Five octagonal tented suites string along the riverbank, each with views across the water. Inside, a clawfoot bath and floor-to-ceiling windows face the river; outside, a private shower and verandah complete the tent. One of the five is configured as a family suite. The central lounge — the chitenje — is built around a fallen ebony trunk, and dinner moves outside to the riverbank when conditions allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe camp runs game drives in open four-by-four vehicles, night drives as an extension of the afternoon drive, guided walking safaris, and sleep-outs under the night sky. A game-viewing hide is also available on site. Walking safaris here follow a method Norman Carr developed in the Luangwa Valley in the 1950s — tracking on foot rather than from a vehicle. The surrounding area holds lions, leopards, and large elephant herds that cross the river in sight of camp; hippos are audible from the tents.

Norman Carr Safaris, which operates the camp, is credited with pioneering walking safaris in the Luangwa Valley in the 1950s, and walking remains central to what the camp offers alongside morning and afternoon game drives in open four-by-four vehicles. Night drives run as an extension of the afternoon drive. Boating safaris operate during the wet season months, when the river rises and moves differently. A sleep-out under the stars in the Luwi dry river bed is available as an overnight option away from the tents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGame drives carry no more than six guests per vehicle, so everyone sits on the outside row.

By 2004 it had passed into private hands and become a structured lodge, and a 2017 rebuild added raised wooden walkways linking the suites to the main area. That history is still visible: the restored rondavels now hold a shop, wildlife library, small gym and photographic studio. Today ten thatch-and-canvas suites stand on stilts above an oxbow lagoon, each with a private deck facing the plain. Seven are Luxury Suites; three Deluxe Suites add an outdoor bathtub. Two linked suites form a Family Suite with a shared lounge. The lodge sits in the park's northern reaches, well beyond the Mfuwe gate, near one of the few water sources left in the dry season. It is a compact stay. Guides lead two game drives a day, capped at four guests per vehicle, plus walking safaris with an armed scout. Wildlife wanders through camp unfenced, including a resident bull elephant known to staff as Charlie. Dinner runs three courses, paired with South African wines, most produce sourced from farmers in nearby Mfuwe since planting inside the park is banned. Lion Camp operates from 21 May to 31 October, closing with the rains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43968608960571,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/9789_2Fb403_lioncamp_activities_2.jpg?v=1786526664"}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-us\/collections\/region-northern-province.oembed","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
