Flatdogs Camp

Flatdogs Camp

South Luangwa National Park

Located in South Luangwa National Park this is a friendly owner-run camp right in the heart of the bush. Offering different types of accommodation there’s something for all tastes and budgets. There’s a good-sized pool and plenty of space to relax in between game drives. The camp is one of the the first in Zambia to be awarded a Fair Trade in Tourism certificate and every night you stay they donate a proportion to support the conservation of wildlife in the local area.

Choose from family-friendly Chalet Rooms which can sleep up 6, the wild and luxurious Jackalberry Treehouse which overlooks a waterhole and is ideal for adventurous families, honeymooners or two couples travelling together, the traditional Safari Tents with 270° views, and the ultra-private Crocodile Nest which sleeps 4 – 6.

All meals are served in the restaurant, serving dishes using local produce and in many cases home grown! 

Safari activities include morning and night drives, as well as walking safaris. All are accompanied by an experienced ranger whose knowledge of the bush is second to none.

The South Luangwa National Park is a pristine wilderness in eastern Zambia, and is part of the broader Luangwa Valley. The Valley is home to an astonishing diversity of life, including around 100 species of mammals, more than 400 bird species and over 2000 types of plants. Added to this, there is an amazing density of game, particularly along the riverine strip. Guests at Flatdogs often comment that ‘there’s something around every corner'.

The crowning glory is the rooftop bar ‘Treetops’ with spectacular views to the ribbon of the Zambezi and Zambia beyond. Sip a gin and tonic as you witness one of our astounding sunsets and watch the lights of Livingstone and the stars emerge. ‘Treetops’ is operated on an honesty policy and has tea and coffee facilities.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
