The award winning Mfuwe Lodge, located just inside the South Luangwa National Park, sits beneath a canopy of ebony and mahogany trees, with the thatched buildings arranged around the lagoon banks where an endless stream of wildlife will keep you enthralled as you lounge on the open deck or cool off in the swimming pool. 18 open-plan thatched chalets lie along the shady banks of the lagoon with individual verandas offering privacy and seclusion. The African styled interiors of the rooms are the perfect place to wind down with their comfortable sitting rooms, en-suite bathrooms and panoramic walk-in showers. The game-viewing potential is second-to-none here with morning and late afternoon game drives, allowing you to explore as much of this prolific region of the Luangwa Valley as possible. Walking safaris can be arranged on request. A truly unique happening occurs annually at Mfuwe Lodge – whole families of elephants, who have been regular visitors for a number of years, wander through between late October and mid-December to feast on the fallen fruits from the “Wild Mango” tree in the lodge grounds. What’s more, they walk straight through the main reception area….an unbelievable experience not to be missed.
