Luangwa Safari House
South Luangwa National Park
The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoiled wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It is through this that the great meandering Luangwa River runs with its lagoons, riverine supported woodlands and large plains, all of which play host to huge concentrations of game. The impressive private Luangwa Safari House sits gracefully on the edge of a lagoon system frequented by large herds of elephants, impalas, giraffes and countless other species which use the lagoon as a source of water and food throughout the year. All of which is magnificently set off by the back drop of the Chindeni Hills. During the dry season lunch can be had on the raised deck surrounded by up to eighty elephants splashing around and enjoying the cool water! The magnificent structure of Luangwa Safari House hangs between twenty-five enormous leadwood poles – this silvery weathered wood embodies the powerful yet elegant nature of the house. Upon entering through a huge pivoting door you are welcomed by a large airy main area, the front of which is completely open affording incredible
views of the landscape and countless animals as they stroll past the house. This room, the ceiling of which reaches up to forty feet in height, is dominated by enticing sofas, two floating staircases on either side leading to the upstairs bedrooms and a large wrought iron and marble dining table. The open front of the main area leads on to a tiled terrace with a refreshing plunge pool on one side and a decked walkway through the ebony trees on the other. The four spacious rooms are individual in style and have their own en-suite bathroom and private verandah area for you to enjoy the tranquility of Zambia.
This magnificent private house is the ultimate in luxury and the perfect getaway for families or groups of friends seeking an indulgent and private break. During your stay you will be looked after by a team dedicated solely to you. Your private guide will tailor each and every activity around your personal preferences and requirements, whilst the chef and house manager will ensure that everything is as you want it for when you are back in the house.
