Where in Africa shall we go?

A Remote Sanctuary in the Heart of the Wild
Hidden deep in South Luangwa’s most pristine landscapes, Time + Tide Luwi offers an exclusive safari experience in total seclusion. Set along the ephemeral Luwi River, the camp immerses guests in nature’s unfiltered beauty, where vast floodplains and untouched bushlands create a haven for wildlife. Here, the wilderness dictates the rhythm of life, offering an unparalleled sense of serenity and adventure.

With only four spacious safari tents shaded by ancient mahogany trees, Luwi redefines barefoot luxury. Each tent features an open-air en-suite bathroom, an outdoor shower, and a private veranda where the sights and sounds of the African bush unfold. As the golden dawn breaks, the calls of fish eagles resonate across the river, while elephants move silently through the landscape—an experience both humbling and breathtaking. In the stillness of the afternoon, hippos wallow in oxbow lagoons, and leopards stealthily prowl beneath the shade of the trees.

Dining at Luwi is a celebration of Zambia’s rich flavors, with gourmet bush meals served beneath a canopy of stars. Mornings begin with coffee brewed over an open fire, accompanied by freshly made jaffles. Long, leisurely lunches feature vibrant seasonal ingredients, while evenings bring refined yet rustic dishes, enjoyed in the company of roaring lions and the whisper of the night breeze.

Renowned for its exceptional walking safaris, Luwi offers a deeper connection to the wilderness. Expert guides lead guests through ancient animal trails, unveiling the delicate interplay of predator and prey. Day and night game drives offer unparalleled wildlife encounters, from vast herds of buffalo to elusive leopards. A nearby wildlife hide, positioned at the edge of an oxbow lagoon, provides a privileged perspective of elephants, hippos, and vibrant birdlife. Whether on foot, by vehicle, or from the stillness of the hide, every moment at Luwi is an invitation to witness Africa at its most untamed.
