Flatdogs Camp ★★★

📍 Plot 8755, Mambwe

"We stayed for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. The staff is so helpful and kind and really want you to have a nice stay. We loved the food and ate much more than we should have, but we couldn't resist. It is all delicious and the choice is very good too. We had the most amazing sightings during our stay and our guide Chris kept us entertained with new knowledge every day. The location is lovely and we enjoyed the animals walking through camp every day. Our room was very comfortable and clean. I would recommend Flatdogs to anyone who wants to visit South Luangwa, great value for money."

Mopani Safari Lodge ★★★★

📍 Stand 19088/ M Lupande, GMA, Mambwe

"My stay at Mopani Safari Lodge was an unforgettable experience that beautifully blended with the raw beauty of the African wilderness. The safari drives were the highlight—expertly guided, well-timed, and incredibly rewarding. We spotted elephants, lions, giraffes, and an array of birdlife, with guides who were knowledgeable, passionate, and respectful of the environment. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Each meal felt personalized, with local ingredients and warm, attentive service. Whether it was a bush breakfast or dinner under the stars, every bite came with atmosphere and care. The staff were outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our stay special. They struck a perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, making us feel both at home and immersed in the wild."

Shawa Luangwa Camp

Shawa Luangwa Camp ★★★

📍 South Luangwa National Park, Mambwe

"My husband had booked an early 50th Birthday trip to Zambia for me, my dream destination. We luckily chose Green Safaris for all our camps and every one of them surpassed all our expectations First stop was Shawa. We were greeted by Donald our ranger for our next 3 nights and he was amazing! When we arrived at the camp all of the wonderful staff was singing and dancing as we drove up, what a wonderful way to arrive and be greeted. Thembe was the manager and she was so friendly and was an absolute pleasure to be around. Kenny our wonderful Butler really took care of us. He took us to our room but there was a herd of elephants blocking our entrance, we were so close to them , fantastic. Kenny made sure we were safe, so we went for lunch instead. The meals were wonderful and there is so much food so you never hungry. Thank you Kenny for spoiling us, you are truly a joy. The rooms are beautiful and have amazing views, with frequent visits of elephant herds and baboons. They are kept spotlessly clean Donald was outstanding and we had the most amazing sightings of Leopards hunting morning and night. We saw a mother with her baby cub drinking by some water. Donald’s eye sight is ridiculous he can spot anything miles away. We saw EVERYTHING, Including a large pack of wild dogs. Our game drives were awesome. Thank you Donald for the awesome experience and your expertise. There were so many hidden surprises prepared by the staff throughout our stay. I don’t want to say what they our to spoil anyone’s experience. We were completely spoilt by everyone at this camp on so many occasions. Shout out to Nicky who works for Green Safaris, we had great fun with you on our drives. This was a five star experience the entire time. I would highly recommend staying at this very special place. Thank you to everyone who made us feel like part of the Shawa family, I will never forget this amazing experience."

Mopani Safari Lodge ★★★★
"Best service in Zambia. The food was amazing and housekeeping was excellent. The hot water and water pressure are issue which can be improved on. Shakil, Riaz, Precious were excellent providers for our group of 12. Also, Boyd and William were excellent Game guides."

Shawa Luangwa Camp ★★★
"This was our first real safari and I was a little apprehensive about the tent but the whole experience was amazing and I am really hoping we will return to this camp soon. The location of the camp was great. We had quick easy access to the park just across the river. The guiding was exceptional. We are keen photographers and our guide Jacob understood exactly where to take us, how to get us the best view and also how to avoid other vehicles, often leaving us feeling as though we were the only people in the park. We saw so much amazing wildlife ranging from carmine bee eater colonies to giraffe, buffalo, lions (including cubs), hippos, large herds of elephant, wild dogs, hyenas and a leopard. We did a walking safari on one day which was really interesting. The camp was quiet when we were there so we had private guiding - the electric vehicles are great too. So much quieter and no diesel fumes. The food was good - you certainly don’t go hungry there! The bed was comfy and the indoor bath was good to have at night (or in the day to cool off!). It was pleasantly cool at night but pretty hot in the day. There was a fan however to cool you and the tent opened up to let a breeze through but not insects because of the screening, We had elephants in camp most days and nights as well as hippos. It took a couple of days to adjust to the night time sounds! But it didn’t feel unsafe in the tents on platforms. All of the staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. We did have a couple of issues whilst we were there, but they were handled promptly and really well. We stayed six nights and we could’ve easily stayed longer. We were seriously sad to leave. The camp was relatively easy to get to as it was on a regular charter from Lusaka followed by an hour transfer by Safari vehicle. Sundowner drives were a particular highlight. Sitting with a cold drink on the riverbank, watching hippos and elephants cross the river as the sun set is a memory I will have forever. "
