Flatdogs Camp
10 (51 reviews)

Flatdogs Camp ★★★

📍 Plot 8755, Mambwe

"Without doubt, one of the most magical experiences of our lives and that’s with some pretty iconic African safaris already done. Flatdogs jumped to the top of the totem pole with ease. The sightings were incredible, the guides knowledge, the owners and all staff are like something out of a Disney movie but genuinely are that lovely and are incredibly passionate about their guests having a special experience. Do not hesitate to book. I’m a tough critic, But Flatdogs could do no wrong. The sightings, staff, accommodation, setting, atmosphere 10/10/10!"

Track and Trail River Camp

Track and Trail River Camp ★★★

📍 South Luangwa National Park, Mambwe

"After a bumpy ride from Lusaka to South Luangwa, and a shocking experience at Croc Valey (avoid at all costs) we discovered Track and Trail River Camp where we spent five unforgettable days and nights . We stayed in “Hippo House” — not for the faint-hearted, as it’s set alone in the wild — but for us, it was hands down the best bush stay we’ve ever had. Watching elephants, hippos, and birds from the verandah rivalled any drive in the park. A real privilege. Gret facilities and restaurant overlooking the Luangwa River. The lodge chalets and camping ground are some of the best Ive experienced , great decor and well maintained. Staff and owners were efficient and friendly . A great find ."

Mopani Safari Lodge

Mopani Safari Lodge ★★★★

📍 Stand 19088/ M Lupande, GMA, Mambwe

"Amazing location adjacent to Luangwa National Park. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the view is worth a million dollars. The food was delicious as well. I highly recommend the Mopani Lodge if you want to see some of the best nature Africa has to see. I would love to return here in the future."

Shawa Luangwa Camp
9.8 (23 reviews)

Shawa Luangwa Camp ★★★

📍 South Luangwa National Park, Mambwe

"I tavelled solo with Green Safaris for two weeks in July. Lower Zambezi at Sausage Tree, Chisa Busanga Camp, Shawa Luangwa Camp and Likoma Island in Malawi. I had a totally fabulous time at all three camps in Zambia. Great design, caring kind staff and delicious food. I palled up with an English couple and we had the best time. So much fun. At Shawa we shared a vehicle and fantastic guide Jack Sparrow. Jack is so passionate about nature and the wildlife. Jack was determined to ensure that we had the best time. Morning drives, night drives and beautiful spots for sundowners. Jack is an enthusiast and he arranged for us to watch the World Cup Final in the staff room. A memorable occasion fueled by much laughter and wine. The scenery was amazing and the elephants and rhino population prodigious. I did not feel alone for one minute. A beautiful lunch was set up for me on the deck. Heaven drinking a glass of rose and looking at elephants wander across the bank on the other side. I hold a special place in my heart for Shawa and the lovely team."

Flatdogs Camp ★★★
"We absolutely loved our stay at Flatdogs Camp. Why? 1. Close encounters with wildlife in the camp. Every day, elephants walked across the lawn and monkeys and baboons played on the swing chair or drunk from the pool. The camp is close to the national park entrance and elephants swim over. 2. The staff and owners were incredible hosts - especially Lydia who welcomed and looked after us. We were shocked that the barman on the first day new our name 3. The facilities especially the bar and restaurant meant it was truly social and we met a brilliant couple who we shared our drives with 4. The game drivers with Kennedy - saw so much wildlife and was very knowledgeable. We didn't stay in one, but heard the 2 tree houses are incredible."

Track and Trail River Camp ★★★
"What a fantastic place to stay ! Elephants, hippos, honeybadgers, vervet monkeys, baboons and loads of birds are allover the garden. I stayed in a very comfortable tent. All you need is available, including electricity, a fan to keep you cool during the hottest hours of the day and wifi. Meals are prepared with care and attention - simply delicious. And the staff (ALL of them !) are such nice people. The park entrance is 5 minutes away by car."

Mopani Safari Lodge ★★★★
"Mopani Safari Lodge has the most amazing location, you literally see elephants, giraffes, baboons from your french doors looking out on to the lagoon. From the pool area you overlook the river and the sound of the numerous hippos becomes your soundtrack! It's incredible. The staff are wonderful, so attentive and friendly. Our guide Eddie was exceptional and on our drives we literally saw everything - buffalo, leopards, lions, giraffes, zebras, hundreds of birds, hippos, hyenas. This was my first safari and exceeded expectations. The only thing of note however, is that this is a dry resort, and I did miss not having a sundowner of a gin and tonic and the odd glass of wine! I'm sure my liver was grateful however!!"

Shawa Luangwa Camp ★★★
"This is a lovely boutique camp in an amazing location. The rooms overlook the river where you can see plenty of wildlife throughout the day. The elephants came right up to our balcony! The food was great and the staff went well beyond to look after us. Our safari guide Jack Sparrow was knowledgeable and great fun, we really enjoyed our trips out. Highly recommend, would definitely go back."
