Shawa Luangwa Camp

Shawa Luangwa Camp

Nsefu Sector

Named after the legendary Zambian tracker and Safari guide Jacob Shawa, Shawa Luangwa Camp is a small, eco-friendly bush camp overlooking the Luangwa River in the Nsefu Sector. This is one of the park’s most untouched areas where excellent year-round game viewing and astonishing habitat diversity make it ideal for safaris by foot and vehicle.

Each of our 4 Luxury Safari Tents is individually styled for a modern under-canvas experience on the banks of the Luangwa River. The tents consist of three Couples Tents and a spacious Family Tent.

The camp enjoys an excellent position overlooking the nearby river, a comfortable and welcoming main area for dining and socialising and a small pool

Activities are varied and based around game drives, using electric 4x4 vehicles and these are conducted as silently as possible, and with minimal impact on the environment. As the birthplace of the walking safari, South Luangwa beckons you to step out into the bush with one of the camp's knowledgeable guides and to fall in love with this wild and precious place.

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.
