The open plan reception, lounge, dining and bar areas overlook two lagoons and the wallowing hippo and thirsty wildlife keep you enthralled. The lodge has 18 air-conditioned chalets which are scattered around the gardens and secluded verandas outside each provide a lovely vantage point for the comings and goings. Inside each chalet has a comfortable sitting room, imperial King or twin beds and a spacious en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. The suites have an additional seating area upstairs, and the family rooms have ample space for two children.

The location of the lodge in the park is renowned for its prolific game, and giraffe, hippos, buffalo, antelope, and crocodile are constant visitors to Mfuwe Lodge’s lagoon.

Walking safaris can be arranged on request, but the majority of outings are game drives. In November, elephants regularly wander right through the lobby, lured by a nearby wild mango tree.

“That lodge where the elephants’ walk-through”

Each year at the Mfuwe Lodge, whole families of elephants visit between late October and mid-December to feast on the fallen fruits from the large Wild Mango tree in the lodge grounds.

The pool area offers a relaxing space to unwind, with views of the Mfuwe Lagoon and its wildlife.

(Morning & Afternoon)

Scheduled morning and afternoon game drives are a staple, with the option of exciting night drives to witness nocturnal wildlife.

Where the walking is king

The walking safari was born in South Luangwa, so it is only fitting that many of your outings will be on foot with the very finest guides.

Discover the true meaning of relaxation at Mfuwe Lodge’s Bush Spa, a tranquil retreat in the heart of the wilderness, perfect for anyone seeking rejuvenation of mind, body and soul.

These provide insights into the local community and their way of life, with opportunities to engage with community projects.

The best time to visit Mfuwe Lodge in South Luangwa National Park is during the dry season, from May to October. This period offers the best wildlife viewing opportunities as animals congregate around water sources. Specifically, May to July offers pleasantly cool evenings, while October and November provide the strongest wildlife viewing but can be uncomfortably hot, especially at night. The lodge is open year-round, but game viewing is generally less concentrated during the green season.
