About the Property

A Riverside Camp at South Luangwa's Gate

Flatdogs Camp sits on the Luangwa River just outside the entrance to South Luangwa National Park, near the village of Mfuwe. It offers a mix of accommodation: family chalets sleeping 4-8, seven luxury and three classic safari tents, a two-bedroom Jackalberry Treehouse overlooking a waterhole, and the Crocodile Nest tented house for 4-6 guests, all with en-suite bathrooms.

The camp is Zambia's first Fair Trade Tourism certified camp or lodge, and every night's stay contributes US$15 toward the Luangwa Conservation and Community Fund, which supports local conservation and community projects, including school visits through Project Luangwa.

Activities are built around South Luangwa's walking-safari tradition: game drives and walking safaris in the park, with lion, leopard, elephant, hippo, giraffe, zebra, buffalo and wild dog regularly seen, plus community visits to the nearby school.

✓ Zambia's first Fair Trade Tourism certified camp ✓ Just 1km from the South Luangwa National Park gate ✓ Conservation levy funds community and anti-poaching work
