Luangwa Safari House is one of two 'Safari Houses' built and designed by Neil Rocher who is well known for his previous work. It is located next to the South Luangwa National Park adjacent to Nkwali Camp. This magnificent private house is ideal for families or friends (up to 8 guests) looking for a little privacy. It is completely self contained with its own private staff (hostess, guide, chef and batman), allowing guests complete exclusivity and flexibility. Guests are free to, not only design their own meal menus, but also their game-viewing rhythm. Every bedroom is individually decorated with its own en suite bathroom and there's a large plunge pool for relaxation. Luangwa Safari House is open all year round and access to the park for most of the season is by boat or our nearby pontoon. Game viewing takes place on foot or on day and night drives whilst visits to the local village and school of Kawaza are also available. The area is famous for leopard and giraffe sightings. Mfuwe Airport is approx 40 mins transfer time.
You can combine Luangwa Safari House with Chongwe River House in the Lower Zambezi National Park and/or Tangala House on the banks of the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls and even the historic Shiwa N'gandu House.
Families are very welcome at South Luangwa House. The staff are fun, friendly and competent. The safari activities will be individually tailored to your family taking your children's ages and temperament into account. Particular activities for children include nature walks around the camp to identify and learn about animal spoor, droppings etc.; visits to the local Kawaza school to meet Zambian children; participate at a local workshop making elephant dung paper and greeting cards; visits to Chipembele Wildlife Educational Centre which has been set up to teach local children about the environment. Safari packs are given to each child with quizzes, animal books etc. Please note that the swimming pool, for cooling off during the heat of the day, is NOT fenced. Child minding is on offer and children can eat special children's meals at a time convenient to them. They can also help the camp staff if they wish, making biscuits for afternoon tea or collecting eggs from the chickens etc.

Kate visited Luangwa Safari House in September: "Zambia is rapidly gaining a name for itself as a child-friendly safari destination for those in the know… In large part this is due to the development of the East African concept of ‘safari houses’. Luangwa Safari House is a brilliant example. With Luangwa Safari House, your family party or group of friends takes the whole lodge, not just one or two inter-leading rooms. The lodge has with its own ranger and host so that you have a private vehicle for your game drives and a private chef. As you can imagine this leads to a much more relaxed and flexible family holiday. No constant worrying about whether Johnny is making too much noisy, no self-consciousness about an impromptu game of rugby on the lawn. You are free to choose your own game-viewing rhythm, heading out early one morning and taking it more relaxed another day. You can choose your own meal times and as importantly decide on what you all want to eat – great for families with slightly picky children."
