Shawa Luangwa Camp is situated on the eastern bank of the Luangwa River on a site hand-picked by Jacob Shawa, the Head Professional Guide at camp. Jacob fell in love with the Zambian wilderness many years ago and has been deeply connected to it ever since. From this beautiful location, you can cross the river on a pontoon or boat and explore the prime game-viewing areas of the South Luangwa National Park or alternatively the game rich Nsefu Sector. Elegance and comfort combine with the quiet intimacy of a classic African bush camp in five Shawa Luxury Tents. The tents have been raised above the ground on stilts, which lessens their impact on the environment, and they open entirely on three sides to offer an unblocked 270-degree view over the river and across the park.

At Shawa Luangwa Camp, the South Luangwa National Park is on your doorstep, just waiting to be explored by vehicle, boat or foot with a wonderful guide by your side. Through Silent Safaris, care for the environment extends beyond camp into the wilderness of the park and Nsefu Sector. Electric Land Cruisers are powered by Zambia’s abundant sunshine to traverse the area quietly, lightly and with minimal carbon footprint. Every day brings a new opportunity for an immersive experience within the diverse landscapes of this world-renowned wildlife sanctuary. And then, when you emerge from the bush, the hours between safari activities are yours to do as you please back at camp. Participate in E-cruiser game drives, walking safaris, boating safaris, or bird watching, or relax in the plunge pools at the camp.
