Mfuwe Lodge – The Gateway to South Luangwa

Nestled beneath ancient ebony and mahogany trees, just inside the entrance to South Luangwa National Park, Mfuwe Lodge is The Bushcamp Company's iconic safari lodge and the perfect gateway to one of Africa's greatest wildlife destinations.

Overlooking two wildlife-rich lagoons, the lodge's 18 spacious thatched chalets blend comfort with an authentic bush atmosphere, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding wilderness from private decks. Wildlife is never far away, with elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hippos, antelope and countless bird species frequently seen from the lodge itself.

Mfuwe Lodge is world-renowned for its extraordinary elephant visitors. Each year, during the wild mango season, families of wild elephants calmly walk through the lodge's reception to feast on fruit from the centuries-old mango tree at its heart—one of Africa's most remarkable and naturally occurring wildlife spectacles.

Guests enjoy expertly guided morning and afternoon game drives, walking safaris in the birthplace of the walking safari, exceptional cuisine, a swimming pool, spa, and warm Zambian hospitality. Open year-round, Mfuwe Lodge offers the ideal beginning or conclusion to a Bushcamp Company safari, combining contemporary comfort with unforgettable wildlife encounters in the heart of South Luangwa.
