Big Lagoon Camp
A rustic revival of one of the original camp sites of the Luangwa
Big Lagoon Camp
Big Lagoon Camp is an exceptional choice for families seeking a unique and luxurious Zambia safari. Located in the South Luangwa National Park, this intimate camp features just three spacious reed-and-thatch chalets, ensuring privacy and an exclusive experience. Overlooking a permanent lagoon that attracts wildlife year-round, families can witness animals gathering right from camp.
What makes Big Lagoon particularly special for families is its focus on walking safaris. Led by expert guides, these safaris offer a chance to explore the bush on foot, observing wildlife up close while learning about animal tracking and the environment in a safe and engaging way. It’s a fantastic opportunity for children to connect with nature and enjoy a more immersive safari experience.
The camp’s relaxed atmosphere, combined with personal service, makes it ideal for families who want both adventure and comfort. Between walks, the waterfront deck provides the perfect spot to relax, with incredible views of the surrounding wildlife. Meals are enjoyed together under the shade of trees, and the smaller size of the camp means more personalised attention from the staff.
