area constantly busy with animals.
Typically your day will start early, around the camp fire when you will discuss the noises and animals heard through the night. Your morning walking safari is likely to take three to four hours returning you to camp in time for a hearty brunch. You can relax in the afternoon, viewing the wildlife attracted by the lagoon, before a further safari later in the day.
It is possible to combine Luwi with the other three Norman Carr bush camps - Nsolo, Kakuli and Mchenja - walking out of one camp early in the morning and arriving at the next for brunch to find your bags already waiting for you.
