Where ‘the elephants walk through the lobby.'

Staying at the acclaimed Mfuwe Lodge will help you get used to life in the Luangwa. The lodge’s appeal is immediately apparent as it is located inside the park and is only a five-minute drive from the main gate.

Its thatched structures are situated around the banks of two lagoons, which are covered with ebony and mahogany trees. As you relax on the open deck or take a plunge in the pool, an endless stream of wildlife will keep you entranced. The lodge’s spacious interior is the perfect complement to the surrounding natural beauty.

This area of the park is known for having an abundance of wildlife. Giraffe, buffalo, antelope, and crocodile routinely visit the lagoon at Mfuwe Lodge, and in November, local elephants frequently amble through the lobby after being attracted by a nearby wild mango tree. Mfuwe Lodge’s laid-back appeal and magnificent surroundings make it the ideal stopover whether you stay overnight or just stop for lunch on your way to a bushcamp. You can unwind in Mfuwe Lodge’s Bush-Spa or purchase a few souvenirs from our curio shop to remember your time in Zambia.
