Puku Ridge

For incredible vistas and prime game viewing, Puku Ridge Camp is a superior choice for a stay in the South Luangwa National Park. Its allure comes from its outstanding location: perched on a hilltop in an exclusively remote area of the park, it offers guests panoramic views over the floodplains below.

The opportunity for exceptional insights into animal behaviour is enhanced by the design of the camp which is camouflaged to blend in with its surroundings while leaving a minimal carbon footprint. Composed of a large living and central dining area and seven generous safari tents each with their own viewing deck, the feel of the camp is spacious and comfortable. Tents benefit not only from their own indoor showers and baths, but from outdoor facilities that are carefully shaded by forest for unique viewing experiences.

Every area of the camp has been designed to take advantage of the incredible viewing opportunities offered by its surroundings, giving you the chance to spot more than 60 mammals and over 400 bird species while unwinding in communal areas, resting in your tent or even when in the bathtub. When you do venture out from the comfort of this luxury camp, you’ll be brought on game drives in especially designed 4×4 vehicles or on exciting and informative bush walks accompanied by expert guides.

Lying nestled in a remote game-rich area of the park, lion, leopard, elephant, giraffe and zebra can frequently be seen alongside antelope, buffalo, bush babies, and impala.
