Tucked away in the remote wilderness of Zambia, Sungani Lodge rests beside a serene lagoon — once a channel of the mighty Luangwa River, which still flows nearby. This tranquil setting offers breathtaking views and a front-row seat to the ever-changing wildlife that frequents the water’s edge. Designed to harmonise with its natural surroundings, the lodge blends seamlessly into the landscape, echoing the earthy tones and textures of the bush.
As a family-owned and operated camp, no attention to detail was spared in ensuring a relaxing, authentic, and unforgettable stay.

The southernmost camp in South Luangwa National Park, Sungani is renowned for its high concentration of wildlife, making it one of the world’s premier safari destinations. The camp itself rests beside a serene lagoon, offering breathtaking views and a front-row seat to the ever-changing wildlife that frequents the water’s edge.

Breakfast can be enjoyed either á la carte or grab-and-go. A hearty buffet lunch is served after your morning activity, and refreshing drinks are available all afternoon.

The camp’s lounge features ample seating, all positioned for optimal view over the lagoon.
