Location:- Kwena Lagoon Camp is situated in the Luamfwa Concession in the southern sector of the South Luangwa National Park.
The Luamfwa Concession is located in the wild and uncrowded (with people that is!) southern sector of the Park. Whereas for the most part the Luangwa River forms the eastern boundary of the National Park, separating the protected area from communal land and game management areas where hunting takes place, in the remote southern sector it meanders westward and both banks are protected. It is here that our camps can be found, on sites that are situated on the banks of the Luangwa River in a unique section of this exceptional Park, imparting a feeling of remoteness and exclusivity.

At a glance:

  • Number of tents

    • 7 x Twin/Double guest tents
    • 1 x Family guest tent
    • 2 x Twin guide tent (not the same standard as a guest tent)

    Tent details:

    • 8 Safari tents - Tents are en-suite and include an indoor and outdoor shower.

    Accommodation:- Accommodation consists of eight safari-style tents, each en-suite with both an indoor and outdoor shower. The camp's dining and bar area under a canopy of giant ebony trees and a pool and viewing deck area located to the side of the camp all offer spectacular views of the lagoon that may once have been part of the Luangwa River.

    Activities:- South Luangwa is renowned as the best walking destination in Africa and guests have the choice to explore the Luangwa riverine vegetation and adjacent dambos on guided walks. Other activities include day-and-night wildlife-viewing drives.

    Wildlife:- The highest concentration of wildlife is the Luangwa River and its rich vegetation. There are herds of elephant and buffalo, as well as dominant antelope species such as impala and puku. Other antelope include common waterbuck, bushbuck, eland, kudu, grysbok, oribi, reedbuck, Lichtenstein's hartebeest, sable and roan. Species such as Thornicroft's giraffe and Cookson's wildebeest occur nowhere else in the world and the area's leopard viewing is legendary. The main predators are lion, leopard, spotted hyaena and wild dogs. The dry season along the Luangwa River - when all game is forced to congregate along its banks as water resources dwindle elsewhere - is an experience every Africa fan should indulge in. High-density hippo populations dot the riverbanks while yellow baboon and Defassa waterbuck provide a contrast to their southern cousins.

    Access:- We utilise Luamfwa airstrip which is located about 5km from Kwena Lagoon Camp.
    Airstrip coordinates:
    13 28 19.32 South 031 23 05.16 East at 497m above mean sea level
    1300m long

    Child Policy:- Children of 8 years and older are welcome.
    Only those individuals over 16 are permitted to walk.
    One price season valid July to November 2007 but May to November thereafter.

    • Plug points providing 220v power are available for charging batteries. Guests need to be conservative with the use of all electrical equipment.
    Water supply:-

      • Potable water to the camp comes from a borehole
