Shawa Luangwa Camp, Zambia

About This Property

Shawa Luangwa Camp, nestled within a tranquil riverside forest on the eastern bank of the Luangwa River, Shawa Luangwa Camp offers an intimate and eco-conscious safari experience in the heart of Zambia's renowned South Luangwa region. With just five elevated A-frame tented suites, the camp combines contemporary comfort, sustainability, and exceptional wildlife viewing in a beautifully secluded setting.

Shawa is celebrated for its unique "silent safaris," where guests explore the wilderness in solar-powered game-viewing vehicles. These near-silent game drives allow for a more immersive experience, bringing guests closer to nature while minimising environmental impact. The quiet approach enhances wildlife encounters and allows the sounds of the African bush to take centre stage.

The camp's distinctive stilted A-frame tents are thoughtfully positioned beneath the forest canopy, offering elevated views into the surrounding woodland and a strong connection to the natural environment. Designed with sustainability in mind, the camp operates entirely on solar power while providing all the comforts expected of a luxury safari retreat.

Despite its reputation for silent safaris, the camp itself is alive with the sounds of the wilderness. Guests can fall asleep to the distant calls of hippos, wake to the trumpeting of elephants, and spend their days listening to hornbills, owls, frogs, and countless other species that inhabit this wildlife-rich landscape.

Combining innovative eco-friendly design, exceptional wildlife encounters, and a peaceful riverside setting, Shawa Luangwa Camp offers a truly authentic and memorable safari experience for travellers seeking a deeper connection with nature.
