Days 1-4 South Luangwa National Park (Mfuwe)

On the first day of your adventure, you will fly out to Mfuwe, to Nkwali Camp. This camp is situated on the banks of the River Luangwa, within a private reserve. An open-sided timber, stone, and thatch structure contains most of the communal areas, including the lounge, library, and bar. The atmosphere is very friendly, and the views are superb! Nkwali also has a thatched dining space and a spacious swimming pool surrounded by sunloungers. You will stay in one of six en-suite bamboo-and-thatch chalets. All chalets are open fronted, so you can relax together and marvel at scenes of elephant crossing the river without even leaving your room! The area around camp often plays host to lion, leopard, and wild dog too. Nkwali offers great game drives and walking safaris. The camp’s own pontoon takes you into the South Luangwa, and you can expect to see numerous predators and herbivores. The birdlife is brilliant! And you can also visit the local market and enjoy a village tour.
