What to Expect
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. 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.
Jacob Shawa is not only a legendary Zambian guide; he is also the inspiration behind building Shawa Luangwa Camp in the first place. Jacob was brought up in the Luangwa Valley and his interest in wildlife started when he was young. Whilst he was completing secondary school at Mambwe High School (at the time the only secondary school in the Valley) Jacob’s passion for wildlife was so evident that he was named Chairman of the Wildlife Conservation Club for the school.
Highlights
The Shawa Luxury Tents each melt away into the stillness and greenery of the surrounding trees, creating natural privacy and peace – it is your own spot in the South Luangwa wilderness. You are never far away from the sights and sounds of the African bush. Between morning and evening safari activities, pass the time on your river-front deck watching everything change colours as the sun moves towards the horizon. After the final outing of the day, soak in the sunken bath and enjoy the silence that is broken only by the breeze in the trees, chirping of insects and birds, and an impala’s bark. Bed configuration in the tents are flexible, allowing for either double or twin, which makes them ideal for a family or group of friends travelling together.
E-Cruiser Game Drive
Blend into the quiet of nature in our e-Cruiser, which allows you to experience all the sights and sounds of the bush in near silence and with a deep sense of environmental care. *Our lodge is home to two eVehicles.
Walking Safari
Slow down to nature’s pace as your knowledgeable guide and armed scout leads you on a bush walk that immerses you in incredible landscapes that are rich in diverse plant, animal and bird life.
Birding
Keep your eyes and ears open because you don’t want to miss seeing some of the 400 bird species that call the South Luangwa home.
