Lion Camp

Lion Camp offers families a truly immersive safari experience in a remote northern corner of the South Luangwa National Park. 

Set on stilts overlooking a lagoon, the camp’s unique ‘treehouse’ design offers panoramic views of the surrounding plains, where elephants, hippos, and even lions often roam freely. A short walk amongst the treetops finds the eight spacious tented suites, all boasting shaded private decks overlooking a nearby oxbow lake. 

The Ebony Deluxe Suite is perfect for families, featuring an outdoor bathtub, private lounge with a sleeper couch, and a spacious deck that connects to the main viewing platform, making it easy for everyone to relax together and share stories from the day. 

With 5 dedicated safari guides to only 10 suites, Lions Camp offers truly exclusive game drives and walking safaris, spotting four of the Big Five or learning about South Luangwa’s unique species like Crawshay’s zebra and Thornicroft’s giraffe. Keen photographers can go on additional game drives with a specialist photographic guide who can help you get that perfect shot. 

Back at the main camp, guests can unwind with a cocktail beside the pool or eagerly await the nocturnal wildlife to emerge in the hide. Lion Camp’s incredible wildlife experiences and attentive service create lasting memories that will leave the whole family wanting to return.
