King Lewanika Lodge

Guided by veteran Norman Carr Safaris' guides, Liuwa Plains Camp is the only permanent camp operating in Liuwa Plain National Park.  The area has a long and rich history and is homeland of the Lozi people. The traditional Monarch of the area is the Paramount Chief or King, called the Litunga, meaning 'keeper or guardian of the earth'. One of the earliest protected areas in Africa, Liuwa Plain was proclaimed a game reserve by the king in the early 1880’s; protected by the Lozi people and used as a royal hunting ground.

This is a true Wilderness, managed by African Parks Zambia since 2003. By spending time and interacting with both organisations, guests will be able to see first hand how African Parks and the Zambian Carnivore Programme are securing the future of this recovering ecosystem.  Often described as the photographers dream, guests will see thousands of wildebeest, discover various species of rare birds (330 species; some in flocks of hundreds), follow cheetah hunt in the plains or watch clans of up to 50 hyena interacting at their den.

There is something for everyone.

King Lewanika sits discreetly perched on the fringe of one of Liuwa’s magical pockets of woodlands, providing the perfect shaded vantage point overlooking the magnificent expanse of the mighty Liuwa Plain.

The luxury safari tents are tastefully designed to celebrate the breathtaking views at every opportunity, allowing you to be enveloped by the magnificent vistas from the comfort of your room or private expansive veranda.
