Mfuwe Lodge

South Luangwa National Park

Set inside the park, this award-winning Mfuwe Lodge’s allure is instantly obvious. The perfect place to enjoy excellent game viewing, recharge your batteries, or to start or finish your journey. Unwind in the sanctuary of the spa or lounge on the open deck or take a dip in the swimming pool. Beneath a canopy of ebony and mahogany, Mfuwe’s thatched buildings are arranged around the banks of two lagoons where an endless stream of wildlife will keep you enthralled. This region of the park is renowned for its prolific game – giraffe, hippos, buffalo, antelope and crocodile are constant visitors to Mfuwe Lodge’s lagoon, whilst in November local elephants regularly wander right through the lobby, lured by a nearby wild mango tree. Scattered along two lagoons’ shady banks lie eighteen thatched chalets from which you can enjoy your own private piece of Africa. Secluded covered verandas look out over wallowing hippo and thirsty game in the lagoons, while the comfortable sitting rooms and en-suite bathrooms with panoramic walk-in showers are the perfect place to wind down. The game-viewing potential at Mfuwe and the surrounding area is second-to-none. Walking safaris….
