South Luangwa's Most Classic Safaris.
A True Journey Into The Wild
Founded in 1999 and the largest safari operator in South Luangwa National Park, The Bushcamp Company has created one of Africa’s best classic safari circuits: eight camps inside South Luangwa, from iconic Mfuwe Lodge and The Villas at KuKaya to six remote authentic bushcamps deep within our exclusive 140,000-acre wilderness area inside the park.
Here, a safari journey unfolds as it should — with deep immersive experiences, expert guiding, a gradual connection to place, and in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich valleys. For travelers who want more than a safari snapshot, who want to truly experience Africa — there is wild, and then there is South Luangwa.
Authentic. Immersive. Unforgettable.

Our
Camps
and Lodges
The Ultimate South Luangwa Journey. While guests may craft their own safari, our camps are purpose‑built to be experienced as a circuit. Begin at Mfuwe Lodge or the Villas at KuKaya and journey through your choice of six distinctive bushcamps.
The Bushcamp Circuit.
Our six bushcamps are set within an exclusive 140,000-acre wilderness area inside South Luangwa National Park.
Small, intimate, and rooted in the classic Luangwa safari tradition, each camp offers a distinct sense of place — from river and lagoon settings to open plains alive with wildlife. With only a handful of guests in each camp, the experience feels deeply personal, unhurried, and connected to the wild.
Experienced together as part of The Bushcamp Company circuit, they create a richer journey through the valley and the authentic spirit of South Luangwa.
Award-winning Mfuwe Lodge is the gateway to South Luangwa National Park. Set just inside the main entrance of the park, 18 thatched chalets are arranged around two lagoons, allowing for afternoons of daily armchair game-viewing. The swimming pool and spa offer plenty of opportunities for some R&R. Guests enjoy game drives or walking safaris in a wildlife-rich section of the park.
THE LODGE THAT THE ELEPHANTS WALK THROUGH
The Villas at KuKaya offer a private safari retreat just inside South Luangwa National Park.
Designed for families and small groups traveling together, KuKaya combines the comfort and space of a luxury villa with a more flexible and private safari experience as a dedicated guide and vehicle comes with each booking.
Located just a short drive from Mfuwe Lodge, KuKaya provides the perfect gateway to the Luangwa Valley and the Bushcamp Company safari circuit.
