Nkonzi Bush Camp, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
A Tented Camp in Zambia
Camp Details
Located inside South Luangwa National Park in an exclusive wilderness area.
Deep in the heart of South Luangwa National Park, Nkonzi Camp is a unique tented camp offering a remarkable safari experience. Nkonzi is small and intimate, a place where every guest receives personalised attention.
The safari tents evoke old-world safari charm and have all the comforts that you need. And Nkonzi is truly off the beaten track. Here you have only the wildlife for company, and at night time, the Milky Way stretching endlessly across the sky.
Nkonzi Camp is a tented camp set among grassy plains and ancient forests. To the north, the Luwi River attracts a vast array of wildlife throughout the year. This is one of least-visited but most rewarding game viewing areas in the South Luangwa National Park.
With zero light pollution and panoramic views of the Milky Way, Nkonzi Camp is perfectly positioned for stargazing too.
As remote and unspoiled as Nkonzi is, it’s still easily accessible. The South Luangwa main gate is a 45-minute drive south, and Mfuwe International Airport is approximately 1.5 hours by road.
