Nkwali Camp is a well-established safari camp set on private land just outside South Luangwa National Park, offering a blend of comfort, elegance, and immersive wildlife experiences. Positioned on the banks of the Luangwa River, the camp provides stunning views of the river and the abundant wildlife that frequents its shores, including elephants, hippos, and a variety of bird species. Nkwali Camp is known for its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making it an excellent choice for both first-time safari-goers and seasoned travellers. The camp has just six spacious chalets, ensuring an intimate experience. The chalets are constructed with local materials, featuring large open fronts that allow guests to take in the natural surroundings from the comfort of their room. Each chalet is well-appointed with en-suite bathrooms and open-air showers. Nkwali Camp is situated near the main entrance to South Luangwa National Park and has exclusive access to the park via a pontoon or a nearby bridge. This proximity allows for early and extended game drives in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions, renowned for its large populations of leopards, lions, and diverse birdlife. The camp also offers walking safaris, night drives, and cultural visits to nearby local communities, providing a well-rounded safari experience. Known for its exceptional guiding and warm hospitality, Nkwali Camp offers a memorable stay, combining luxury with the adventure of the African bush.

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
