ACCOMMODATION

Tucked away in the southern reaches of South Luangwa National Park, Zungulila Bushcamp offers a rare glimpse into Africa as it once was—untamed, remote, and breathtakingly beautiful. Perched on a quiet bend of the Kapamba River, the camp is surrounded by vast plains and natural springs, drawing an abundance of wildlife to its doorstep.

Designed to reflect the golden era of safaris, Zungulila features just four Meru-style canvas tents, ensuring an intimate and highly exclusive stay. Each suite boasts en-suite bathrooms with outdoor showers and oversized bathtubs, offering guests the unique luxury of soaking under the African sky. Private verandas provide uninterrupted views of the floodplains, where hippos wallow in the river’s shallows, and thirsty herds gather at the water’s edge. Traditional safari décor, woven textures, and handcrafted wooden furnishings create a sense of timeless elegance, blending seamlessly with the wild surroundings.

Dining at Zungulila is an experience in itself. Every meal is thoughtfully crafted using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, served in the open air beneath the expansive African sky. Whether it’s a bush breakfast prepared over an open fire, a candlelit dinner under a canopy of stars, or a relaxed lunch overlooking the river, each moment is designed to enhance the connection between guests and nature. As the sun sets, sundowners by the campfire provide the perfect opportunity to unwind with a cocktail, listening to the distant roar of lions and the rhythmic hum of cicadas.

Zungulila is renowned for its exceptional walking safaris, led by some of Zambia’s most experienced guides. These immersive journeys reveal the hidden intricacies of the bush, from tracking fresh lion prints to observing the delicate dance of antelope through the plains.
