The Family House at Mfuwe Lodge

The Family House

A spacious safari house at Mfuwe Lodge.

For those who want it all—privacy, comfort, and the pulse of the wild.

Tucked within the grounds of award-winning Mfuwe Lodge, The Family House is your private sanctuary in the heart of South Luangwa—a perfect retreat for families, small groups, or couples seeking space, seclusion, and style. Two spacious, interconnecting bedrooms (each with en-suite bathrooms) open onto an enclosed garden designed for relaxation and play. A shimmering private pool invites cooling dips, while a firepit, pizza oven, and braai area set the stage for alfresco dining under African skies.

Experiences.

Elephants in Reception

Each year, between late October and mid-December, entire elephant families wander through Mfuwe Lodge’s reception to feast on fallen wild mangoes—a spectacle so iconic it’s become legend. 

Game Drives

Explore the rich diversity and incredible wildlife of the South Luangwa on a game drive. On four wheels, you’ll cover as much of the region as possible and maximise your game-viewing.

Walking Safaris

The walking safari was born in the South Luangwa, so it’s only fitting that many of your outings will be on foot with the very finest guides in our exclusive 140,000 acre section of the park.

Sundowners

As the sun sinks below the horizon, there is nothing better than finding a spectacular spot in the heart of the bush for an ice-cold drink and something to nibble on.
