Lion Camp: Luxury Safari in Zambia’s wildlife heartland

Lion Camp offers an exclusive safari retreat in South Luangwa National Park, featuring 10 elegant thatch-and-canvas suites immersed in Zambia’s iconic wilderness.

Known for its abundant wildlife, the park attracts safari travelers seeking encounters with lions, leopards, elephants, and buffalo across unspoiled landscapes. 

Situated in the northern sector of the park, Lion Camp provides visitors with intimate access to rare species, including Thornicroft’s giraffe, Cookson’s wildebeest, and Crawshay’s zebra.

Peak wildlife activity occurs during the dry season from May through October, offering memorable sightings on every excursion.

Safari Experiences at Lion Camp 

Game Drive Safaris 

A game drive is a classic African safari adventure, offering a window into the rhythms of the wild. From the comfort of a vehicle, travelers witness animals in their natural habitats, experiencing the park’s vast landscapes and remarkable biodiversity. 

Walking Safaris 

Walking safaris provide an immersive experience. Guests move quietly on foot through the bush, noticing subtle signs of life—tracks, sounds, and scents—that reveal the hidden stories of the wilderness. 

Photographic Safaris 

Lion Camp caters to photographers, whether professionals or hobbyists, with dynamic landscapes and wildlife ready to be captured. Each outing offers a chance to frame unforgettable scenes against the backdrop of Zambia’s untamed beauty.

Accommodation and Comfort 

Lion Camp blends comfort with natural elegance. Each suite features en-suite bathrooms, cooling systems, and private decks overlooking the wilderness.

Elevated walkways connect the camp, offering sweeping views while maintaining harmony with nature. 

Luxury Suites provide quiet retreats with private decks and serene interiors. Deluxe Suites add outdoor showers, bathtubs under the stars, and, in one case, a rooftop sleep-out deck perfect for stargazing.

Family Suites connect a Deluxe and Luxury Suite via a shared lounge, balancing privacy and togetherness for groups. 

Dining at Lion Camp 

Meals at Lion Camp are crafted from fresh, local ingredients and reflect both Zambian flavors and international influences.

Guests start with a light breakfast before their morning game drive, enjoy seasonal lunches in the bush, and end the day with elegant three-course dinners under the African sky.

Each dish is designed to enhance the safari experience and celebrate the region’s culinary richness. 

A Safari to remember 

South Luangwa is a place where time slows, measured by sunrises, animal tracks, and the roar of lions at night.

For travelers seeking authentic African wildlife without sacrificing comfort, Lion Camp offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of the wild.
