Puku Ridge Camp is situated in the remote, wildlife-rich South Luangwa National Park. Named for the Puku antelope that inhabits the Kakumbi Dambo (floodplain), which the camp overlooks, Puku Ridge Camp is built on a hillside, providing stunning vistas of the floodplain and the wildlife that frequents it.
The camp is small and intimate and has been constructed to blend into the local surroundings. Each of the 7 luxury oversized tents has a comfortably furnished sitting area, en-suite facilities with a stunning outdoor shower and a private wooden deck where guests can view game from the privacy of their own rooms.
There are a variety of sleeping configurations to suit each guest, with tents having options of two three-quarter beds, double or king size beds. Each tent also has mosquito nets and ceiling fans. Tea and coffee is brought to the rooms each morning by a room attendant.
The central main area has a dining area for gourmet bush dinners, as well as a swimming pool and bar. Activities at Puku Ridge include game drives and guided walking safaris.
Airstrip Transfer Time: 45 minutes to 1 hour from Mfuwe Airport
