The award-winning Mfuwe Lodge, built under thatch and supported by palm tree poles, is situated in Zambia's game-rich Luangwa Valley in the South Luangwa National Park, a conservation area famous for its concentrations of hippo, buffalo, and elephant as well as being home to major predators, lion, and leopard.

Cool off in the lodge's swimming pool while watching African wildlife graze or drink at the lagoon below you or head off on an exciting morning, afternoon, or night game drive or even a guided walking safari. And after all the excitement, spend some quiet time rejuvenating at the bush spa while drinking in the beautiful views of the river.

Rooms

Director's House

The Director's House is ideal for families, small groups, or the traveller who wants a bit more space and privacy. This 2-bedroom, exclusive-use villa is elegant, modern, and tastefully decorated - making it the perfect place to unwind and relax after a day of exploring South Luangwa.

Spend your days lounging poolside as a tasty meal cooks on the BBQ, and spend your nights around the warm flames in the fire pit as your pizza bakes in the pizza oven.

Standard Chalet

Scattered along the banks of the lagoon are Mfuwe's 18 private chalets. The 13 Standard Chalets offer open-plan living, an en suite bathroom, a mini bar, and a private game-viewing deck overlooking the lagoon. The bathing corner, which opens up to give guests an open-air bathing experience, is a special feature of each chalet.

The three Family Chalets and two Suite Chalets boast an elevated sleeping area, double beds, a private bar, and increased lounge space in addition to the features that are standard to all chalets.
