Zungulila Bushcamp
Zungulila is a remote and peaceful camp located in the south of the park. Based near natural springs it attracts huge herds of plains game which in turn attract the predators! With just four Meru style tents and relaxing outdoor baths, you can enjoy your creature comforts whilst spotting them…
Why we love Zungulila!
Colonial-themed luxury in the remote bush, surrounded by the call of the wild. The huge safari tents with outdoor showers/bath afford stunning views of the floodplain, as does the open thatched-roof seating area with open dining deck. Set in what amounts to a private concession operated by the Bush Camp Company, this is an unforgettable bespoke experience of Africa at its best, we didn’t encounter another vehicle in our 2 days here! Brilliant service went above and beyond; making our own pizza at our bush lunch, sundowners on the river, and exceptional guiding. Wildlife experiences so intimate you feel part of the plains.

Remote
Zungulila is about a 4-hour drive south from the main gate. The nearest camp is its sister bush camp. The focus here is walking as you will not bump into any humans just wildlife! With just four rooms with outdoor baths, you can watch as huge buffalo herds wander by and elephants come to soak just as you do. If you want to make sure you are away from the crowds, have guaranteed sightings to yourself and can explore the untouched wilderness then this is the camp for you.
Walking
South Luangwa is the home of the walking safari and this camp is based around that activity. Although they do have game drive routes so you can get further afield the focus is on discovering the bush by foot. This makes for a great combination with some of the other bush camps and Mfuwe Lodge where there is a heavier focus on driving.
Natural springs
You will regularly wade through the springs on walks where you can soak your tired feet and cool off. Unique to this camp, the low water levels don’t attract hippos or crocs so you can enjoy using the steam as an organic dip pool! They also attract many animals all year round who use it as a water source to drink. It is the perfect area to watch game in comfort.
