Big Lagoon Camp (previously Crocodile River Camp) encompasses just three chalets that all rest beneath a grove of spectacular Muchenja (Ebony) trees. In 2022 Crocodile River Camp was moved to Big Lagoon, less than 1km south of the original site. It's now called Big Lagoon and revives one of the original camp sites of the Luangwa, a camp where John Coppinger used to visit with his family as a child.
The camp overlooks an expansive lagoon that holds water throughout the year so is perfectly situated to enable guests to observe the daily wild visitors that come to quench their thirst.
The chalets are a delightful combination of natural building materials and imaginative architecture. The end result is a simple, comfortable and authentic experience for guests.
