Flatdogs Camp ★★★

📍 Plot 8755, Mambwe

"We stayed 4 nights at Flatdogs on our recent visit to Zambia and were blown away by the experience. The camp is in a beautiful location; on the banks of the Luangwa river and only 5 minutes from the entrance to the South Luangwa National Park. This means that no time is wasted getting into the park and wildlife frequently wanders through the camp itself. The guiding provided by Flatdogs was excellent but the same could be said of every member of staff at the camp. Whilst we don't have a massive amount of experience of safari camps, we agreed that this was the friendliest we had ever stayed at. Our tent overlooked the Luangwa river and was very comfortable. The restaurant was excellent with a good choice of really good food and the (at least to us) unusual advantage of having flexible mealtimes. I do hope we get to return to South Luangwa and, frankly, I couldn't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else if we do."

Mopani Safari Lodge
9.4 (29 reviews)

Mopani Safari Lodge ★★★★

📍 Stand 19088/ M Lupande, GMA, Mambwe

"Locations is good, 15-20mins to the park entrance gate. It has a river at the back which attracts many animals. Our room also faced the river and lagoon. Food was excellent, it was being customized to personal choices to some extent. Safaris were amazing, our guide Ackim was very knowledgeable. We saw leopards, lions, wildogs, hyenas, girrafes, buffalos, hippos, zebras, and many other smaller animals. Overall great experience with nice hospitality !!"

Camp Sabali ★★★★

📍 Unnamed Road, Mfuwe, Kakumbi, Mambwe

"I had an incredible experience at Camp Sabali! The food was truly outstanding, with a unique menu crafted by the owner, Leon, who was also a fantastic host. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel right at home. The camp's setting was breathtakingly beautiful, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and unforgettable stay. Highly recommend Camp Sabali for its exceptional hospitality, delicious cuisine, and stunning surroundings!"

Shawa Luangwa Camp
9.8 (25 reviews)

Shawa Luangwa Camp ★★★

📍 South Luangwa National Park, Mambwe

"I tavelled solo with Green Safaris for two weeks in July. Lower Zambezi at Sausage Tree, Chisa Busanga Camp, Shawa Luangwa Camp and Likoma Island in Malawi. I had a totally fabulous time at all three camps in Zambia. Great design, caring kind staff and delicious food. I palled up with an English couple and we had the best time. So much fun. At Shawa we shared a vehicle and fantastic guide Jack Sparrow. Jack is so passionate about nature and the wildlife. Jack was determined to ensure that we had the best time. Morning drives, night drives and beautiful spots for sundowners. Jack is an enthusiast and he arranged for us to watch the World Cup Final in the staff room. A memorable occasion fueled by much laughter and wine. The scenery was amazing and the elephants and rhino population prodigious. I did not feel alone for one minute. A beautiful lunch was set up for me on the deck. Heaven drinking a glass of rose and looking at elephants wander across the bank on the other side. I hold a special place in my heart for Shawa and the lovely team."

Flatdogs Camp ★★★
"Flatdogs without fail has been the most memorable Holiday we have ever experienced. It exceeded all of our expectations and we honestly loved every second of it. From the moment we arrived we were treated like old friends. Every staff member was so friendly, so kind and so attentive. End always with a smile. Our safari tent was comfortable, immaculately clean and spacious and overlooked the river. Listening to the sounds of hippos will stay with me forever. The restaurant was fabulous, great choices and great food and all in a beautiful setting. The wildlife viewing and guiding was just mind blowing. We were lucky enough to have 7 nights at Flatdogs and every drive was so memorable. We had the most amazing sightings and at times we hadn't even got down the drive out of Flatdogs to see something so exciting ( Leopard and 18 giraffe all 200m from reception!!! ). Thank you Thank You thank you Flatdogs team for giving me memories that will stay with me forever xxx"

Shawa Luangwa Camp ★★★
"Had the most amazing safari while staying at the Shawa camp. From the welcome dance to the bespoke menu to the knowledgeable guides, we had the most intimate experience in the wild. True to their name, everything about the camp is Green, including the vehicles that are battery powered."
