Zambia's Wild Horizons: The Kafue and Liuwa Plains May 2027

Wild Dog Lodge, conveniently located just 15 minutes from Lusaka International Airport and a short 20-minute journey from the vibrant center of Lusaka city, is an ideal starting point for your Zambian safari. This newly built lodge is a perfect blend of comfort and authentic local ambiance.

Our guests are accommodated in four beautifully crafted, traditionally thatched chalets. Each chalet is equipped with locally inspired furnishings and offers an ensuite bathroom with all necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.

The lodge is set in a lush, serene garden, providing a peaceful retreat. An inviting swimming pool is available for guests to enjoy a leisurely swim or relax by its side. Culinary experiences at the lodge are a highlight, with meals served in a warm, welcoming restaurant environment or outside on the terrace for those who prefer dining under the open sky.

At Wild Dog Lodge, you are ensured a personalised stay, making it more than just a place to rest — it's an integral part of your safari experience in Zambia.

Fig Tree Bush Camp is situated next to a beautiful beach created by the dried sand banks of the Shishamba River. The camp overlooks a large lagoon, 1.7 km long and about 60m wide.

This lagoon maintains it’s alluring water throughout the season attracting an array of wildlife including Elephant, Puku, Impala, Warthog, Zebra, and Hartebeest. Predators like Lion, Cheetah, Leopard and Hyena are regular visitors. The Wild Dog in the area have also been frequent visitors to the area and prey on the concentration of game.

The camp is made up of a Boma and 4 raised Luxury Safari Tents. Each safari tent has an en-suite bathroom and veranda presenting a unique view from the tree canopy. Guests will then come together underneath the Fig Tree to savour the serenity of the lagoon as well as delicious food and wine.

Game drives take place twice a day. Walking safaris are also an option in the cool of the morning and allow guests to explore the surroundings and what they overlook on the drives.

After dinner guests will sit around a campfire, feet in the sand, gazing at the stars and listening to the sounds of the African Bush.

Liseli Lodge is located in a peaceful suburb of Mongu, where guests will find an oasis of calm and tranquillity. Equipped with all the facilities needed to have a relaxing, stress-free stay in the true heart of Zambia.

Your base in Liuwa will be a private mobile camp set up exclusively for our group, in one of the designated camping areas within the park. These sites are usually tucked into patches of woodland, giving welcome shade, a good camp atmosphere, and plenty of birdlife around us even before we head out onto the open plains.

For 2027, the camp will be enhanced while keeping the genuine mobile safari feel that makes this way of travelling so well suited to Liuwa. Accommodation is in walk-in safari tents with proper beds, solar lighting and private en-suite facilities. It remains simple in the right way — close to the landscape, informal and authentic — but guests are very comfortable.

The camp has a relaxed, sociable feel. Meals are freshly prepared by the mobile safari team and served in camp, with improved menus and cool drinks adding an extra level of comfort to the experience. Evenings are spent around the fire or in the boma, talking through the day, listening to the night sounds and enjoying the sense of being properly out in Liuwa.

This is not a rough camping expedition. Everything important is taken care of by an experienced team who know how to run a camp in remote country, leaving guests free to enjoy the safari without worrying about the practicalities.

The mobile camp gives us the right base for this experience: comfortable, personal, well hosted and close to the heart of the park.

Liseli Lodge is located in a peaceful suburb of Mongu, where guests will find an oasis of calm and tranquillity. Equipped with all the facilities needed to have a relaxing, stress-free stay in the true heart of Zambia.

Set in an area of pristine wilderness, KaingU Lodge offers a magnificent game and safari experience in the heart of the African bush. The lodge is environmentally-friendly, with the architecture of the entire camp and associated buildings designed to blend in and harmonise with the surroundings. Maximum use has been made of existing trees, rocky outcrops and topographical features in its layout and construction, thereby minimising the impact on the original look and feel of the area. The focal point of the lodge is the thatched central area with lounge, dining room and bar overlooking the river. Situated on a high plateau, KaingU enjoys an all-year-round moderate climate and is accessible in all seasons with good road and air access.

Perhaps the greatest feature of the lodge is the absolutely unique river landscape where the lodge is located. It is the only lodge on this unique stretch of river where the Kafue spreads out into a myriad of rocky channels and island before rejoining to flow into the lake. Game drives are usually done in the National Park (a ten minute boat ride away), while boating, canoeing, walks and even lounging in rock pools is also all on offer!
