About the Camp

Camp

Lion Camp is built on elevated decking stretched along the side of a tranquil lagoon. The camp comprises 10 suites joined by a central winding walkway. All the suites have spectacular panoramic views of the plain, plenty of wildlife passes through which can be viewed from the comfort of your own deck. Our suites are spread out to create more privacy, and two new ‘deluxe suites’ maximise the prime positions.

Where we are

Location

Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park is one of the best places in Africa for an authentic wilderness safari. Lion Camp is located in the northernmost reaches of the park, being away from the park gates we provide a safari like it should be … with abundant game viewing and few other vehicles.

“Our experience at Lion Camp was so much more in every way … the landscapes are more varied, the wildlife more numerous and more accessible, even the skies seem bigger … it really is the best place to go on safari. We are spoilt for life”

What you can do

Experience

Our world class Zambian guides will take you on driving or walking safaris, and night drives – a great way to see animal behaviour after dark – we are flexible so you can choose how to structure your days. For those who are looking to do more relaxing and recharging than adventuring, the camp provides a pool that looks out over the plains, plenty of comfortable areas to read and unwind, a library with a selection of interesting reference books and a variety of gifts for sale.

Lion Camp has a fresh focus on sustainability and maintaining the ecological balance. The extensive refurbishment project has presented the perfect opportunity to review what we do and why we do it. Our partnership with Mantis promises to build on our past work and take us forward to a more sustainable and successful future. We are fully committed to preserving this pristine eco system that surrounds us, by working with local organisations and directly with communities.
